Diodora
''Diodora'' is a genus of small to medium-sized keyhole limpet in the family Fissurellidae.Bouchet, P.; Gofas, S.; Rosenberg, G. (2012). Diodora J. E. Gray, 1821. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=138011 on 21 May 2012 Life habits Like all other fissurellids, ''Diodora'' species are herbivores, and use the radula to scrape algae from rocks. An exception is ''D. apertura'', which grazes on sponges such as ''Hymeniacidon''. Water for respiration and excretion is drawn in under the edge of the shell and exits through the "keyhole" at or near the apex. Species Species in this genus include: * '' Diodora aguayoi'' Pérez Farfante, 1943 * '' Diodora alta'' ( Adams, 1852) * '' Diodora arcuata'' ( Sowerby, 1862) * ''Diodora arnoldi'' McLean, 1966 * ''Diodora aspera'' ( Rathke, 1833) * '' Diodora australis'' ( Krauss, 1848) * ''Diodora benguelensis'' (Dunker, 1846) * ''Diodora bermudensis'' ( Dall & Bartsch ...

Diodora Aspera
''Diodora aspera'', also known as the rough keyhole limpet, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family (biology), family Fissurellidae, the keyhole limpets. Although similar in appearance to a common limpet, it has a hole near the apex of its shell, and is only distantly related. It often has a scaled polychaete worm ''Arctonoe vittata'' living inside its shell as a Commensalism, commensal. In the event that it is attacked by a starfish, it extends flaps of Mantle (mollusc), mantle to defend itself, and the worm also helps drive the predator away. Description ''Diodora aspera'' has a cone-shaped shell growing to a length of about . Near the apex is an aperture about one tenth of the length of the shell, which is used for respiration and the elimination of waste. There is a broad foot which exerts suction on the rock surface, and the mantle is large enough to cover the margin of the shell. The surface of the shell is sculptured with coarse ribs and is usua ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Keyhole Limpet
Fissurellidae, common name the keyhole limpets and slit limpets, is a taxonomic family of limpet-like sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the clade Vetigastropoda.Rosenberg, G. (2012). Fissurellidae. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=111 on 2013-01-02 Their common name derives from the small hole in the apex of their cone-like shells. Although superficially resembling "true" limpets, they are in fact not closely related to them. Distribution The distribution of fissurellids is worldwide, from cold waters to tropical waters. Powell A. W. B., ''New Zealand Mollusca'', William Collins Publishers Ltd, Auckland, New Zealand 1979 Habitat Fissurellids live in habitats on and under rocks in the lower intertidal zones to deeper waters. Shell description Keyhole limpets somewhat resemble true limpets because of the simple conical shape of their shells, but in reality they are not closely related ...
