gome — worst shape

In Wednesday’s post, I wrote that I enjoy learning about geometry on Wikipedia, and about a very nice shape that I found there, the rhombic dodecahedron. Another thing I enjoy doing from time to time is hunting for the most messed-up, the most wicked, the most cursed shapes possible. So let’s explore some of the worst shapes I’ve found together.

Bluebottles are no longer one species … they’re four!

A couple months ago, a new scientific paper shared evidence that bluebottles (widely known as Portuguese Man O’ Wars) are four different species rather than one global species. About 4,000 images from iNaturalist observations supported this research. We got in touch with Thomas Mesaglio (@thebeachcomber) and Samuel Church (@shchurch) to hear more about this story of how community-sourced data informs research — and how the research can then spark new projects for the community. Physalia physalis by @rileyleff Bluebottles — also often called Portuguese Man o’ Wars (Physalia physalis) — are remarkable creatures. Especially cool: each bluebottle isn’t a single organism, but instead colonies of teeny tiny animals called zooids, specialized to function and live together in this larger form. Bluebottle zooids hang down from a gas-filled chamber (called a pneumatophore) that has a sail-like structure on it. Depending on where the zooids hang and which way the sail faces, the wind can pro…
