Atlantic Dogwinkle
The dog whelk, dogwhelk, or Atlantic dogwinkle (''Nucella lapillus'') is a species of predatory sea snail, a carnivorous marine gastropod in the family Muricidae, the rock snails. ''Nucella lapillus'' was originally described by Carl Linnaeus in his landmark 1758 10th edition of ''Systema Naturae'' as ''Buccinum lapillus'' (the basionym). "Dog whelk" can also refer to the Nassariidae. Distribution This species is found around the coasts of Europe and in the northern west Atlantic coast of North America. It also can be found in estuarine waters along the Atlantic coasts. This species prefers rocky shores, where it eats mussels and acorn barnacles.Colin Little, J. A. Kitching, 1996''The Biology of Rocky Shores'' pp. 140-145. Shell description The dog whelk shell is small and rounded with a pointed spire and a short, straight siphonal canal (a groove on the underside of the shell) and a deep anal canal. The overall shell shape varies quite widely according to the degre ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Nucella Canaliculata
''Nucella canaliculata'', commonly known as the channeled dog winkle or the channeled purple, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails. The shell grows to a maximum length of about . This species is distributed in the northeastern Pacific Ocean from the Aleutian Islands to California. Description ''Nucella canaliculata'' has a robust shell with a strong spire, a short notch to house the siphon, and up to seven whorls. The whorls are demarcated from each other by deep grooves and are sculpted with many low spiral ridges of approximately even size. The surface of the shell is matt; small individuals are often orange while larger ones are grayish or pale brown. The margins of the aperture are often yellow, and the animal's soft parts are protected by a horny operculum. The maximum length of this species is about . This dog winkle can be distinguished from the frilled dog winkle (''Nucella lamellosa'') by the ab ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nucella Emarginata
''Nucella emarginata'', common name the emarginate dogwinkle, is a species of medium-sized predatory sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails. Description ''N. emarginata'' is a rocky intertidal gastropod carnivore that feeds on a variety of sessile and sedentary species such as barnacles, mussels, and limpets. The adult shell size of this species can reach 25 mm or 30 mm. Feeding ''N. emarginata'' attacks prey by drilling. It has a special organ called the accessory boring organ, or ABO, that contains acid which it uses to dissolve a small hole in the shell of its prey.Gruber, G.L., Carriker, M.R., 1990. A note on the accessory boring organ and shell boring by the "Loco", ''Concholepas concholepas'' (Muricidae, Gastropoda). Bulletin of Marine Science 47, 739–744. Carriker, M.R., Gruber, G.L., 1999.

Nucella Lamellosa
''Nucella lamellosa'', commonly known as the frilled dogwinkle or wrinkled purple whelk, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails. This species occurs in the eastern Pacific Ocean, its range extending in the intertidal zone from the Aleutian Islands southward to central California. Description ''Nucella lamellosa'' is a large snail with a strong shell growing to a length of and width of . The shell has no more than seven whorls and has a horny operculum. The spire is well developed, with a short notch to accommodate the siphon. This snail is rather variable in colour, shape and surface texture. Some specimens are smooth, others rough and others have frilled lamellae (angular plates). Some of these features may be as a result of abrasion and wave action, and when present, the spiral sculpture takes the form of one or two ridges per whorl, the whorls being flattened near their joints making them appear to be an ...

Nucella Squamosa
''Nucella squamosa'', common name the scaly dogwhelk, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails. Description The scaly dogwhelk is a small brown whelk with many fine knobbly spiral ridges on its shell. It grows up to 5 cm in total length. The ridges of the snail's shell are not often visible because the whelk is usually overgrown by the high-spined commensal hydroid, ''Hydtractinia altispina'', which looks prickly and is orange.Branch, G.M., Branch, M.L, Griffiths, C.L. and Beckley, L.E. 2010. ''Two Oceans: a guide to the marine life of southern Africa''. . Distribution This marine snail is found off the southern African coast from central Namibia to Port St Johns, subtidally to 50m under water. Ecology The eggs are laid in small groups of capsules which resemble stalked clubs. The commensal Commensalism is a long-term biological interaction (symbiosis) in which members of one species gain benefits w ...
