Tree Snail
Tree snail is a common name that is applied to various kinds of tropical air-breathing land snails, pulmonate gastropod mollusks that have shells, and that live in trees, in other words, are exclusively arboreal in habitat. Some other species of air-breathing land snails may sometimes be found on tree trunks, or even in the foliage of trees, but this does not mean they live their whole lives in trees, and they are not considered to be tree snails. Tree snail Genera and species that have the words "tree snail" as a part of their common name include: forestry and silviculture are a part of the tree snails habitat * genus ''Achatinella'' - O'ahu tree snail, 40 species. * '' Partula'' - various species in the genus ''Partula'' are known under the common name "Moorean Viviparous Tree Snail" or "Polynesian Tree Snail". * ''Samoana'' - in addition, various species in the genus ''Samoana'' are known under the common name "Moorean Viviparous Tree Snail" or "Polynesian Tree Snail". ** ''S ...

Common Name
In biology, a common name of a taxon or organism (also known as a vernacular name, English name, colloquial name, country name, popular name, or farmer's name) is a name that is based on the normal language of everyday life; and is often contrasted with the scientific name for the same organism, which is Latinized. A common name is sometimes frequently used, but that is not always the case. In chemistry, IUPAC defines a common name as one that, although it unambiguously defines a chemical, does not follow the current systematic naming convention, such as acetone, systematically 2-propanone, while a vernacular name describes one used in a lab, trade or industry that does not unambiguously describe a single chemical, such as copper sulfate, which may refer to either copper(I) sulfate or copper(II) sulfate. Sometimes common names are created by authorities on one particular subject, in an attempt to make it possible for members of the general public (including such interested par ...

Arboreal Locomotion
Arboreal locomotion is the locomotion of animals in trees. In habitats in which trees are present, animals have evolved to move in them. Some animals may scale trees only occasionally, but others are exclusively arboreal. The habitats pose numerous mechanical challenges to animals moving through them and lead to a variety of anatomical, behavioral and ecological consequences as well as variations throughout different species.Cartmill, M. (1985). Climbing. In ''Functional Vertebrate Morphology'', eds. M. Hildebrand D. M. Bramble K. F. Liem and D. B. Wake, pp. 73–88. Cambridge: Belknap Press. Furthermore, many of these same principles may be applied to climbing without trees, such as on rock piles or mountains. Some animals are exclusively arboreal in habitat, such as the tree snail. Biomechanics Arboreal habitats pose numerous mechanical challenges to animals moving in them, which have been solved in diverse ways. These challenges include moving on narrow branches, mov ...

Orthalicus Reses
''Orthalicus reses'', the Stock Island tree snail, is a species of large tropical air-breathing tree snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Orthalicidae. It was first described in 1830 by the American naturalist Thomas Say. The holotype, a specimen probably collected in Key West, was subsequently lost. Over a hundred years later, in 1946, the American biologist Henry Augustus Pilsbry redescribed the species using a specimen from Stock Island, Florida. ''Orthalicus reses'' has two subspecies, ''O. reses reses'' and ''O. reses nosodryas''. The validity of these two taxa is still being discussed, but some experts argue that considering them as independent units may be important for management purposes. The Stock Island tree snail has a large conical shell (45–55 mm in length) with variable thickness, generally lighter and more translucent than other species of ''Orthalicus''. It is colored white to buff, with weakly developed spiral bands and severa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
