Arrivée de la fiche d'un petit #bivalve des côtes européennes : la #spisule tronquée.
Il s’agit de l’espèce la plus commune sur les plages de la mer du Nord.

Nouvelle fiche de petit #bivalve européen (pas un bénitier, cette fois !) publiée sur le site : la syndesmye ovale.

Une troisième fiche descriptive de #bénitier (d'autres arrivent encore 🙂 ) avec une toute petite distribution #Pacifique (vers la #Nlle-Calédonie pour nous) :
le bénitier du diable.

Toujours dans l'#excitation incompréhensible de ces deux derniers jours...
Des #Mollusques, ce coup-ci !
1. un #bivalve, la syndesmie blanche

#Genomes of enigmatic tusk shells provide new insights into early molluscan #evolution https://phys.org/news/2023-09-genomes-enigmatic-tusk-shells-insights.html

#Scaphopoda is the sister taxon to #Bivalvia: Evidence of ancient incomplete lineage sorting https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2302361120

"#Scaphopods exhibit a mosaic of features resembling other lineages: tentacles like the arms of #cephalopods, unique shell ontology similar to #bivalves, and a partially degenerated head that seemingly represents an intermediate state between bivalves and #gastropods"

Enjoyed 'The Big Oyster' by Mark Kurlansky: amazing story of how #NewYork 's massive #oyster beds fed the rich and the poor alike, of how the oysters made the city as we know it and how the city in turn unmade the #oysters and the goods and services they provided.

Marine bivalve larval shells from the Florida Panhandle #TinyWorlds #ScanningElectronMicroscopy #Mollusca #Bivalvia

A #clam presumed #extinct for 40,000 years has been found alive https://www.sciencenews.org/article/clam-presumed-extinct-found-alive

A #fossil species found living off southern #California, with notes on the genus Cymatioa (#Mollusca, #Bivalvia, Galeommatoidea) https://zookeys.pensoft.net/article/95139/

The researchers still puzzle over how the critters eluded #science for so long. One idea is that C. cooki’s preferred habitat is farther south, perhaps in a remote area. A mass of warm water may have washed some clam #larvae toward #SantaBarbara.
