Radular force performance of stylommatophoran gastropods (Mollusca) with distinct body masses
Abstract The forces exerted by the animal’s food processing structures can be important parameters when studying trophic specializations to specific food spectra. Even though molluscs represent the second largest animal phylum, exhibiting an incredible biodiversity accompanied by the establishment o...
