Ontogeny of the elemental composition and the biomechanics of radular teeth in the chiton

HIGHLIGHTS

  • who: Wencke Krings from the Department of Behavioral Biology, Institute of Cell and Systems Biology Germany have published the article: Ontogeny of the elemental composition and the biomechanics of radular teeth in the chiton, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
  • what: The authors provide data on the elemental distribution and mechanical properties (hardness and elasticity i.e. Young`s modulus) of all teeth from the Polyplacophora Lepidochitona cinerea (Linnaeus 1767) . The authors aimed at determining the role of calcium for the mechanical behaviour of the teeth: the authors decalcified radulae by ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid and . . .
