''Eucobresia diaphana'' is a species of small air-breathing land snail or semi-slug in the terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk family Vitrinidae. Habitat This species lives in damp places, such as under leaves. Shell description The shell of this species is very delicate, translucent, and yellowish in color. It has a large aperture. The shell is about 7 millimeters long and 4.5 wide. Distribution This species is widespread and abundant in much of Europe, where it occurs in Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic (where it is mainly of least concern, but near threatened in Moravia), France, Germany, MollBase. 1991. |
Love Darts
A love dart (also known as a gypsobelum, shooting darts, or just as darts) is a sharp, calcareous or chitinous dart which some hermaphroditic land snails and slugs create. Love darts are both formed and stored internally in a dart sac. These darts are made in sexually mature animals only, and are used as part of the sequence of events during courtship, before actual mating takes place. Darts are quite large compared to the size of the animal: in the case of the semi-slug genus ''Parmarion'', the length of a dart can be up to one fifth that of the semi-slug's foot. The process of using love darts in snails is a form of sexual selection. Prior to copulation, each of the two snails (or slugs) attempts to "shoot" one (or more) darts into the other snail (or slug). There is no organ to receive the dart; this action is more analogous to stabbing, or to being shot with an arrow or flechette. The dart does not fly through the air to reach its target, but is "fired" as a contact ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Limacoidea
Limacoidea is a taxonomic superfamily of medium-sized to large, air-breathing land slugs and snails. They are terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the infraorder Stylommatophora (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005). The Helixarionoidea were previously placed in this superfamily. Families The following four families have been recognized in the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005): * Limacidae * Agriolimacidae * Boettgerillidae * Vitrinidae Cladogram A cladogram A cladogram (from Greek ''clados'' "branch" and ''gramma'' "character") is a diagram used in cladistics to show relations among organisms.

Taxonomy Of The Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005)
The taxonomy of the Gastropoda as it was revised in 2005 by Philippe Bouchet and Jean-Pierre Rocroi is a system for the scientific classification of gastropod mollusks. (Gastropods are a taxonomic class of animals which consists of snails and slugs of every kind, from the land, from freshwater, and from saltwater.) The paper setting out this taxonomy was published in the journal ''Malacologia''. The system encompasses both living and extinct groups, as well as some fossils whose classification as gastropods is uncertain. The Bouchet & Rocroi system was the first complete gastropod taxonomy that primarily employed the concept of clades, and was derived from research on molecular phylogenetics; in this context a clade is a "natural grouping" of organisms based upon a statistical cluster analysis. In contrast, most of the previous overall taxonomic schemes for gastropods relied on morphological features to classify these animals, and used taxon ranks such as order, superorder ...

List Of Non-marine Molluscs Of Hawaii
The non-marine molluscs of Hawaii are part of the molluscan fauna of Hawaii, which in turn is part of the ( wildlife of Hawaii). A number of species of non-marine molluscs are found in the wild in Hawaii. In addition there are at least ? gastropod species living as hothouse aliens, only in greenhouses, aquaria, and terraria. There are ??? species of gastropods ?? species of freshwater gastropods, ?? species of land gastropods and ?? species of bivalves living in the wild in the Hawaiian Islands. There are ?? non-indigenous species of gastropods (?? freshwater and ?? land species) and ?? species of bivalves in the wild in Hawaii. This is altogether a total of ?? freshwater non-indigenous species of wild molluscs. ;Summary table of number of species (The summary table is based on species counted in this list, and also includes also those species with question marks) Extinct gastropods in Hawaii include: ....

Pulmonate
Pulmonata or pulmonates, is an informal group (previously an order, and before that a subclass) of snails and slugs characterized by the ability to breathe air, by virtue of having a pallial lung instead of a gill, or gills. The group includes many land and freshwater families, and several marine families. The taxon Pulmonata as traditionally defined was found to be polyphyletic in a molecular study per Jörger ''et al.'', dating from 2010. Pulmonata are known from the Carboniferous Period to the present. Pulmonates have a single atrium and kidney, and a concentrated, symmetrical, nervous system. The mantle cavity is located on the right side of the body, and lacks gills, instead being converted into a vascularised lung. Most species have a shell, but no operculum, although the group does also include several shell-less slugs. Pulmonates are hermaphroditic, and some groups possess love darts.
