Description ''Morula uva'' has a shell that can be either colored white or purple with rows of dark tubercles. The mouth has a shade color of light violet with toothlike projections. There are various sizes and lengths of ''M. uva'', some can be 15mm by 9mm, others can be smaller. Distribution ''Morula uva'' can be found in the tropical Indo-Pacific, which includes: the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean off Aldabra, Chagos, Madagascar, the Mascarene Basin and Tanzania, Iluka, New South Wales, Iluka and Woolgoolga, New South Wales, Woolgoolga, New South Wales, and Hawaii. Biology ''Morula uva'' are scavengers and hunt their prey, whether it be fellow marine gastropod mollusk or other. In boulder zone habitats, ''M. uva'' competes with ''Drupa ricinus when feeding on Dendropoma, Denropoma.'' In mid-reef flat rocky substratum, where ' ...

Species
In biology, a species is the basic unit of classification and a taxonomic rank of an organism, as well as a unit of biodiversity. A species is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction. Other ways of defining species include their karyotype, DNA sequence, morphology, behaviour or ecological niche. In addition, paleontologists use the concept of the chronospecies since fossil reproduction cannot be examined. The most recent rigorous estimate for the total number of species of eukaryotes is between 8 and 8.7 million. However, only about 14% of these had been described by 2011. All species (except viruses) are given a two-part name, a "binomial". The first part of a binomial is the genus to which the species belongs. The second part is called the specific name or the specific epithet (in botanical nomenclature, also sometimes i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
