  1. everyone has heard of the Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus, a joke made up for a poorly-thought out survey of what 1990s people believed on the internet, but somehow nobody has heard of the Mangrove Jingle Shell Clam, a real and amazing animal I learned about from @KateShaw

    hopefully Dr. Dan Killam @dantheclamman can provide us all with more information on this animal.

  2. Quahogs are VERY long-lived clams. This wise one was born 100 years before Shakespeare. Cherish them.

    If you eat them, venerate their little clam bodies first.

  4. NEWS FLASH: We have CLAMS living on campus!

    As part of last week's Sustainability Week at #LincolnUniversityNZ, our freshwater ecology tutor Elysia Harcombe did some kick sampling along a farm ditch. Yes, she found clams!

    It's the first record on #iNaturalist of clams on campus, or anywhere in Lincoln (and we've been kick sampling in the Liffey Stream through Lincoln for several years in my biodiversity class).

    There are records of some clams living in the Yarrs Lagoon wetland reserve to the south of campus, but that's about 3 km to the south (which is downstream and is not connected to campus).

  5. Run-time reflexion in C++26... Wow, i was expecting that since 2004. That's one of the reasons we meta-programmed Dynamic Types in CLAM.

    Ancient golden #silk revived from the Korean sea
    #SeaSilk—often referred to as the “golden fiber of the sea”—was one of the most prized materials in the ancient #Roman period, used exclusively by figures of high authority such as emperors and popes. This precious fiber is made from the #byssus threads secreted by #PinnaNobilis, a large #clam native to the #Mediterranean,

  7. I took my brother and friends to #Netarts #Bay, #Oregon for some butter #clamming yesterday evening, the three clammers (two just learned) among us got our limits of 20 each! it took a long time for me to clean my limit 😵 butter #clams are great in the #shell seasoned with garlic salt and butter on a grill or in an oven, and this #clam in particular is delicious in a #clamchowder! #PNW #OregonCoast #coast #Tillamook #sandbarsaturday #beach #outdoors #shellfish

  8. A #clam presumed #extinct for 40,000 years has been found alive sciencenews.org/article/clam-p

    A #fossil species found living off southern #California, with notes on the genus Cymatioa (#Mollusca#Bivalvia, Galeommatoidea) zookeys.pensoft.net/article/95

    The researchers still puzzle over how the critters eluded #science for so long. One idea is that C. cooki’s preferred habitat is farther south, perhaps in a remote area. A mass of warm water may have washed some clam #larvae toward #SantaBarbara.
