 Where uniqueness lies Gary Marcus Nautilus 29 april 2013 Advances in genetics, biology, neuroscience, anthropology, tend to point up how similar humans are to other animals, not how different.

The mourning cuttlefish (Sepia plangon) takes its cross dressing even further. This cephalopod, found in the waters off the eastern coast of Australia, controls the appearance of its skin with exquisite precision.

When a male cuttlefish attempts to seduce a nearby female he offers her a courtship display by controlling the arrangement of pigments that appear on the surface of his skin.

If a rival male approaches, he changes his skin on the side facing the rival to appear female.

For starters, the word aphrodisiac comes from Aphrodite, the goddess of love (and Venus Greek counterpart.

Actually, its been theorized that oysters are considered aphrodisiacs because, evolutionarily, the origins of life began in the water.

oysters are high in zinc content, which is essential to testosterone productionestosterone being a key component in both male and female arousal.

Shellfish could supplant tree-ring climate data: Nature Newsoxygen isotopes in clamshells may provide the most detailed record yet of global climate change,

according to a team of scientists who studied a haul of ancient Icelandic molluscs. Most measures of palaeoclimate provide data on only average annual temperatures,

But molluscs grow continually, and the levels of different oxygen isotopes in their shells vary with the temperature of the water in

Because clams typically live from two to nine years, isotope ratios in each of these shells provided a two-to-nine-year window onto the environmental conditions in

For larger clams we could do daily. It's an important step in palaeoclimatic studies, he says,

Technically, the molluscs record water temperatures, not air temperatures. But the two are linked closely specially close to the shore,

More disturbing is the absence of oysters around Isla Arena where they were once so abundant that local fishermen say they could chop off a mangrove branch

Left turn saves snails from snakes: Nature Newsevolutionary advantage often makes for show-stopping stuff a cheetah's speed, for example,

In some snails, however, it's simply down to a poor fit with a snake's jaw.

Some species of Satsuma snail have shells that coil to the left, Â which probably evolved

because the snakes that prey on them have specialized jaws for feeding on the molluscs'right-coiling ancestors,

Snail genera tend to be either dextral (right-coiling) or sinistral (left-coiling but the genus Satsuma contains both dextral and sinistral species. In most land snails,

the switch between dextrality and sinistrality is controlled by a single gene, meaning that reversals are likely to occur frequently.

However, sinistral Satsuma snails cannot mate with their dextral relatives, leading scientists to wonder how left-coiling individuals arising from random genetic mutation would be able to find sexual partners.

Ordinarily, these snails would be expected to die out because the vast majority of potential mates would be dextral,

thanks to the fact that common snake predators that can easily eat dextral snails struggle to consume the sinistral ones.

Hoso and his colleagues first looked at how effectively the snake Pareas iwasakii preys on Satsuma snails.

were able to eat all of the dextral snails fed to them, but only 12.5%of the sinistral snails.

Comparing the global distributions of both snakes and snails, the researchers found that sinistral snail species have evolved more often in areas in

which predator and prey coexist. And a DNA-based family tree of the snail genus showed that sinistrality has arisen independently at least six times in Satsuma

more than would be expected were there not some driving force behind its evolution. We knew the snakes had trouble picking up sinistral snails,

says Menno Schilthuizen, an evolutionary ecologist at the National Museum of Natural history of The netherlands in Leiden,

who specializes in snail evolution. But Masaki has shown the snake might actually speed up the fixation of sinistrality,

But for the first time this latest research shows that some of the most ecologically important species--such as the red clover--are particularly tasty to slugs

On the bright side said Dr Barlow the slugs did not like the seedlings of some of the desirable wildflowers such as wood cranesbill rough hawkbit and greater burnet.

Just like us slugs have their favourites and will eat some plants in preference to others.

We have to cope with native slugs in our gardens and crops but this research shows they can be equally damaging in natural systems.

If invasive species like the Spanish slug establish in the UK it will move the battle against slugs to a much higher level.
