Dear star-addicts,
Consider this the end of the Star Wars!
This is indeed end of the show. No more keeping up with the Stardashians; no more cannibalism; no more weird jokes (after this post, lol).
We are as devastated as you are, but at least we will be getting some more hours of sleep and we are more than grateful for this experience and all the friends we have made on the way, (specially those five-armed-sticky-aliens, aka sea stars).
For you to feel a little bit better, we leave you with our most shocking results:
Indeed our sea-rebels showed clear activity peaks around dawn and dusk ! During sunrise and sunset is apparently also the occasion to get high, as a lot of our starfish were found wandering on the edge of the water surface at those time, while preferring the bottom during day and nights. Aaand, voilá, these party animals seem to prefer the good nightlife. (Actually, we have no clear evidence that they go partying, it just happens to be the time they hunt. But, hey, we have to add some sugah in da blog).
We leave very tiredly but proudly, since we feel like we have made some proper history; demonstrating diurnal cycles affect the movement patterns of our fantastic Asterias rubens.
As in good productions, all animals were treated well -at least by us- and were safely released to the intertidal shore where they were found. However, we can not ensure they won’t start eating each other again. Let’s just cross our fingers.
We hope you’ve enjoyed our incredible trip through the Swedish intertidal zone as much as we did. Even though you won't be able to enjoy any spicy posts, we leave you with this beautiful Swedish landscape to stare at in you moments of despair.
