By integrating aspects of morphology, ecology, evolution and behaviour, it describes how each group copes with problems of defence, locomotion, nutrition, reproduction and embryonic development. First come general characteristics of the Mollusca, to which snails belong; and next, characteristics by which snails (Gastropoda) differ from other molluscs. Then a broad, panoramic view of all major sea snail groups, from the primitive to the more advanced, is presented, including both the more abundant and some remote ones of special interest. In detailing primitive sea snails, first limpets (Patellogastropoda) are described, followed by brush snails (Vetigastropoda: top-shells, turbans and allies) and nerites (Neritimorpha), a small group with remarkably high variation in shell colour and in habitats. In looking at advanced-snails (Caenogastropoda), it details the herbivorous grazers and filter-feeders and the many voracious predators, some which use venomous darts. The book also covers sea slugs (Opisthobranchia), which have shifted from mechanical to chemical defence; some are herbivores, some | | 出版日期 | Book 2015 | | 关键词 | gastropod defence; gastropod food; gastropod locomotion; gastropod natural history; gastropod reproducti | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-15452-7 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-36187-1 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-15452-7 | | copyright | Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2015 |
