Why do some whelk shells turn green? We study whelk in aquaria to understand why some shells turn green. Whelks use a long proboscis with sharp teeth to tear off pieces of fish during feeding. Funded by EMFAF & the EU. #JadeWhelk #MarineBiology #EUfunded

@wormduty @FabianRuperti @savitski_lab @Prevedel_Lab Great work!

biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Did you know that sponges can move? @FabianRuperti with @savitski_lab and @Prevedel_lab studied sponge movement and found an evolutionary ancient mechanism controlling cellular tension and defense which is also present in our vasculature! A thread 🧵:
