Скачать или смотреть Remembering Cephalopod Expert Dr Roy Caldwell | TONMO Octopodcast Ep26

In this brief episode of the TONMO Octopodcast (Episode 26), we remember Dr. Roy Caldwell (Neogonodactylus on TONMO), the world's leading expert on mantis shrimp and a longtime pillar of the cephalopod community.

A UC Berkeley professor emeritus, Roy joined TONMO in 2003, served as a moderator, and contributed over 650 posts on species ID, behavior, rare photos, and more until stepping back in 2020 due to health issues. He passed away in December 2025.

He bridged science and hobbyists, helped shape TONMO's ethics statement, collaborated on the larger Pacific striped octopus with Richard Ross, and shared invaluable knowledge generously.

The episode includes a lot of excellent photos showcasing his work.
