... common shells found in the ocean or rivers.
There are also flowers called "periwinkle" one species is European, another from Madagascar.
Periwinkles typically grow along rocky shorelines, tide pools, and in salt marshes. They are commonly found in temperate regions around the world. Periwinkles thrive in intertidal zones where they can feed on algae and other plant material.
Common periwinkles and flat periwinkles compete primarily for similar resources, such as food and habitat space. Both species feed on algae and detritus found on rocky shorelines, leading to direct competition for these limited resources. Additionally, their overlapping habitats can result in territorial disputes, further intensifying the competition for survival in their shared environment.
Marsh periwinkles feed on algae, bacteria and plant detritus. Also, here is a bit of info about there habbitat/where they can be located: As their name suggests, marsh periwinkles are abundant in the marshes of the middle and lower Bay. They can be found on the stems of smooth cordgrass and other marsh plants growing between the high and low tide marks. Marsh periwinkles are also sometimes found on rocks and jetties.
Periwinkles eat microscopic algae and plankton.
Periwinkles live in groups, just like mussels, to retain moisture.
Periwinkles survive in extreme colds because they are part of the evergreen family.

Yes, periwinkles can survive in saltwater. These marine gastropods are commonly found along coastlines and intertidal zones, where they thrive in brackish and saltwater environments. Their ability to tolerate varying salinity levels allows them to adapt to changes in their habitat, making them resilient in coastal ecosystems.
