New paper re: sexual system evolution

I had a new paper out recently in Palaeontologica Electronica! Woot!

Sexual discrimination at work: Spinicaudatan ‘Clam Shrimp’ (Crustacea: Branchiopoda) as a model organism for the study of sexual system evolution T.I. Astrop, L.E. Park, Brown, B. and S.C. Weeks

Invertebrate Round-Up

There have been some excellent blog posts about inverts this week... Two posts about Branchiopod Crustacea?! Hell yeah!


Water fleas (AKA "Flying Belly Monsters) @ Real Monstrosities
Sea monkeys @ Catalogue of Organisms
