    A site featuring Okinawan Opisthobranch Molluscs, nudibranchs and other related sea slugs such as bubbleshells, sea hares and side-gilled slugs.

    Extractions: Chromodoris roboi This is a home page dedicated to the study of the Opisthobranch Molluscs of Okinawa’s subtropical Western Pacific waters. Hopefully the site will be one which will facilitate the study and understanding of this diverse group of molluscs. I've placed access to Okinawan images and island information, as well as a series of links to various opisthobranch resources by way of the Jump Buttons located on each page; should you have trouble with the buttons, please use the non-jump link at the bottom of this page which will duplicate the URLs found on the jump page. There are currently several first rate web sites which are providing opisthobranch researchers with a wealth of utility and information. Notable of these are Steve Long’s Opisthobranch Site , Gary McDonald’s Bibliographia Nudibranchia Check List of European Marine Mollusca ; all three of these feature a searchable database. On line opisthobranch newsletters are available from both Steve Long and Wayne Ellis . Erwin Koehler's Opisthobranchs of the World has an alphabetical listing of links to opisthobranch photographs found on the entire web. A relatively recent, but excellent presentation and dialogue site has been initiated by Bill Rudman with the establishment of the

    http://www.backyardnature.net/snail&sl.htm
    
    Extractions: T hough snails and slugs look very different from one another, they're practically the same thing except that snails carry coiled shells on their backs, while slugs don't. If you're reading this where it's warm and rainy, you shouldn't have problems finding snails and slugs. They're found at the base of your house's foundation on the shady northern side, or maybe nibbling lettuce in the garden. If you're reading this during a drought, however, you may need to snoop around. Look for them early in the morning when dew wets everything. If it's really dry, you may just have to wait, for your backyard's snails and slugs may well be underground or beneath rocks or fallen trees, in suspended animation, waiting for rain. I found the one in the picture above resting on a slender bunch of grass flowers. In real life this snail's shell is less than half an inch long. In the picture the two long appendages atop the head are tentacles , used to feel the snail's environment. If you look hard you can see two stalked eyes projecting forward and downward from below the tentacles.

The study of molluscs is called malacology. Characteristics of molluscs Research The research effort of the section is mainly concentrated on the marine and freshwater snails and sea-slugs. Much of the work is taxonomic, with an emphasis on world-wide, or at least Indo-West Pacific, revisions of groups, but studies on aspects of the biology, ecology and evolution of particular species are also taking place.

    Leopard Slug Aerial mating. This is the first shot that I got when I discovered a pair of Leopard slugs (Limax maximus) beginning to mate in my garden.  
    http://members.optushome.com.au/awnelson/davidavid/slug/
    
    Extractions: This is the first shot that I got when I discovered a pair of Leopard Slugs ( Limax maximus ) beginning to mate in my garden. They were suspended by about a metre of the slime shown in the photo, and anchored from the bark of a tree trunk. They were about half a metre off the ground. At this stage they had finished producing the slime and were about to start really mating. In this shot you can see that part of the sexual organ has been 'everted' by the slug that's lower down. It is a very beautiful thing - translucent white, almost blue, like those photos of ice caverns you see. The other slug has also begun to evert the organ. You can see that it comes out from around the side of the head. Well those beautiful organs have found each other and they've entwined a few times. You can see another feature of the organs - they are flanged. Quite a surprise - for some reason the two organs have managed to make this interesting looking structure. It's hard to make out quite what is happening, but it seems like the flanges on the sides of the worm-like organs have grown and are standing out erect. So this is how they end up - the slugs hanging by a metre of slime, with their sexual organs entwined in this strange embrace. I suppose that they were exchanging some intimate substance. They stayed like this for a while, and unfortunately I was called away for dinner. When I returned they were gone, having taken their bungee cord with them.

    Sluggo slug and snail bait will eliminate slugs and snails while posing no threat to pets or wildlife. Kill slugs and Snails Without Harming Pets, Wildlife.  
    http://www.pestproducts.com/sluggo.htm
    
    Extractions: Can safely be used around domestic animals and wildlife! Description Sluggo Application Bait Application Sites This slug bait is a unique blend of an iron phosphate active ingredient, originating from soil, with slug and snail bait additives. It is also used as an ingredient in fertilizers. The bait which is not ingested by snails and slugs will degrade and become a part of the soil. Sluggo is attractive to slugs and snails, luring them from their hiding places and plants. Ingestion, even in small amounts, will cause them to cease feeding. This physiological effect of the bait gives immediate protection to the plants, even though the slugs and snails may remain in the area. After eating the bait, the slugs and snails cease feeding, become less mobile and begin to die within three to six days. Dead slugs and snails may not be visible as they often crawl away to secluded places to die. Plant protection will be observed in the decrease in plant damage.

74. Shetland Wildlife - Non-Marine Molluscs
    A catalog of common slugs and snails (pulmonate gastropods) of the region.  
    http://www.wildlife.shetland.co.uk/other/mollusc.html
    
    Extractions: The non-marine molluscs (Slugs and Snails) of Shetland are not a subject to immediately inspire interest, but this group of invertebrates are one of the most interesting and most often overlooked. To date 62 species have been positively identified in Shetland with a further 5 unsubstantiated records. This represents approximately 31% of the UK fauna and includes both the smallest - Punctum pygmaeum , a tiny disc 1.5 mm across - and the largest - Limax cinereoniger , up to 30 cm of ash-black slug. The latter is considered to be an indicator species of ancient woodland, but in Shetland it is likely to graze on lichens on exposed rocks. Molluscs are present in small numbers in most habitats in Shetland, although the diversity is influenced by underlying geology and it is only among dunes and on limestone that a wide range of species will be found. The earliest known record is for the large freshwater bivalve Margaritifera margaritifera , one of the rarest species, apparently confined to a single site near walls. There are specimens in the Royal Museum of Scotland from 1849. Victorian conchologists were far more interested in making unusual discoveries than in plotting distribution so many old records are tantalisingly vague. An example is Discus rotundatus , one of the commonest species in the UK and first recorded from 'Shetland' around 1860 and again at the turn of the century. However it was not until 1993 that it was re-located and there is no way of knowing if this is the same colony or a very recent introduction (the colony is actually located on a concrete pillar in Weisdale!). The Victorians also had a tendency to be rather imaginative with their identifications and records such as that for

    Extractions: Jody Fetzer, Integrated Pest Management Coordinator Slugs can be very damaging pests in moist, shady gardens. They feed on the leaves of many plants, especially seedlings. Later in the season they can feed on ripening fruits and vegetables. Slugs are especially numerous during rainy seasons and in well-irrigated gardens. If slugs are abundant one year, it does not mean they will be as common the following season; the relative number of slugs in a given season depends on how moist the growing conditions are. Slugs are best described as snails without shells. They are a type of mollusk, related to clams and oysters. Slugs are soft bodied, generally brownish or grayish, with eye stalks. They vary in size from 1/4 inch to two inches or longer. Slugs leave a silvery slime trail that they secrete as they move. Slugs use file-like mouthparts to rasp and chew plant tissue. Because of their mouthparts, they create irregularly shaped holes. Feeding damage can be cosmetic, however extensive feeding can result in plant stress or even death.
