Soft-bodied sea slug reconfigures anatomy to simplify feeding control

Soft-bodied sea slug reconfigures anatomy to simplify feeding control. Made entirely of muscle, with no rigid skeleton, muscular hydrostats like octopus arms, elephant trunks and human tongues can move in ways traditional mechanical systems cannot.

O que aconteceu

Made entirely of muscle, with no rigid skeleton, muscular hydrostats like octopus arms, elephant trunks and human tongues can move in ways traditional mechanical systems cannot.

Between crawling across the seafloor, picking up a peanut and enabling speech, scientists have long wondered how soft structures can perform so many different functions without becoming impossible to control.

Por que importa

A pauta interessa a quem acompanha Agro porque altera expectativas e decisões práticas.

Consequência prática

Made entirely of muscle, with no rigid skeleton, muscular hydrostats like octopus arms, elephant trunks and human tongues can move in ways traditional mechanical systems cannot. o movimento reforça a leitura de que decisões em Agro precisam ser acompanhadas com atenção aos dados e ao desfecho concreto.
