A drawing on paper. The left side shows tents within a typical Cylinder pattern consisting of wavy, black bands on a yellow and brown background. The pattern transitions to one on the left side consisting primarily of dark lines with little background colour.

New work completed!

A pencil drawing on white paper: The tenting pattern of a cone snail is depicted. Wavy lines varying in colour from black to brick red and light brown outline the 'tents' against the white background. Two deep orange regions (forming vertical columns) are interrupted by thick black bands (the typical colouration/pattern found on most members of the Cylinder subgenus).

Just completed!

`Unique phenomena are important in history but are difficult to study because they resist categorization and are therefore unpredictable. To examine the timing and circumstances of unique evolutionary events, we identified traits that evolved only once in the highly diverse phylum Mollusca as […]

Just started another one...
This one is based on a cone, again.

A colour drawing based on the pattern found on the cone snail, Conus arenatus. Various markings (varying in colour from black, various browns and brick red) cover a white background. Some darker areas are grey-blue. The markings combine to form wave-like arrangements.

Climate change will impact #mariculture, for both #mollusc and #finfish species, on Canada’s coasts, strategic changes in production, policy, infrastructure, and spatial planning could turn many of these challenges into opportunities. oceans.ubc.ca/2025/12/08/o... @ubccoru.bsky.social

Rear view of green banana slug eating what might be an acorn. Its little eye stalks are fully extended

Same slug from the front. I believe I got it “biting” the acorn. Or whatever it is.

Different banana slug eating a mushroom

Another angle of same slug nomming same mushroom

I never liked the word “nom”. But it was the only thing in my head watching these banana slugs eating. Not sure what the brown thing is, maybe an acorn; the mushroom is likely what’s left of a Deathcap. 🐌🍄‍🟫 📷🍄 #invertebrate #BsnanaSlug #Mollusc
