Trochidrobia Inflata
''Trochidrobia inflata'' is a species of very small freshwater snail, an aquatic Gastropoda, gastropod mollusk in the family Tateidae. This species is Endemism, endemic to Australia. ''Trochidrobia inflata'' derives the name ''inflata'' from the inflated shell of this species. Anatomy and physiology ''Trochidrobia inflata'' has a small umbilicus (mollusc), umbilicus and a relatively high spire (mollusc), spire. This distinction is what distinguishes this species from other species of Trochidrobia genus. In addition, between ''Trochidrobia inflata'' and ''Trochidrobia minuta'', which it shares the habitat with, ''T. inflata'' species has a larger size (up to 1.7 mm in maximum diameter), a wider umbilicus, and a taller spire. ''Trochidrobia inflata'' has a body volume of 0.00552 cm3 and a wet body mass of 0.00965 gram. This species moves similarly to other snails and slugs, by mucus mediated gliding. It has been found by Hershler and Jenkins (1989) that the mineralized skeleton of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Animalia
Animals are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms in the biological kingdom Animalia. With few exceptions, animals consume organic material, breathe oxygen, are able to move, can reproduce sexually, and go through an ontogenetic stage in which their body consists of a hollow sphere of cells, the blastula, during embryonic development. Over 1.5 million living animal species have been described—of which around 1 million are insects—but it has been estimated there are over 7 million animal species in total. Animals range in length from to . They have complex interactions with each other and their environments, forming intricate food webs. The scientific study of animals is known as zoology. Most living animal species are in Bilateria, a clade whose members have a bilaterally symmetric body plan. The Bilateria include the protostomes, containing animals such as nematodes, arthropods, flatworms, annelids and molluscs, and the deuterostomes, containing the echinode ...
