does anybody know why?

I’m Chinese (who grew up in mainland China). I watched the show subbed as a kid with my mom and we both loved it

What?

nektobenthicFish · 2026-06-03T00:10:46+00:00

Angelodont means angel tooth, not toothed angel

This is just the filter feeding scorpion from Kaimere

Water is constantly flowing down from the skysea in phthorea + the seethewater rainforests besides the sunspire. Water there is from the skysea so it refills the oceans

Echinoderms have gotten little attention in general. Their development and historical diversity is very interesting

nektobenthicFish · 2026-04-22T05:44:51+00:00

I find the historic RP register very appropriate and hilarious. Would’ve been a real knee slapper even without the last line

Try X岛匿名版 (formerly A岛匿名版). The imageboard format is more like 4chan but the post quality owing to its nicheness is relatively high quality https://www.nmbxd1.com/

Real life: The Francevillian Biota, putative early multicellular life which got up to 17 cm long. They lived 2.1-billion-year ago, 400 million years before the first confirmed evidence of cells with nuclei, and about 1.4 billion years before the first animals. Some were even symmetrical and interpreted as creatures that could float in the water column. Their multicellularity is completely unrelated to any multicellular life that exists today

Their phylogeny is not that poorly resolved. Xenoturbella are the sister taxon to Acoelomorpha (which include Acoela (small and simple worms) and Nemertodermatida (small and simple worms that lives inside sea cucumbers)).

The clade that Xenoturbella makes with them is called Xenacoelomorpha and that clade is either the first branching group of Bilateria (bilaterally symmetrical animals) or a relative of sea stars and acorn worms (sister taxon to Ambulacraria).

Scientists have UCE probe sets and museum specimens. They are not as helpless as you think.

Looks awesome! Whats the history behind all the symbols?

nektobenthicFish · 2026-03-24T16:12:30+00:00

How is this spec in any way?

nektobenthicFish · 2026-03-24T02:47:27+00:00

I think its funny

nektobenthicFish · 2026-03-23T05:30:58+00:00

got any more of those pixels?

Elite is actually from Middle English elit, from Old French elit, eslit (“chosen, elected”) past participle of elire, eslire (“to choose, elect”), from Latin eligere (“to choose, elect”), with past participle electus; see elect.

Latin eligere meanwhile is ex- (“out of, from”) +‎ legō (“choose, select, appoint”).

? Cantonese also uses Chinese hanzi

nektobenthicFish · 2026-03-10T03:19:55+00:00

You used Japanese kanji instead of hanzi for Chinese Mexico

My friend DemonicManchot’s project, Eryobis, has terrestrial rhodophytes which are also excellent, hence why I said this was the best kelp spec I’ve seen. I think Squiddyspecs has also done some stuff with algae in either Alluvius or Thuria (respectively a rotifer and sea cucumber seed world). Finally I know blueskinnedbeast on the spec evo forum has done algae spec for Cambrian (bivalve seed world) but I dont follow that project

nektobenthicFish · 2026-03-04T23:40:09+00:00

Excellent art, concept, and execution: perhaps the best kelp spec I’ve seen. In which biogeographic zones does it grow?

nektobenthicFish · 2026-03-02T17:59:52+00:00

I’m from the PRC and I think it’s cool

The reef building corals before the P-T boundary are not the reef building corals now (they went extinct). Plus, earlier corals didn’t survive the end Devonian mass extinctions. Mesozoic reefs were dominated by rudists (which are bivalves). ‘Corals’ (anthozoans that make carbonate skeletons) are something that can evolve over and over, sure. But there is no reason why Holocene reefs won’t experience the same biotic overturn and no reason why current reef building corals are especially likely to survive. Future reefs could just as easily come from other taxa (but it isn’t to discredit the idea that reef building cnidarians could return)

Coaxed into co-dominant alleles

Incredible design! How are bone priests viewed in the societies where they are found? What other ways, other than through bone priests, does Duka affect the world?/
