Today was the day i finally started researching for science... i think.
I had to identify each species that my advisor managed to find on a beach.
They were collected in a beach which had rocks, on low tide, so some of the species collected were actually common from reefs.
I went from the crabs first, because I thought they were the easiest ones to identify... boy i was wrong, just the brachyura identification of the coast of brazil had basically 800 pages, but this big one here was actually easier to id, because, for one, because of the slippers on their backs, they are surely what the brazilians call a "siri", so from the family Portunidae, to get the actual genre and species was a little bit tricky, basically, the males from the genre Callinectes have their telson in a T form (the book is very vague about what the hell is a T, but its their telson), you had to see little spikes they have around the eyes to determine the species, its probably a Callinectes danae
its not their penice s btw,,,
these are pistol shrimps, one of them had eggs with them, i'll have to study some Alpheidae (pistol shrimp superfamily) identifications so i can ID these ones.
The other ones were 2 Carcinus maenas and a bunch of Clibanarius crabs, that i won't show cuz they're pretty gory, because they were stuck in their shells and i had nothing to break the shells, so i had to yank them out (worst part of doing ids with crustaceans).
also was a pain in the ass to look cleary throught the lenses of the macroscope, so i made a sketch based on what happened
thats it....

18.07.24 - Young Darwin Scholarship Day 4
The bulk of today was devoted to rocky shores. We went to East Prawle where we were going to lay quadrats and collect data on the species present at the various coastal zones but as the data software wasn’t working we just explored. I couldn’t take in much information because my pain has been getting worse, I’ve been getting more and more tired and it’s been harder to think clearly, so this post will mainly just be brief descriptions of some of the things I saw and photographed.
1-2. A male European Green Crab (Carcinus maenas)
3. A lot of different seaweeds. Important information is that they are not plants and some of them, such as red seaweed, parasitise each other which is interesting. I can’t remember which species it is but one of them has bulges that look like air sacks but are in fact filled with reproductive material (I guess semen would be the closest analogue). Others do have air sacks.
4. Some sponges of which I don’t know the species - genetically and evolutionarily the closest relative of humans that can be found in a rock pool.
5. Beaded Anemone (Actinia equina)
6. Snakelocks Anemone (Anemonia viridis)
7. The ornate underside of a Cushion Star (Culcita novaeguineae)
8. Rockpool Shrimp (Palaemon elegans)
9. A Grey Seal (Halichoerus grypus) observed from a distance (getting too close stresses seals significantly). This was an interesting find. We didn’t see seals when we were purposely seeking them out on yesterday’s boat trip but we saw one today and the Grey Seal, with it’s characteristic long snout, is more rare on our coastlines than the Common Seal.
10. An out-of-focus Glow-Worm (Lampyris noctiluca), curiously not a worm but a beetle. There were several in the verges between the beach and field centre after we returned from our final evening campfire. We also detected bats on our bat detectors and saw them flying around, possibly Daubenton’s (Myotis daubentonii) as a population nests by the bridge. We also took one last chance to try and spot otters. At one point in the gloom I saw some large ripples and what appeared to be a dark shape but I don’t know if my eyes were playing tricks on me.
