Diodora Lincolnensis003
''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, 19 ...

Jean-Baptiste Lamarck
Jean-Baptiste Pierre Antoine de Monet, chevalier de Lamarck (1 August 1744 – 18 December 1829), often known simply as Lamarck (; ), was a French naturalist, biologist, academic, and soldier. He was an early proponent of the idea that biological evolution occurred and proceeded in accordance with Naturalism (philosophy), natural laws. Lamarck fought in the Seven Years' War against Prussia, and was awarded a commission for bravery on the battlefield. Posted to Monaco, Lamarck became interested in natural history and resolved to study medicine.#Packard, Packard (1901), p. 15. He retired from the army after being injured in 1766, and returned to his medical studies. Lamarck developed a particular interest in botany, and later, after he published the three-volume work ''Flore françoise'' (1778), he gained membership of the French Academy of Sciences in 1779. Lamarck became involved in the Jardin des Plantes and was appointed to the Chair of Botany in 1788. When the French Nationa ...

He described many mollusks of the Pacific Northwest of America, and was for many years America's preeminent authority on living and fossil mollusks. Dall also made substantial contributions to ornithology, zoology, physical and cultural anthropology, oceanography and paleontology. In addition he carried out meteorological observations in Alaska for the Smithsonian Institution. Biography Early life Dall was born in Boston, Massachusetts. His father Charles Henry Appleton Dall, (1816–86), a Unitarian minister, moved in 1855 to India as a missionary.
