Giuseppe Saverio Poli
Giuseppe Saverio Poli (26 October 17467 April 1825) was an Italian physicist, biologist and natural historian. His collections, together with those stored in the Royal Bourbon Museum, were the foundation of the Zoological Museum of Naples. The specimens were from locations all over the world, and included especially, Lepidoptera, Cnidaria and Mollusca. Biography Giuseppe Saverio Poli was born in 1746 and was the son of Vito Angelo di Giuseppe and Eleonora Corlè. In 1766 he enrolled at the University of Padua, where he graduated in medicine. He briefly worked as a doctor in Molfetta, but in 1790 he moved to Naples to teach history and geography at the Nunziatella Military School, for which, once he became commander, with the rank of lieutenant colonel, he took care of the department of physics. In 1775 he toured Europe on behalf of the academy, visiting many seats of learning in Germany, France, England and the Netherlands and meeting naturalists and scientists. This enabled ...

Cardita
''Cardita'' is a genus of marine bivalve molluscs in the family Carditidae. Naming Especially in the early 19th century, this genus was often confused with the Carditid genus ''Cardites''. ''Cardita'' was originally established by J.G. Bruguière in 1792. However, in 1801 Jean-Baptiste Lamarck described it under the name ''Cardites''. J.H.F. Link subsequently described a new genus using the name ''Cardites'' in 1807. When this homonymy was realised, Megerle in 1811 re-described Link's genus ''Cardites'' as ''Cardita''. Megerle's action resulted in four technically valid names which formed two mutual pairs of homonyms. The matter was ultimately resolved by starting with the oldest name – that of Bruguière – and applying it as intended, and suppressing Lamarck's name so that Link's junior homonym could be used for ''Cardites''. In addition to the numerous junior synonyms, ''Byssomera'' – a junior synonym or subgenus of '' Carditamera'' – has som ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Glans (bivalve)
The glans (, plural "glandes" ; from the Latin word for "acorn") is a vascular structure located at the tip of the penis in male mammals or a homologous genital structure of the clitoris in female mammals. Structure The exterior structure of the glans consists of mucous membrane, which is usually covered by foreskin or clitoral hood in naturally developed genitalia. This covering, called the prepuce, is normally retractable in adulthood. The glans naturally joins with the frenulum of the penis or clitoris, as well as the inner labia in women, and the foreskin in uncircumcised men. In non-technical or sexual discussions, often the word "clitoris" refers to the external glans alone, excluding the clitoral hood, frenulum, and internal body of the clitoris. Similarly, phrases "tip" or "head" of the penis refers to the glans alone. Sex differences in humans In males, the glans is known as the glans penis, while in females the glans is known as the clitoral glans. In females, the c ...

Carditidae
Carditidae is a family of marine bivalve clams of the order Carditida, which was long included in the Venerida. They are the type taxon of the superfamily Carditoidea. Carditidae is a neglected and poorly classified family. It has six subfamilies recognised by the World Register of Marine Species, but the WoRMS has refrained from assigning contents to any family due to ambiguity and overlap in their definitions. Additionally, several genera have been or are still considered subgenera of other genera by some authors. Genera The genera of Carditidae recognised by the World Register of Marine Species are: *'' Akardita'' La Perna, Brunetti & Della Bella, 2018 *'' Arcturellina'' Chavan, 1951 * '' Bathycardita'' Iredale, 1924 * '' Beguina'' Röding, 1798 *'' Cardiocardita'' Anton, 1838 * ''Cardita'' Bruguière, 1792 * '' Carditamera'' * '' Carditellopsis'' Iredale, 1936 * ''Cardites'' Link, 1807 * '' Centrocardita'' Sacco, 1899 *†'' Choniocardia'' Cossmann, 1904 *†'' Claib ...

Bivalves Described In 1795
Bivalvia (), in previous centuries referred to as the Lamellibranchiata and Pelecypoda, is a class of marine and freshwater molluscs that have laterally compressed bodies enclosed by a shell consisting of two hinged parts. As a group, bivalves have no head and they lack some usual molluscan organs, like the radula and the odontophore. They include the clams, oysters, cockles, mussels, scallops, and numerous other families that live in saltwater, as well as a number of families that live in freshwater. The majority are filter feeders. The gills have evolved into ctenidia, specialised organs for feeding and breathing. Most bivalves bury themselves in sediment, where they are relatively safe from predation. Others lie on the sea floor or attach themselves to rocks or other hard surfaces. Some bivalves, such as the scallops and file shells, can swim. The shipworms bore into wood, clay, or stone and live inside these substances. The shell of a bivalve is composed of calc ...
