It's a very prehistoric Easter

Hey there! I've been trying to make time for a little more arty activity lately-- much easier to do in Sydney, possibly due to the glorious proliferation of life-drawing nights. In the interest of getting back in the habit of watercolor species portraits, have some soldierfish:

I love the expression of CONSTANT HORROR on these fish. I mean, all actinopts kind of have that, but especially the holocentrids.

Also: a recent visit from beloved Berkeley labmate Steve and his lovely family. Steve's kids have been my primary excuse to draw, watercolor, face-paint, make puzzles, and concoct extravagant kid jewelry for the last... seven? years, a service for which I remain profoundly grateful. This year's totally inappropriate craft activity: EASTER EGGS.

Life drawing, nerdery, a move on the horizon

another russian diaspora, art, nerdery

]

Hello, cavernous, echoing vault of LJ! Here's some new art, and a question for the remaining two or three of you in the audience.

First, arts: New life drawings, even a lady with some heft, the best kind.

Secondly, whilst moving the last of my towering folder piles to a new office, I unearthed some unused cartoons I did for my bought-but-sadly-unpublished Cartoon Guide to Evolution, which frankly would have been an awesome book. I don't entirely recall the context of the giant squid getting an eye exam, to be honest.

These guys would have made a fun alphabet. I bet some nerd on Etsy has beaten me to it, tho.

From a chapter on common misconceptions:

SO, MOVING TIME:
This LJ is likely to disappear pretty soon!
This is because, a mere three years after I finished grad school and moved away from Berkeley, the good IT folks at nature.berkeley.edu are finally getting around to clearing up space on their server, which has been my go-to image host for the last... 6? years. Thus, most of the pre-2009 pictures here are soon going to turn into sad broken JPGs. (and frankly, there has been more Polish comment spam than I was really looking for in a blogging service.)

This seems like a good point to move on to a cleaner, better-lit corner of the blogosphere, probably a standalone blog on trufflebeetles.com; my question to you: which one? I'd like to be able to intersperse images with at least roughly formatted text, so not Google+ or the twitters (tho I am in both of those places anyway). It would be great to have a working comment system and perhaps even an RSS feed, though twitter seems to have taken the place of the latter for a lot of folks. So: Tumblr? Wordpress? An alternative of which I am as yet unaware?

Long time no post! Busy times, as usual. I've been rerouting a lot of art straight to Google+ (which is infinitely less spammy than ol' LJ), but its beastly image compression means B/W art will still be happier here.

Last week I and the other ANICists returned from the annual Aus Ent Soc/ NZ Ent Soc meeting in Lincoln, NZ, just south of still-rubbled Christchurch. As has become a tradition, I sketched speakers at the meeting during their respective talks. Here's the first half of them, click for high-res. That is Steve Trewick riding the weta.

america, beetles, say it with rutelines

]

Compatriots! In marginally belated honor of the Glorious Fourth, I took a moment out of beetle photography to assemble a patriotically coleopterous montage. Also available in desktop size, if anyone wants a thing like that.

Here are the constituent beetles, should you wish to assemble your own beetleflag (and live in France, Australia, the UK, Canada, etc etc). The red and blue rutelines derive their structural colours from chitinous multilayer reflectors in the exocuticle, while the white melolonthine gets its dazzling white from a microscopic, quasi-ordered matrix of light-scattering filaments inside each of its tiny scales.

America! Land of the free, home of the absolutely horrifying healthcare policy, unemployment, etc. I miss the mountains and the people, at least. I hope you are all appropriately crammed with hot dogs by now. *salute*

LADYBIRD LINK ROUNDUP

coccinellidae, cucu for cucujoids, ladybirds

]

Hey, everybody! As some of you may have noticed, our research on ladybugs (to which I am contractually obligated to refer as "ladybirds") is not only out in MPE, but also the subject of a CSIRO media release. It's been picked up around the internets, thus far mainly in Australia:

Science Illustrated

Science Daily

Cosmos Magazine (Carl? Is that you?)

Science Alert

"Seed Daily"

... but if you are/ know a science journalist in the US who is fond of the ento beat, I encourage you to check out the press release. Of course, none of this could have been done without the astonishingly thorough groundwork laid by my coauthor and (former) postdoc supervisor, Adam. Here's his amazingly gorgeous and functional Australian ladybird compendium. Check out the morphology browser-- it's the best online resource I've ever seen for beetle anatomy, cucujoid or otherwise.

At present we have absolutely no plans for a photoshoot; this may change if someone can supply me with 200,000 microweisine coccinellids.

Convergent evolution in action	[Jun. 1st, 2011\|03:15 pm] americanbeetles
Shameful lunchtime web-surfing brings us news, via baby-animal blog "Zooborns," that infant spider monkeys possess a dorsal coat of erect silver pubescence and large, paired anterior ocelli. ... which is virtually identical to the phenotype of the velvet "ant" (secretly a wasp) Dasymutilla gloriosa. Mutillids: Image credits: flickr; Alex Wild. What do you think, is this an example of parallel solutions to a similar suite of environmental constraints? Also, someone tell me if baby monkeys learn how to sting, so I can just stay in Australia forever.

Back to brown paper, my favorite medium. I was so happy with how the Daphnia and Volvox turned out, I decided to try a little Stentorness.

BEHOLD STENTOR

... with bonus otters.

Bugsplosion! Part of a pop-up card for a birthday at work; all species shown are subjects of research here.

Under the cut: Best of Feb-March-April life drawing, rollergirls, and sketches from the Louvre and Musée D'Orsay last week.

fondant crimes, insects, pastry

I have some fun beetle news coming out soon, but in the meantime, SUGAR ART. I crafted the following in a buttery whirlwind of activity back in February, and finally have time to post 'em up here.

Delicious shortbread "card" for beloved lab manager Little Cate, who is (I believe) still sequencing termites. This is both the most appetizing and the most biologically accurate cookie I have ever created.

Speaking of sequencing, there were also nucleotides. Note that, in accordance with known patterns of insect mitochondrial DNA evolution, this cookie selection is significantly AT-rich.

Native Australian cake toppers for a party full of biologists. After determining that fondant is horrendously foul, I sculpted these guys out of sugar paste (and food dye). End result: still tasted foul. :/

No Australian dessert would be complete without something deadly venomous! This guy's my favorite.
