Ah yes, the Ceratioidei, fascinating and fun to say. I did a vertebrate zoology project on those once. I didn't know about the offspring eating their way out of the mother's body. What's your source for that information?

A marine ecology lecture we did a couple of weeks ago :) dont remember much else than that
Do you remember who gave the lecture? I should figure out what I did with my copy of Pietsch's monograph and try looking that up. Oh, I wish I could post links on here. Someone e-mailed me a link to a video with the most beautiful anglerfish I've ever seen. It had long bioluminescent threads fanned out all around it. Soooo pretty!

Excellent. I'll look him up when I get back from my walk tonight. Thank you. :)

I gave a presentation on sex determination in fruit flies once, so my search history had similar weirdness:D

Here's a little microbiology for your Friday:
E. coli have 2 types of protein pores ("porins") in their outer membrane that they can express:
-a wider one which is expressed outside of a host
-and a narrower one which is expressed at host body temperature (eg. human - 37 degrees C, or whatever the farenheit is :p)
Because the one expressed at body temp is narrower, it prevents the uptake of antibiotics and bile salts (aka stuff that would kill it).
Good for the E. coli... not so good for us. Devious devious microbes...:geek:
