Sexual Parasitism in Deep Sea Anglerfish

In response to the perilous and opportunistic conditions of the deep sea, some deep sea anglerfish have evolved a very specialised method of reproduction - sexual parasitism.

Due to the fact that individuals of a species are locally rare, encounters between a male a female are very uncommon. As such, when they eventually meet, the fish employ a unique mating method that will ensure that they never separate again.

The fish display extreme sexual dimorphism, with males being many times smaller than females. The method by which a male finds a female differs across different species, but can involve sight or pheromone cues.

When a male anglerfish encounters a female, he latches onto her body with his mouth. He then releases enzymes that digests the skin of his mouth and her body, which fuses the pair down to the blood vessel level.

The male becomes a parasite, surviving solely on the nourishment provided by the female via their linked circulatory systems. In return, he provides sperm for the female. Eventually, his body atrophies until only the gonads are left.

Sexual parasitism benefits both the males and females. For the females, it ensures that there is an immediate source of sperm as soon as she is ready to spawn. The males, being much smaller and less adapted for survive, are much more likely to sire offspring attached to a female than if they were to live a solitary life.

i often think of you

"And at some time—noticeably on the second ferry—
she begins to have stomach-turning doubts about the whole
business.
I often think of you
I think of you often
That is only the sort of thing people say to be
comforting, or out of a mild desire to keep somebody on
the string." (Alice Munro - Chance)

the benefit of the doubt

there is none.

so grateful

scrisoarea pe care am gasit-o azi dimineata, in ploaie, in fata usii de la birou (fusese lipita cu scoci, undeva), fara nici o adresa pe ea. asa ca am zis ca era (like zizek said) pentru mine, de fapt:

" Dad,
Thank you so much for your generosity. I used the initial check you gave us to pay for my dress and veil. Jonathan is using the 2500$ you sent us to pay for our hotel accomodations in Costa Rica! We are so grateful for your generosity. And, I am eternally grateful for your guidance and support during some really dark days and your continued support/ guidance now that my days are much brighter.
I love you, always,
Natasha"

a very regular life

”Calmly Fanny had rejected his proposal, not unkindly, simply demonstrating that she was better off as she was. She did not speak as if she had a lover, nor did he suspect her of living an irregular life.”
