Abstract:
This study examines the effect of water temperature on the formation of shell sculpture in young molluscs of the genus Hiatella. The larvae of H. arctica and H. gallicana were maintained under laboratory conditions at different temperature regimes. The animals were reared from late veligers to juveniles with a shell length of 700 μm. The results of the experiment showed that the shell sculpture, which is a diagnostic species character, was developed to various degrees at different temperatures. The larvae of each species grew to juveniles with variously pronounced shell sculptures ranging from

Abstract:
Asymmetric sculpture in the form of tubercles or ridges on the shells of large (mean shell length ~60 mm) turritelliform gastropods has previously been shown to enhance efficiency of the shell as a penetration anchor in burrowing through coarse sediment. The small (<8 mm) turritelliform shells of all species of Argyropeza (Family Cerithiidae) have both of these ratchetlike sculptural features. Four lines of evidence from Lower Pleistocene A. divina and A. schepmaniana from Fiji support the interpretation that they help resist back-slippage: cross-orientation, frictional asymmetry, allometri

Abstract:
Many bivalves and brachiopods possess multilayered shells. In one such bivalve, Mytiloides ipuanus (Wellman, 1959) (Inoceramidae), the mineralized shell comprises an outer prismatic calcite layer and an inner nacreous aragonite layer. Each of the three shell surfaces—the external, internal, and shell layers' interface—has a distinct sculpture. Pronounced costae on the shell interface are “cryptic” in the sense that, in life, they would have been barely expressed on the internal surface and only expressed as comparatively weak, broad, rounded costae on the external surface.

The study of Nicaraguan land snails is fragmentary. Recent sampling produced specimens of an undetermined species of Pseudopeas Putzeys, 1899.

Baker (1927) named a new subgenus Dysopeas for species where the spiral sculpture covers the entire shell, not only the nepionic whorls.

Abstract The Viviparidae, commonly known as River Snails, is a dominant group of freshwater snails with a nearly worldwide distribution that reaches its highest taxonomic and morphological diversity in Southeast Asia. The rich fossil record is indicative of a probable Middle Jurassic origin on the Laurasian supercontinent where the group started to diversify during the Cretaceous. However, it remains uncertain when and how the biodiversity hotspot in Southeast Asia was formed.

Abstract:
There are currently eleven Geotrochus and four Trochomorpha species in Sabah. The primary diagnostic character that separates the two genera is the intensity of sculpture on the shell upper surface. All Trochomorpha species have a coarse nodular sculpture while Geotrochus species has a non-nodular sculpture or smooth shell. However, it is known that shell characters are often evolutionary labile with high plasticity in response to environmental factors. Hence, identifying the phylogenetic and ecological determinants for the shell characters will shed light on the shell-based taxonomy. This stu

The specifications for the disintegration of the designed core-body formula fall within the parameters that are normally set and used in the ceramic shell art bronze casting process. The raison d’ être for the disintegrating formula is based on the premise that cement breaks down (spalling) after being subjected to heat above a certain temperature. It was shown that pur

How does a person with a multi-faceted ethnic identity interpret the colonization of the Americas?

We consider surfaces with a global shape condition: they shall be interpretable as graphs of bivariate functions or shall be star-shaped with respect to a point. If those surfaces satisfy a local millability criterion involving curvature information, it is proved that this implies globally gouge-free milling. The proofs are based on general offset surfaces. The results can be applied to tool-motion planning and the computation of optimal cutter shapes.
