Awful news: St Helena is one of the most damaged environments, in studying its extinct snails I've been impressed that 2 remain on the last cabbage trees. They survived forest clearance & goats but may finally go due to an invasive fungus! hakaimagazine.com/news/something… Hakai Magazine

AI-assisted ID of obscure animals is growing. What better objects to use for training than well-authenticated museum specimens? As part of an #ArtificialIntelligenceMW project, @Liebniz_LIB have borrowed some of Vertigo snails, including rare ones being conserved by Natur am Byth!

Today's #MolluscMonday is the bivalve shell Limopsis tenella. Semi-infaunal, anchored by a byssus, of a single thread, to sediment particles. An abyssal species generally from below 2000 m. naturalhistory.museumwales.ac.uk/BritishBivalve…

This year's snail conservation expedition is underway: Partula 2024 releasing more tree-snails back into the wild in Polynesia. I arrived on Tahiti this morning and we went straight out to monitor the Partula nodosa that were released yesterday. Very good results for day 1
