#InverteFest you say?! I absolutely loved filming 6- and 8-legged creatures for this @HakaiInstitute series. This episode features bristletails (a personal fav), barnacle flies, and snout mites! https://t.co/zKvzosiZEX

In a recent study, @LinseyHaram et al found that coastal marine species can survive & reproduce in the open ocean. The next step is to learn how #MarineDebris can be a vector for new #bioinvasions. Researchers set to discuss this global issue at #ICMBXI!๐ https://t.co/YqkA0adWqX

Our latest research shows that coastal species can survive and reproduce on plastic debris afloat in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, with as yet unknown consequences for species naturally living on the high seas. https://t.co/J85kMMMwAL
