Friday link time!

Happy Friday, everyone! I’ve got some links for you: 1. This is a totally fascinating article about how a species of all-male clams hijacks genes from other species when they parasitize their eggs. Super freaky stuff. 2. Also, invasive nudibranchs! I love nudibranchs, but these ones are bad news, as they prey on the native [...]
DC Loves Mollusks: Crocheted Mollusks

OK, so this trip to DC. It was like mollusk overload! Not really, I can’t overload on mollusks. The two big things on my DC itinerary were the zoo and the Natural History Museum. The forecast called for rain on Saturday and sun on Sunday, so that made that decision pretty easy. The main goal [...]
Breakin’ rules for Nudibranchs

So I have this rule that I’m not allowed to buy t-shirts, because I can’t wear them to work and I should spend my clothing money on nice work clothes instead. Super boring, right? It’s the reason that the human inside this amazing (and glow in the dark, I might add) t-shirt from the Peabody [...]
Speculative Mollusks

How badly do I want to go to the Sydney Aquarium? Really badly. Sure, it’s one of the few places in the world with dugongs in captivity. Yeah, it’s got platypuses. But you know what else it has? Giant nudibranchs! Wait, what? I don’t know how this whole project had escaped my attention. The Future [...]
Friday is for linking

A few great things going on this week. Some in the world of science, some in art. 1. In art, there are some great upcoming opportunities to see large artfully rendered mollusks. An octopus you can walk inside of at SFMoMA, and some large purple snails on a Causeway in Miami Beach. 2. I don’t [...]
Friday Linkstravaganza

Weekly link roundup time! 1. What are you doing this weekend? Watching Sharktopus I hope! I was going to embed the trailer, but in fact it looks so godawful I thought better of it. I’ll hold out for Bearsharktopus. 2. Purdue researchers working on what makes oysters stick together. It seems that oysters are producing [...]

It was a great crowd to be in; so many excellent sightings. Lynda at mainlymongoose Kordite in the Flickr group Bill Murphy at Fertanish Chatter Rebecca In The Woods [...]
Sea Lemon?

Nope. Harlem Meer orange. This amused me to no end when I saw it floating in the Meer the other day while I was checking out the cypress knees along the shore. It immediately reminded me of one of the more common nudibranchs to spot along the coast in the Bay Area, known as the [...]
Nudibranch love in the New York Times

All the news that’s fit to print, indeed! In addition to a fantastic Q&A with Terry Gosliner from the Cal Academy, there’s a fantastic slide show! Sometimes I think cephalopods get all the news coverage, but what a great week for nudibranchs. My favorite part of the Q&A was about how old nudibranchs are since [...]
