Meeting a water bear. 🌱

Basically wishing I could make myself tiny and get lost in some moss. So much beauty in little drops of water.

I guess I'm really into rotifers now.

Sweet Notes went to look at a festival of light art at Battersea Power Station, so September is a month of celebrating that!

In London, England.

earth fact time. bdelloid rotifers are the original ace girlbosses. every single bdelloid rotifer ever found has been female. if male bdelloid rotifers exist, scientists haven't found any of them yet. they reproduce by essentially cloning themselves and producing daughters that are genetically identical to them. they're the oldest organisms known to reproduce asexually and they're found in freshwater habitats all over the world!

just my favorite paragraph from this post about bdelloid rotifera:

[text in photo: "Virgin birth doesn’t go out of style, not because of its purity, but, paradoxically, because of its proximity to shit and impurity. It turns out a really successful virgin is a parthenogenic pirate, a shit-eater, a genomic Frankenstein."]

💕Happy late valentines/ace week!!! 💕

This piece is a celebration of animals that can reproduce asexually in various ways. Under the readmore you can find a key to the species included and some information about how they reproduce.

These are very simplified definitions, if you're interested in this stuff definitely do more research and reading! The intricate details are really fascinating and specific to each animal- plants are even crazier!

Budding: a new individual develops then detaches from the parent when mature

Fragmentation: a new individual grows from a detached piece of the parent organism

Parthenogenesis: a new individual forms from an unfertilized egg

Facultative Parthenogenesis: the organism can reproduce sexually and/or asexually

Obligate Parthenogenesis: the organism can only reproduce through parthenogenesis

Gynogenesis: a form of obligate parthenogenesis that requires the presence of sperm without any actual genetic contribution

Taxonomy Tournament: Spiralia

Bryozoa. This phylum is made up of tiny aquatic invertibrates that mostly live in sedentary colonies

Rotifer. This phylum is made up of microscopic aquatic animals with a cilliated corona sourrounding the mouth

Rotifers are so weird and I was glad to learn about their existence. Their name mean "wheel bearer" due to their unusal mouths and they feed by creating a current that sucks food into the mouth for processing. Made sense to me to slap some saw blades on that bad boy and create a pokemon. Spinjaw have highly developed and powerful spinning mouthparts that can spin with enough force to draw food items in. Although they subsist on smaller prey, their formidable saws are capable of processing anything into small enough particles to eat. They have seen use in production and construction but their simple lifestyles are not suited to complicated work. Sawmaw have developed their formidable blades even further and their stronger leg allows them to hop towards prey in a more unexpected lunge. More interested in larger prey it can nevertheless be hard to pin down as the sound of their jaws at work is enough to startle most creatures before they can attempt an ambush. --Attack Info-- --Ability Info--

Bdelloid rotifer eating

This little animal uses its ciliae rings to aspire water, then it grinds it with its mastax organ. It mostly eats organic detritus and other microorganisms.
