Gosh, you mean it's not these bloody bats, nuisance newts, and maddening, 'microscopic' molluscs, after all?

This, too, is ornamental wildlife trade. And at a time when ocean acidification is putting shelled molluscs at risk by causing shell dissolution, these ancient animals really don’t need this added threat.

Hornbeams often have many Pertusaria sp. lichen on them; here P. pertusa, Lepra (formerly Pertusaria) amara, and Pertusaria leioplaca. Terrestrial molluscs love eating the apothecia of Pertusaria sp. in Sussex. L. leioplaca seems their favourite; it must be their caviar. #lichenGBI Ancient woodland

Are These Clams Key to Climate Adaptation? - The Contrapuntal
Shipworms are touted as tomorrow’s superfood and miracle medicine. But the story of these tiny molluscs illustrates an intricate ecological complexity that flashy green solutions often ignore.

Here's a pile of oyster shells on a beach I came across at an old whaling station in New South Wales. Apparently, there are ancient middens nearby containing shells over 10,000 years old. People have been eating these things for a long time...

🦈 Small-spotted catshark, otherwise known as the lesser-spotted dogfish, live close to the seabed either in shallow waters or up to 100 metres deep. They prey on crabs, molluscs, and small fish and curl into a doughnut shape when threatened.

Omg I curse J. E. Gray too ... didn't realise he'd taken a break from molluscs to bother birds as well (maybe it was vice versa tho 😂)

The snail farmer of London, his mafia friends, and a £20m vendetta against the taxman
Terry Ball runs elaborate mollusc-based tax avoidance schemes that are costing London councils millions of pounds. Yet when London Centric tracks him down, an even stranger story emerges.

Been a while since I posted anything on a project or art piece, so how about my costume for this year's Halloween party my friends hosted. Based on the time Miss Frizzle took the students to the beach to learn about the tides and filter feeding molluscs. Made the bus and Liz from scratch

👉 The first ammonites, a subclass of cephalopod molluscs, appeared. Trilobites, brachiopods and the great coral reefs were still common during the Devonian.
