Foraging on sand particles: Coatings of soft radular teeth (Paludomidae, Gastropoda, Mollusca)
Invertebrate Biology, Volume 142, Issue 3, September 2023., 2023 Abstract The radula is the ingesta‐gathering structure in Mollusca. As interface, it has to perform various tasks without functional deterioration caused by wear. Wear prevention is well investigated in mollusks that forage on rocks and that generate high punctual pressure with their hard teeth, which contain high inorganic contents at their tips.
