#mollusks — Public Fediverse posts

The snail. The myth. The legend.

Silliness aside, I found a cool #snail while out on a walk today. Actually I'm not sure what snails do with one foot; "walking" seems the wrong word. Ambulating.

Let's say we were both ambulating and leave it there.

Custom Designer Shell

FUN FACT: A snails shell is made out of calcium carbonate. Their shells are made in two layers one layer running horizontally and the other vertically. These layers provides strength to the shell.

Found this little guy roaming and hanging out. Brown Garden Snail

FUN FACT: Garden Snails Have both male and female reproductive parts (Asexual).

It can take up to 33 hours for a snail to move a mile.

(16 Apr) Elusive colossal squid finally caught on camera 100 years after discovery in world 1st footage — and it’s tiny

A colossal squid has been filmed in its natural habitat for the first time ever, a century after it was first identified by scientists.

'Extinct' #snails found breeding in French Polynesia following a successful reintroduction project https://phys.org/news/2024-09-extinct-snails-french-polynesia-successful.html

"A species of tropical tree #snail is no longer #extinct in the wild following a successful #reintroduction project... for the first time in 40 years, #conservationists have found born-in-the-wild adult Partula tohiveana—meaning the precious #mollusks have successfully established themselves in #FrenchPolynesia."

Researchers uncover 500 million-year-old #mollusk ancestor https://phys.org/news/2024-08-uncover-million-year-mollusk-ancestor.html

A #Cambrian spiny stem mollusk and the deep homology of lophotrochozoan scleritomes https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.ado0059

The new #fossil, called Shishania aculeata, reveals that the most primitive #mollusks were flat, shell-less slugs covered in a protective spiny armor.

"scientists observed 160 species on the Salas y Gómez Ridge that had not yet been known in the region and suspect that at least 50 of them are new to science. These are #squid, #fish, #corals, #mollusks, #SeaStars, glass #sponges, #SeaUrchins, crabs, and squat #lobsters, amongst others. They set a record for sighting the deepest-known #photosynthesis-dependent animal in the world: #Leptoseris, a wrinkle #coral."

Unraveling the mystery of #chiton visual systems https://news.ucsb.edu/2024/021384/unraveling-mystery-chiton-visual-systems

A morphological basis for path-dependent #evolution of visual systems: Rebecca Varney et al. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adg2689

"You’d probably walk past a chiton without seeing it. These creatures often look like nothing more than another speck of seaweed. But it sees you. At least, if it’s one of the species with eyes dotting its platemail shell... some of these tough #mollusks sport the most recently evolved eyes with a lens"

Volcanos, vents, and creatures of the deep, oh my (Part 2) https://ndsf.whoi.edu/volcanos-vents-and-creatures-of-the-deep-2/

"On the descent, the surface #ocean teems with gelatinous and soft-bodied #animals: #squid and #jellyfish undulating in and out of view. The #seafloor has a cast of characters: silvery rattail #fish trailing the vehicle, spider #crabs climbing into the basket, Dumbo #octopuses making appearances. And of course, the #worms, #mollusks, and #BacterialMats that thrive near vent systems."
