... oyster species survive and grow at pH levels as low as 6.6 while seawater was undersaturated in calcite and aragonite (Ω C =0.2 and Ω A =0.1). Several studies have reported the ability of molluscs to calcify and grow in corrosive seawater, e.g. the mussels Mytilus edulis in Berge et al. (2006...

...Daniel R. Chappell; Daniel I. Speiser ABSTRACT The marine mollusc Acanthopleura granulata (Mollusca; Polyplacophora) has a distributed visual array composed of hundreds of small image-forming eyes embedded within its eight dorsal shell plates. As in other animals with distributed visual systems, we...
