Brave's search AI is sensitive to the order of words in a query: what is the iqtree2 -p option = Success what is the -p option in iqtree2 = Fail Of possible note - the order of words that worked is similar to the order of words on the command line / in code.

Dendraster excentricus 1-day juvenile - with adult sand used to induce metamorphosis from a swimming pluteus larva yesterday. Tube feet for walking and spines for protection - speed is 4x. Sand dollars and sea urchins are closely-related - you can see it in the young juveniles.

Echinoderm echinoid Dendraster excentricus sand dollars! 11-day old larvae competent for settlement and metamorphosis - and mid-metamorphosis juveniles with larval arms still present - and skeletal rods poking out! I was pipetting them and they stuck themselves to the glass with their tube feet.

Pteropod gastropod mollusc - the sea angel Clione limacina! Collected off the UW FHL docks today. A tiny one - slightly bigger than a grain of rice. Imaging on a microscope is tough - lighting and movement are challenges - need to develop a rig for swimming zooplankton / small pelagic animals!

Crustacean larva! Scooped up off the floating dock at UW FHL marine field station today. So much structural engineering. Great transparency! 1-2 inches ? It collapsed the legs to form a trailing tail when swimming - little nubbin body at the front.
