Snakelocks sea anemones point their tentacles, packed with symbiotic algae, toward the sun so their lodgers can photosynthesize and now @Venky_MVN & co have discovered that photosynthesis by the algae guides their host's tentacles towards the sun https://t.co/vQfe8hLA8X

Crazy ctenophore stuff 😲
Our latest paper is out @CurrentBiology ! About #ctenophore fusion!! Fused ctenos synchronized muscle contractions and shared their digestive canal! @AnttonenTommi @maruca221

Hey scientific tweeter, check out our new preprint on the secretoryy cells in #Trichoplax. We matched single cell RNAseq data with the real cells in Trichoplax body. Now we know that there are more than one mucocyte type in Trichoplax! Here is the link

Placozoa are millimeter-sized, flat, irregularly shaped ciliated animals that crawl on surfaces in warm oceans feeding on biofilms, which they digest externally. They stand out from other animals due...
