In search of the glow—Three‐dimensional reconstruction of Latia neritoides with specific focus on the mantel cavity (Mollusca; Gastropoda; Hygrophila)

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, Volume 323, Issue 2, Page 97-113, June 2024.
The unique defence system of Latia neritoides (Gastropoda) involves secretion of a luminescent mucus. More knowledge on this mucus system will be helpful to understand the basic principle of this luminescent biopolymer. The mucus has incredible underwater bonding abilities, opening up new possibilities for adhesives in moist environments. In this study,
