  1. 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

  6. Tiny #limpet reveals big secrets of the deep sea phys.org/news/2025-11-depths-d paper: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10

    "P. nautilus is part of a rare group of #limpets that make their homes on wood falls—tree trunks and branches that settle on the seafloor.... the presence of individuals of many different sizes indicates the #WoodFall supported multiple generations, suggesting that even tiny islands of habitat can sustain #DeepSea communities long enough for population turnover and dispersal"

  10. 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.

    Photos 2 & 3 also show how much the sand / pebble layer cycle has shifted.

  28. 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.

  33. 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. Soldiers Beach, NSW, Australia
