ππ»ββοΈ TIL: ππ₯¬ Banana #slugs (genus Ariolimax) move only 16.5 cm per minute across their slime, yet serve as important #forest decomposers in Californiaβs #Redwood National Park and #GoldenGate National Recreation Area.
A close-up #video shows one munching greens using its radula, a tongue-like part armed with roughly 25,000 tiny teeth. The #PacificNorthwest #mollusks are also hermaphrodites and #Californiaβs official state slug.

520-Million-Year-Old Fossil Fills Gap in Evolutionary History of Cephalopods https://www.sci.news/paleontology/eoceras-shaanxiense-14958.html
Earliest siphuncle-bearing cephalopod from the early #Cambrian https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-026-10868-y
"Chambered shells regulated buoyancy through structures such as septa and, crucially, the siphuncle, a tube that could be filled with water or gas and is considered one of the defining innovations separating #cephalopods from other #mollusks."

ππ»ββοΈ TIL: π¦ͺπ‘οΈ A #Stanford led study explains why #clams and #snails dominate modern shorelines while #brachiopods barely survived the #GreatDying.
Researchers measured #oxygen consumption in living #animals to show that slower metabolisms could not cope with warming, oxygen depleted waters 252 million years ago. The authors warn that todayβs warming #oceans could trigger a similar ecological shift.

Their goethite nanofiber #protein composite can withstand pressures comparable to turning #carbon into #diamond and could inspire synthetic materials.

(Posting in my personal capacity.) Journalist Steve Baragona was so invested in shooting
river-cleaning #mussels that he ended up falling into the mud. Donβt worry! He is fine and our story about these important #mollusks is coming out later this week. Stayed tuned! We cover #environment and #science . Follow us on social media platforms. -
