Visiting the collections at the Museu de Zoologia was a highlight of the trip, topped off with a visit to a street named after a nudibranch legend

The #WCM2025 meeting was a huge success! Thanks to the LOC in São Paulo and all of our fantastic presenters in the heterobranch symposium 🙌

Excellent start to day 2 of #WCM2025 with a killer plenary by @sigwartae.bsky.social - 📣taxonomy is key for conservation!

Arrived in São Paulo for the World Congress of Malacology - all things mollusc for the next four days. What a dream! 🐌 🐚 🦪 🧬

Back to my roots on the Thames River yesterday! We participated in some FW mussel sampling with DFO in a beautiful spot in Ontario 🌿

It’s been one hell of an awful week but I’m sailing into the long weekend with this guy 💙

Summer fieldwork mode has begun 💪 Just returned from a super productive trip w/ @mollusksatamnh.bsky.social & our stellar PhD students Anahy Garza & Lina Raubold. Lots of colour pattern analysis & sequencing to come on these Felimida nudibranchs & flamingo tongues (Cyphoma) 🎨🧬

Home 💙

A fantastic few days at the museum collections in Bergen 🐚 (with a trail or two snuck in there)

A great few days in Bodø with some beautiful views (thanks again to @joostraeymaekers.bsky.social for the trip to Saltstraumen!) Now off to Bergen ✈️

What a difference a week makes:

Southern Florida -> Northern Norway

For this #molluscmonday I give you what appears to be a rather simple snail. But what if I told you that these tiny eulimids parasitize sea cucumbers- cool, right? I fell in love with these during my PhD and Chris Mah's blog will make you love them too:

I’m absolutely thrilled to have started my new position at @UTMBiology @eebtoronto this week! Stay tuned for exciting work from our group in molluscan systematics & genomics 🧬🐚 Do get in touch if you’re interested in collaborating! See our updated lab website here: laytonlab.com
