[10] The estimate of 85,000 molluscs includes 24,000 described species of terrestrial gastropods. Gastropods can be accidentally transferred from one habitat to another by other animals, e.g. Gastropoda . Budd, G. E., and S. Jensen. Gastropod; 15 … Gastropoda: information (1) Gastropoda: pictures (147) Gastropoda: specimens (56) Order Acochlidioidea. Overview. [15], In marine habitats, the continental slope and the continental rise are home to the highest diversity, while the continental shelf and abyssal depths have a low diversity of marine gastropods.[16]. Its function is to push away sediment as the snail crawls. The earliest undisputed gastropods date from the Late Cambrian Period, around 500 million years ago. In some species that have evolved into endoparasites, such as the eulimid Thyonicola doglieli, many of the standard gastropod features are strongly reduced or absent. Most members have a shell, which is in one piece and coiled or spiralled; it usually opens on the right hand side (viewed with the shell apex p… The respiratory protein in almost all gastropods is hemocyanin, but one freshwater pulmonate family, the Planorbidae, have hemoglobin as the respiratory protein. p 177; 375/822.

Gastropods are mollusks, and an extremely diverse group that includes over 40,000 species. Cocculiniformia, Neomphalina and Lower Heterobranchia are not included in the above cladogram. It was during the Mesozoic era that the ancestors of many of the living gastropods evolved. A gastropod is actually a type of animal that belongs to a class called Gastropoda. Class 4. A conservative classification is presented below, basically using concepts from S.P. ; The ctenidium (gill-combs), the osphradium (olfactory organs), the hypobranchial gland (or pallial mucous gland), and the auricle of the heart are single or at least are more developed on one side of the body than the other ; Furthermore, there is only one genital orifice, which lies on the same side of the body as the anus.[21]. Taxonomy: Phylum Mollusca, Class Gastropoda Common names of representatives: Snails, slugs, and limpets. I. 2000: A critical reappraisal of the fossil record of the bilaterian phyla. Determining the relationships of Paleozoic gastropod clades to one another, as well as to extant groups, is a challenging endeavor, most especially because of their paucity of shell characters, limiting their inclusion in phylogenetic analyses. Found inside – Page 170Comparisson of the upper Triassic and lower Jurassic gastropods from the Peruvian Andes ( Pucará Group ) and the Alps ... Some heterostrophic gastropods from Triassic St. Cassian Formation with a discussion on the classification of the ... Gastropods are characterised by the possession of a single (often coiled) shell, although this is lost in some slug groups, and a body that has undergone torsion so that the pallial cavity faces forwards. Found inside – Page 432Grønlands Geol Undersøg Bull 146:1–115 Kríž J (2007) Origin, evolution and classification of the new superorder Nepiomorphia (Mollusca, Bivalvia, Lower ... The class Gastropoda has an extraordinary diversification of habitats. The principal characteristic of the Gastropoda is the asymmetry of their principal organs. The "Purbeck Marble" of the Jurassic period and the "Sussex Marble" of the early Cretaceous period, which both occur in southern England, are limestones containing the tightly packed remains of the pond snail Viviparus. Gastropods with siphons tend to be either predators or scavengers. Organs of the pallial complex are re-oriented (in relation to their positions in a conjectural primitive mollusk) as the result of “torsion,” which in some forms is a definite episode observable in early ontogeny, and in others is inferred to have taken place in ancestral forms, although omitted in a condensed ontogeny.

In the older classification of the gastropods, there were four subclasses:[30]. Furthermore, the anus becomes redirected to the same space as the head. The number of gastropod species can be ascertained from estimates of the number of described species of Mollusca with accepted names: about 85,000 (minimum 50,000, maximum 120,000). Gastropods have a worldwide distribution, from the near Arctic and Antarctic zones to the tropics. Class Aplacophora includes worm-like animals with no shell and a rudimentary body structure. This is usually made of a horn-like material, but in some molluscs it is calcareous. In the case of the Gastropoda, the taxonomy is now gradually being rewritten to embody strictly monophyletic groups (only one lineage of gastropods in each group). Gastropods underwent torsion to develop a coiled, asymmetric shell and anterior mantle cavity. Land-dwelling species can chew up leaves, bark, fruit and decomposing animals while marine species can scrape algae off the rocks on the sea floor. The foot of these creeping animals is extremely muscular, penetrated by nerves, and capable of generating one, two, or four laterally adjacent contraction waves.…. Fossil gastropods were less common during the Palaeozoic era than bivalves. The sensory organs of gastropods include olfactory organs, eyes, statocysts and mechanoreceptors. However, the taxonomy of the Gastropoda is constantly being revised and so the versions shown in various texts can differ in major ways. [33], In the 2017 issue of the Malacologia journal (available online from 4 January 2018), a significantly updated version of the 2005 "Bouchet & Rocroi" taxonomy was published in the paper "Revised Classification, Nomenclator and Typification of Gastropod and Monoplacophoran Families".

[28], One of the earliest known terrestrial (land-dwelling) gastropods is Maturipupa, which is found in the Coal Measures of the Carboniferous period in Europe, but relatives of the modern land snails are rare before the Cretaceous period, when the familiar Helix first appeared. & Tagaro S.P. The anatomy, behavior, feeding, and reproductive adaptations of gastropods vary significantly from one clade or group to another, so stating many generalities for all gastropods is difficult.

In one large group of sea slugs, the gills are arranged as a rosette of feathery plumes on their backs, which gives rise to their other name, nudibranchs. The diversity of the gastropods increased markedly at the beginning of this era, along with that of the bivalves. The essential feature of this asymmetry is that the anus generally lies to one side of the median plane. Since Darwin, biological taxonomy has attempted to reflect the phylogeny of organisms, i.e., the tree of life. A cladogram showing the phylogenic relationships of Gastropoda with example species:[29]. Pteropods and sea slugs are typical opisthobranchs. The operculum is attached to the foot of the snail, and when it pu… The foot of a gastropod is a flat structure used for crawling. a radula normally is present. Bouchet & Rocroi (2005)[3][31] made sweeping changes in the systematics, resulting in a taxonomy that is a step closer to the evolutionary history of the phylum. Additional organs of excretion, at least in some species, include pericardial glands in the body cavity, and digestive glands opening into the stomach.

The class Gastropoda includes Mollusca with a distinct head, which in unspecialized forms has eyes and tentacles and is more or less fused with the foot, typically solelike and adapted for creeping, but much modified in pelagic and some other forms. These classes are distinguished by, among other criteria, the presence and types of shells they possess. Found inside – Page 10Oligocene Lower Ngeremlengui Formation ?

Convergent evolution, which appears to exist at especially high frequency in gastropods, may account for the observed differences between the older phylogenies, which were based on morphological data, and more recent gene-sequencing studies. Harrison (1992). freshwater; and terrestrial habitats.
