Micro-CT morphological traits for Chondrilla nucula and Hexaplex trunculus specimens from Heraklion BBT, Crete, Greece in 2023. Specimens of Chondrilla nucula and Hexaplex trunculus were collected from Heraklion BBT and used in a climate change experiment conducted within the framework of the MACCIMO project (https://maccimo.hcmr.gr/). During the MARBEFES project, a series of 3D data derived from micro-computed tomography were proposed as morphological traits useful for monitoring the effects of climate change on these species.
