La rádula es una "lengua con dientes" de la mayoría de los moluscos, con los que raspan su alimento. Estas pertenecen a una lapa y son extremadamente resistentes gracias a la presencia de goetita. Con Las hileras de cientos de dientes, arañan las rocas, dejando marca, para alimentarse de las algas. 📷Michael Crutchley #lapas #limpets

Microphotograph of a limpet's teeth
Remember how strong spider silk is? Turns out, another biomaterial beats it: limpet teeth! These mollusks use a radula—a tongue-like protrusion with tiny teeth—to scrape algae off rocks.

As the world warms, animals living near the coast are facing stronger storms, rising seas, and extreme temperatures. While many can swim, fly, or scuttle away, some marine creatures can barely move, let alone make a speedy escape.

Neptune's necklace in rock pools and on rocky shorelines. There are other crustaceans.
Limpets - They have an oval shaped shell, usually with a peak near the centre. During high tide they move about and graze on algae returning to the same place when the tide falls and sealing themselves tightly against the rock to conserve moisture.

Flying the flag for #limpets at #ITRS2023. Been looking forward to presenting this poster (styled in #MontyPython #LifeOfBrian) at a proper in-person conference.
