Exempel på hur man kan använda GASTROPODS i en mening

• The lungs are the main organs of the respiratory system in many terrestrial animals, including all tetrapod vertebrates and a small number of amphibious fish (lungfish and bichirs), pulmonate gastropods (land snails and slugs, which have analogous pallial lungs), and some arachnids (tetrapulmonates such as spiders and scorpions, which have book lungs).
• Lichens have since been recognized as important actors in nutrient cycling and producers which many higher trophic feeders feed on, such as reindeer, gastropods, nematodes, mites, and springtails.
• There are many voids in the stone, caused by percolating rainwater dissolving all or parts of its many shell fossils, mainly bivalves and gastropods.
• The snake-necked species (genera Chelus, Chelodina, and Hydromedusa) are largely strike-and-gape hunters or foragers feeding on fish, invertebrates, and gastropods.
• The gizzard, also referred to as the ventriculus, gastric mill, and gigerium, is an organ found in the digestive tract of some animals, including archosaurs (birds and other dinosaurs, crocodiles, alligators, pterosaurs), earthworms, some gastropods, some fish, and some crustaceans.
• Powelliphanta is a genus of large, air-breathing land snails, pulmonate gastropods in the family Rhytididae, found only in New Zealand.
• The slug-like organism fed by scratching the microbial surface on which it dwelt in a manner similar to the gastropods,.
• The pseudobranch, also pseudobranchia, is the reduced first gill arch of a fish (on the inner surface of the opercle, near the junction of the preopercle) as well as a reduced "false" gill in some gastropods.
• The name "sea slug" is often applied to nudibranchs and a paraphyletic set of other marine gastropods without apparent shells.
• thumb Greater sirens are carnivorous and prey upon invertebrates (such as insects, crustaceans, gastropods, bivalves, spiders, molluscs, and crayfish) and aquatic vertebrates (such as small fish) with a possible preference for molluscs (such as snails and freshwater clams), although they have been observed to eat vegetation such as algae.
• The limestone contains marine fossils including crinoids, brachiopods, gastropods, horn corals, and bryozoans.
• In the last few years, two new cladistic taxonomies of the gastropods have been published (in 1997 and 2005).
• Oestroidea have a wide range of feeding habits and breeding environments: saprophagous (many Calliphoridae and Sarcophagidae), feeding on blood of birds or mammals (some Calliphoridae), parasites of gastropods or earthworms (some Calliphoridae), parasitoids of arthropods (Rhinophoridae, Tachinidae and some Sarcophagidae), living in association with termites or ants (some Calliphoridae and Rhiniidae), and commensals of bats (Mystacinobiidae).
• The prosobranch gastropods include the majority of marine snails, among them conches, cones, cowries, limpets, murexes, periwinkles, volutes and whelks, as well as numerous freshwater groups, and some land snails with an operculum.
• Amphipods and planarians exist under rocks, along with various algaes, chitons, and some gastropods.
• As pelagic marine gastropods, Limacina swim by flapping their parapodia, inspiring the common name sea butterflies.
• Because the coiled shells of gastropods are asymmetric, they possess a quality called chirality–the "handedness" of an asymmetric structure.
• The gastropods Pusulina radiata and Cyclope neritea, and the bivalves Cerastoderma glauca and Tapes decussatus are the only anti-Lessepsian species that are originally from the Mediterranean Sea.
• This subclass, Orthogastropoda, which one perhaps could call the true snails, was defined most concisely as all gastropods which were not members of Patellogastropoda, the true limpets.
• Diversity and systematics of Haminoeidae gastropods (Heterobranchia: Cephalaspidea) in the tropical West Pacific Ocean: new data on the genera Aliculastrum, Atys, Diniatys and Liloa.
