Limpets are the BEST gastropods. This is not an opinion, it is evolution. Limpets evolved more than 50 times: they are important. People in Hawaii already know this.

Arctica islandica is one of the oldest (non-colonial) animals, they easily live more than 500 years, and still look amazing. It got a write up in "Mollusc World" (this is a real magazine) that you can read here

This is an insult to molluscs (and they will outlive us all, so be careful!)

Evolutionary history of molluscs was contentious for decades due to conflicting genetic data vs morphology and fossils. Our tree resolves previous controversies; also provide key insights on what the ancestral mollusc looked like!

We actually had a big group discussion about the grammatical construction of the species epithets, because we are serious taxonomists.
