Some #UnsolicitedNoods coming at you hot and ready, as the gods intended. Cheers friends.

Been a while since I had a bowl of #ramen, an overdue treat. This bowl of #NongShim Spicy Seafood noodles, less 1/3 of the brick, featured a bunch of shredded #cabbage, #scallions, #mussels, #sardines, #kelp, #radishes, and #cilantro.

Noodly goodness, I left you for too long. Never again.

Investigating the remarkable reproductive cycle of #Michigan's threatened #mollusks https://phys.org/news/2024-05-qa-remarkable-reproductive-michigan-threatened.html

Polymorphism in the aggressive #mimicry lure of the parasitic freshwater #mussel #Lampsilis fasciola https://peerj.com/articles/17359/

"the freshwater #mussels' remarkable reproductive cycle includes the use of fleshy 'mantle lures' by pregnant females to attract nearby #fish and infect them with mussel #larvae."

The #insertAnInvert2024 prompt this week is epifauna, or animals that live on top of sediment by cementing or attaching their shells onto rock using filaments. I chose 2 blue mussels. The blue mussel (Mytilus edulis), or common mussel, is a medium-sized edible marine bivalve mollusc in the family Mytilidae. They are aptly called common mussels & are found on temperate beaches worldwide. They are also yummy.

Dynamic bio-interface between mussel tissue and byssus plays important role in quick release https://phys.org/news/2023-11-dynamic-bio-interface-mussel-tissue-byssus.html

A strong quick-release #biointerface in mussels mediated by serotonergic cilia-based adhesion https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adi7401

"#Mussels use #byssus threads (known commonly as a beard) to attach themselves to solid objects such as rocks. The #mussel byssus has been extensively studied due to their unique ability to connect nonliving material to living tissue and to disconnect on demand."

#Mussels are important in #freshwater #ecosystems because they filter the water and remove #algae. As filter feeders they’re exposed to everything in the water, and this makes them a valuable indicator of #ecosystem health. #Mussel shells also provide places for other #aquatic species to live.
