We have a new article for #MolluscMonday.
A phylogeny of the Orthalicoidea tree #snails. This is a big group of good-looking critters, which are very biodiverse in the neotropics.

#AtlantaInclinata #Atlantidae #Gastropods #Molluscs #MolluscMonday finally I ended with this stage on my thesis, identifying all this snails on my samples were too difficult because I’ve never been in this kind of job before in taxonomy, but thanks to Maria Moreno-Alcántara I was able to do it because of her MSc thesis material

RT by @NautilusMag: Follow-up to the Taningia article in @NautilusMag for #MolluscMonday:

Check the size of these photophores on this subadult #Taningia (found dead at the surface off Hawaii). Dark eyelid-like structure allows the #squid to control the emission of light.

#SnailSunday has made way for #MolluscMonday. There are perhaps two weeks per year when the snails are easily visible in trees and hedges, these two here on emerging willow flowers at Attenborough Nature reserve

Sub adult Cepaea nemoralis with go-faster stripes. From Cumbria. #MolluscMonday #snails #Cepaea #cepaeanemoralis

One of the best belemnite fossils I’ve ever seen. Perfect for #MolluscMonday

Most belemnite fossils are just the hard part, called the guard or rostrum. This one includes the ink sac and arms with hooks! It’s a real beauty. Well, as far as squid-like Jurassic critters go. 🦑

Newly published article about South American land #snails in the Auckland #Museum's collection.🐌
You can find the article at https://tuhinga.arphahub.com/article/98329/, but here's some nice Ecuadorian and Peruvian snail shells for starters.

We have a new 🐌 species for this #MolluscMonday - Marfisa's helicina (𝘏𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘧𝘪𝘴𝘢𝘦). The scale bar is 2 mm.
It's part of this study on cave snails from eastern Brazil, done together with M. Bichuette and F. Silva: https://doi.org/10.12657/folmal.031.007

This #MolluscMonday, I have a new contribution with a team of colleagues from S America. Glad to be part of this study. 😄

It is Callotrachia jessiana a species with a ridiculously tiny geographic range. It is cofined to one stand of less than a dozen fig trees that measures 47 m long by 18 m wide. That's it the entire range of this species, which could be fitted on a single football field.

Just over a week ago it rained in Alice Springs, and I was able to go do a bit of spot lighting. Results were disappointing but I was able to see for the first time this little gastropod out and about. 🧵

There's a new paper out! (led by Natan Pedro)

Here's a new article about the geographic #distribution and #conservation of #microsnails in #Chile: https://peerj.com/articles/14027/

It was great working with Gonzalo Collado & other colleagues on this paper.

For #MolluscMonday here is a Helicodiscus snail from #Philadelphia. They're about 3mm across, live under fallen logs, and look like little straw yellow tires. I found this one munching on some fungus.

Have also seen in Central Park NYC, New Jersey, and Florida--they're pretty common, but most iNat people aren't looking for them it seems, only 49 observations.

I think the Faeroe Islands/Føroyar are the only country to have featured the horse mussel (Modiolus modiolus) in their stamps and I might have to get one. #MolluscMonday #philately.
