Our paper on convergent evolution of land crabs is out in its final final form. The journal didn't pick my image as the cover, so I'm sharing it here because it must be seen!

In its final form.
False. Your paper does not yet have the shape of a crab, it has barely begun the process of carcinization
obviously, the conclusion here is that when the highly intelligent species--currently hiding in the oceans--come to colonize the freshwater rivers and land, they will emerge onto the landscape in giant crab-like exoskeletons and vehicles, using powerful their claws to dispatch threats and their adapative limbs to maneuver easily across our complex built environments and barriers.
we should also expect some of these crab-like piloted vehicles to be hundreds of meters tall, housing thousands of smaller crab-like exoskeletons to deploy, making resistance to our new crab overlords pointless.
That's too much convergence. Put some back.
For a second I thought the teal blue one on the right was carrying a knife.

Sometimes you become an otter or a type of deer

Beautiful figure 
From one academic to another congratulations and fuck you 
Evolve to crab
