DOSI Deep-Sea Round-Up

17 February 2022

The swimming sea cucumber Enypniastes eximia, sometimes referred to as the “headless chicken monster,” is a widespread species in the abyss. This one was seen off Puerto Rico in 2018. Google searches for this curious creature spiked in December following Diva Amon and Will Smith’s encounter with one in the streaming series “Welcome to Earth.” Image courtesy of the NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration and Research, Exploring Deep-sea Habitats off Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

This week the Deep-Sea Round-Up is taking a journey through the mesopelagic, with three different articles focusing on its fascinating communities. We’re also featuring papers on the life that dwells under the Ross Ice Shelf, a challenge to the idea of “ocean health,” and virtual reality deep-sea experiences.

Events in this Round-Up include a series of deep-sea lightning talks at the Seattle Aquarium, a host of new seminars, and an ISA art competition. Then it’s on to Opportunities, where you can find a chance to become a National Geographic Explorer. We also highlight the new “FindAScienceBerth” project for those looking for chances to conduct research at sea in the future. Plus, don’t miss a chance to submit a manuscript to MDPI’s “Diversity” journal for a special issue on deep Atlantic biodiversity.

Finally, if you need some more Valentine’s Day spirit, make sure to scroll to the end of the Round-Up where we feature an episode of the Deep-Sea Podcast that’s all about love.
