Using its muscular foot, the common limpet is able to form such a tight bond to its home rocks that it is very difficult to pry off. In addition to protection ...

Other behaviours and adaptations To avoid drying out, limpets scour a 'home base' with their shell edge and trap a bubble of water underneath. They may travel ...

There are two important adaptations that protect true limpets. One is the physical defense of the shell. Another is the adhering strength of the foot.

Limpets are molluscs which have a conical shell that is well adapted to resist fracture by impact from projectiles such as rocks during storms.

In response to predation pressure, the plate limpet has developed a series of anti-predator responses when they detect waterborne or tactile cues from their ...
