Carl Agardh Westerlund
Carl Agardh Westerlund (12 January 1831 – 28 February 1908 in Ronneby) was a Swedish malacologist. Biography Westerlund was born at Berga in Kalmar County, Sweden. He became a student in Uppsala University in 1853 and studied at Lund University where he received his bachelor's degree in 1860 and became a Ph.D. in 1862. He worked as a temporary teacher in Malmö in 1858–1859 and in Landskrona 1860–1862, and was a teacher at the high school in Ronneby from 1862 to 1893. in Nordisk Familjebok, vol. 32 (1921), col. 43-44 Westerlund contributed much to the knowledge of the land and freshwater molluscs of the |
Species
A species () is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction. It is the basic unit of Taxonomy (biology), classification and a taxonomic rank of an organism, as well as a unit of biodiversity. Other ways of defining species include their karyotype, DNA sequence, morphology (biology), morphology, behaviour, or ecological niche. In addition, palaeontologists use the concept of the chronospecies since fossil reproduction cannot be examined. The most recent rigorous estimate for the total number of species of eukaryotes is between 8 and 8.7 million. About 14% of these had been described by 2011. All species (except viruses) are given a binomial nomenclature, two-part name, a "binomen". The first part of a binomen is the name of a genus to which the species belongs. The second part is called the specific name (zoology), specific name or the specific ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Land Snail
A land snail is any of the numerous species of snail that live on land, as opposed to the sea snails and freshwater snails. ''Land snail'' is the common name for terrestrial molluscs, terrestrial gastropod mollusks that have gastropod shell, shells (those without shells are known as slugs). However, it is not always easy to say which species are terrestrial, because some are more or less amphibious between land and fresh water, and others are relatively amphibious between land and salt water. Land snails are a Polyphyly, polyphyletic group comprising at least ten independent evolutionary transitions to terrestrial life (the last common ancestor of all gastropods was marine). The majority of land snails are pulmonates that have a lung and breathe air. Most of the non-pulmonate land snails belong to lineages in the Caenogastropoda, and tend to have a gill and an operculum (gastropod), operculum. The largest clade of non-pulmonate land snails is the Cyclophoroidea, with more than 7,0 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bolesław Kotula
Bolesław Kotula (27 October 1849 – 19 August 1898) was a Polish naturalist and teacher. He made extensive studies of the flora and fauna of the Przemyśl area and contributed especially to knowledge of the plant and mollusc distributions in the Carpathians. Life and work Kotula was born in Cieszyn, the son of Andrzej Kotula and Anna née Tetla. He had siblings: Jerzy, Ludmiła Anna, Ludomir, and Rudolf. He also had a half-sister, Emilia, from his mother's first marriage. After graduating from secondary school in Cieszyn in 1868 he went to the University of Vienna and studied medicine before transferring to physics. In 1871 he was a student at the Jagiellonian University The Jagiellonian University (, UJ) is a public research university in Kraków, Poland.

List Of Non-marine Molluscs Of The Czech Republic
This is a list of the non-marine molluscs of the Czech Republic. That country is land-locked and therefore it has no marine molluscs, only land and freshwater species, including snails, slugs, freshwater clams and freshwater mussels. There are 247 species of Mollusca, molluscs living in the wild in the Czech Republic. In addition there are at least 11 gastropod species surviving in greenhouses. There are 219 Gastropoda, gastropod species (50 freshwater and 169 land species) and 28 Bivalvia, bivalve species living in the wild. There are also 11 Introduced species, introduced gastropod species (5 freshwater and 7 land species) and 4 bivalve species living in the wild in the Czech Republic. This is a total of 9 freshwater non-indigenous species living in natural habitats. Summary table of number of species There are 2 endemic (ecology), endemic species of molluscs in the Czech Republic: *''Alzoniella slovenica'' in Moravia (and in Slovakia too) *''Bulgarica nitidosa'' in Bohemia. ...
