Otoconcha Dimidiata
''Otoconcha dimidiata'' is a species of small air-breathing semi-slug, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusc in the family Charopidae. It has a very thin and cap like shell hidden under its skin in the rounded swelling behind the head. ''Otoconcha dimidiata'' is the type species of the genus ''Otoconcha''. Distribution This species occurs in both North and South islands of New Zealand. Habitat This semi slug lives in rotting logs where it is rarely seen because of its secretive habits, but it is not rare. It can be found by careful searching by torch light in damp areas of native forest. Ecology ''Otoconcha dimidiata'' is the preferred prey of the carnivorous land gastropod ''Schizoglossa novoseelandica''. Murdoch R. C.

Frederick Hutton (scientist)
Captain Frederick Wollaston Hutton (16 November 1836 – 27 October 1905) was an English-New Zealand scientist who applied the theory of natural selection to explain the origins and nature of the natural history of New Zealand. An army officer in early life, he then had an academic career in geology and biology. He became one of the most able and prolific nineteenth century naturalists of New Zealand. Biography Hutton was born in Gate Burton, Lincolnshire, England, the son of the Rev. Henry Frederick Hutton and his wife Louisa Wollaston, daughter of the Rev. Henry John Wollaston. He passed through Southwell grammar school and the Naval Academy at Gosport, Hampshire. He studied applied science at King's College London before being commissioned in the Royal Welch Fusiliers and fighting in the Crimean War and the Indian Mutiny. Hutton returned to England in 1860, and continued to study geology at Sandhurst, being elected to the Geological Society of London in the same ...

Horace Burrington Baker
Horace Burrington Baker (1889–1971) was an American malacologist.Coan E. V. & Kabat A. R. (January 27, 2017)2,400 years of malacology, 14th ed. 1443 pp. American Malacological Society. He was born in Sioux City, Iowa, and after serving as a lieutenant in the U.S. Army in 1917–18, was awarded a PhD in 1920 by the University of Michigan. He became a zoologist specializing in malacology. He was an instructor at the University of Pennsylvania in 1920, an assistant professor in 1926, an associate professor in 1928 and professor from 1939 to 1959. He was also business manager (1932–56) and editor (1957–70) of the ''Nautilus'', the journal of malacology. His spouse was Bernadine C. Baker (1906).

Digestive System Of Gastropods
The digestive system of gastropods has evolved to suit almost every kind of diet and feeding behavior. Gastropods (snails and slugs) as the largest taxonomic class of the mollusca are very diverse: the group includes carnivores, herbivores, scavengers, filter feeders, and even parasites. In particular, the radula is often highly adapted to the specific diet of the various group of gastropods. Another distinctive feature of the digestive tract is that, along with the rest of the visceral mass, it has undergone torsion, twisting around through 180 degrees during the larval stage, so that the anus of the animal is located above its head. A number of species have developed special adaptations to feeding, such as the "drill" of some limpets, or the harpoon of the neogastropod genus ''Conus''. Filter feeders use the gills, mantle lining, or nets of mucus to trap their prey, which they then pull into the mouth with the radula. The highly modified parasitic genus '' Enteroxenos'' has no ...

Caudal Mucous Pit
The caudal mucous pit, or caudal mucous horn, is an anatomical structure on the tail end of the foot of various land snails and slugs, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks. The function of this pit is the resorption of mucus when the gastropod is moving (see also Muratov 1999). An incorrect and yet often-used term for this structure is the "caudal gland".Barker G. M. (2001) "Gastropods on Land: Phylogeny, Diversity and Adaptive Morphology." in Barker G. M. (ed.):The biology of terrestrial molluscs. CABI Publishing, Oxon, UK, . 1-146, cited pages: page 90 and pages 140-143. This area also used to be referred to by the term "caudal pore". Families Families of snails and slug where a caudal mucous pit exists in every species included: * Arionidae: * Endodontidae * Polygyridae * Helicodiscidae * Daudebardiinae (a subfamily of Oxychilidae) * Urocyclidae * Helicarionidae * Ariophantidae * Systrophiidae (Systrophiidae is a synonym for Scolodontinae, the subfamily of fa ...

Mantle (mollusc)
The mantle (also known by the Latin word pallium meaning mantle, robe or cloak, adjective pallial) is a significant part of the anatomy of molluscs: it is the dorsal body wall which covers the visceral mass and usually protrudes in the form of flaps well beyond the visceral mass itself. In many species of molluscs the epidermis of the mantle secretes calcium carbonate and conchiolin, and creates a shell. In sea slugs there is a progressive loss of the shell and the mantle becomes the dorsal surface of the animal. The words mantle and pallium both originally meant cloak or cape, see mantle (vesture). This anatomical structure in molluscs often resembles a cloak because in many groups the edges of the mantle, usually referred to as the ''mantle margin'', extend far beyond the main part of the body, forming flaps, double-layered structures which have been adapted for many different uses, including for example, the siphon. Mantle cavity The ''mantle cavity'' is a central fea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
