Did you know that some research believes that #ancient #Europeans regularly ate #seaweed?

#Aquatic #plant eating is often connected to Asia. But in 2023, researchers found evidence of widespread consumption of seaweed during the transitional years between hunter-gather culture & farming.

What's more is that Europeans kept eating seaweed into the early #MiddleAges - perhaps recognising its nutritional value.

Why have aquatic foods been lost in western diets?

Good question.

Cambarus pecki, the Phantom Cave Crayfish. Fitting name for Halloween month, yes?

It was formerly in a different genus based on morphology, but molecular evidence moved it to Cambarus. Convergent evolution is interesting!

They are considered G1, or "Critically Imperiled" (NatureServe). It is only known to live in just three cave sites. All photography and research done with appropriate government permits.

Can I call this #arachtober even though it's just an arthopod, not in arachnida? haha
