But that hasn’t deterred one delicate, baffling “mystery mollusk” species from setting up shop in this inhospitable water column. For more than 20 years scientists at California’s Monterey ...

Phylogenies are essential for organizing knowledge on biological diversity, structuring classifications, and providing insights into evolutionary events. Worldwide phylogenetic studies on mollusks ...

Each molluSCAN-eye unit incorporates a caged cluster of 16 filter-feeding mollusks that are native to the region. It gets placed in the water at the site being monitored.

The organism’s distinctive, glowing presence was observed by multiple deep-sea missions between 2000 to 2021 but was simply referred to as “mystery mollusk.” A team of Monterey Bay Aquarium ...

A team of researchers at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) has discovered a glowing “mystery mollusk” within the ocean's midnight zone. The species, named Bathydevius ...

Nudibranchs, or sea slugs, are soft-bodied marine gastropod mollusks. Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute senior scientists Bruce Robison and Steven Haddock first encountered the odd animal ...

An animal that could be mistaken for a spiky fruit is giving scientists a peek into what mollusks looked like around 500 million years ago. Today’s mollusks are an incredibly diverse group of ...
