La gaviota reidora (Chroicocephalus ridibundus, antes Larus ridibundus) es una especie de ave Charadriiforme de la familia Laridae. Es una pequeña gaviota que habita regiones de Europa y Asia, así como la costa oriental de Canadá. La mayor parte de las poblaciones de gaviota reidora son migratorias en el tiempo invernal hacia latitudes meridionales aunque también se encuentran comunidades residentes en las zonas más cálidas de Europa Occidental. Otras poblaciones se de less ↑

La gaviota patiamarilla (Larus michahellis) es una especie de ave Charadriiforme de la familia Laridae. Pertenece al grupo de las gaviotas de talla mediana, de manto gris y patas amarillas. Algunos especialistas consideran la especie como una subespecie mediterránea de la gaviota argéntea, y otros apuntan que es una subespecie de la gaviota del Caspio, el debate sigue abierto. Esta especie, donde se establece, desplaza a cualquier otra gaviota autóctona por su agresividad y t less ↑

Is a taxonomic subclass of saltwater clams, marine bivalve molluscs. This subclass includes the edible clams, the cockles and the Venus clams. These bivalves are distinguished by having the two halves of the shell equally sized (i.e, they are equivalved), and having a few cardinal teeth separated from a number of long lateral teeth. Their shells lack a nacreous layer, and the gills are lamellibranch in form. Most species have a siphon.

Is a subclass of saltwater clams, marine bivalve mollusks.[1] It contains several major orders, including the Arcoida, Ostreoida, Pectinoida, Limoida, Mytiloida, and Pterioida. It also contains some extinct and probably basal families, such as the Evyanidae, Colpomyidae, Bakevelliidae, Cassianellidae, and Lithiotidae.

This subclass of mollusks has lamellibranch gills, and isepibenthic. Some attach to the substrate using a byssus. The foot is reduced. The mantle margins are not fused. Gills are usually large and assist in feeding. This group includes the well known mussels, scallops, pen shells, and oysters.[2] It also includes the only members of the class bivalvia to have rudimentary eyes. less ↑

Is a subclass of bivalve molluscs.[1] It contains the extant orders Unionoida (freshwater mussels) and Trigonioida. They are distinguished by having the two halves of the shell be of equal size and shape, but by having the hinge teeth be in a single row, rather than separated into two groups, as they are in the clams and cockles.

Nos referimos a la Subclase Vetigastropoda (Clase Gastropoda/Filum Mollusca) aceptada por WoRMS.
Vetigastropods are considered to be among the most primitive living gastropods,[2] and are widely distributed in all oceans of the world. Their habitats range from the deep sea to intertidal zones. Many have shells with slits or other secondary openings. One of their main characteristics is the presence of intersected crossed platy shell structure.[3] Most vetigastropods have some bilateral asymmetry of their organ systems.[4]
Vetigastropods range in size from approximately 0.08 in (2 mm) long in the case of Scissurelloidea or Skeneoidea, to more than 11.8 in (300 mm) in length, as with the Haliotoidea. External colours and patterns are typically drab, but such groups as the Tricolioidea and some Trochoidea and Pleurotomarioidea have bright colours and glossy shells. The clade is characterized by having an intersected crossed platy shell structure.[3]

Shells range from elongate turret-shaped structures, to near-spherical. Shell sculpture varies greatly from simple concentric growth lines, which may or may not be barely visible on the shell surface, to heavy radial and axial ribbing. The shell aperture is normally oval, and often tangential to the coiling axis. Most species have an operculum (a small lid-like organ). Within the shell, Vetigastropods have a single pair of cephalic tentacles, and a distinct snout containing the mouth. The lateral sides of the body typically have sensory epipodial tentacles.[5]

Nos referimos a la Subclase Caenogastropoda (Clase Gastropoda/Filum Mollusca) aceptada por WoRMS.
Caenogastropoda (from Ancient Greek caeno- meaning "recent") is a taxonomic clade, a large diverse group which are mostly sea snails and other marine gastropod mollusks, but also includes some freshwater snails and some land snails.

Nos referimos a la Subclase Caenogastropoda (Clase Gastropoda/Filum Mollusca).

Caenogastropoda contains many families of shelled marine molluscs – including the periwinkles, cowries, wentletraps, moon snails, murexes, cone snails and turrids – and constitutes about 60% of all living gastropods.[3]

The Caenogastropoda exhibit torsion, and thus are included in what was previously been called the Streptoneura (meaning twisted nerves), also known as Prosobranchia (meaning gills forward). Specifically, they are characterized by having only a single auricle in the heart and a single pair of gill leaflets, and are equivalent to the Monotocardia or Pectinobranchia of older authors.

Nos referimos a la Subclase Patellogastropoda (Clase Gastropoda/Filum Mollusca) aceptada por WoRMS. Patellogastropoda have flattened, cone-shaped shells, and the majority of species are commonly found adhering strongly to rocks or other hard substrates. Many limpet shells are covered in microscopic growths of green marine algae, which can make them even harder to see, as they can closely resemble the rock surface itself.

The substance making up the teeth in the radula of limpets is among the strongest biological materials known, with a tensile strength about five times stronger than that of spider silk. The teeth are composed of goethite, an iron-based mineral, woven in a particular way into grouped 1μ thick bundles.[8][9]

Many limpets create a home "scar" on the rock to which they always return between tides, the scar becoming a perfect fit even for the always growing cone-shaped shell and providing excellent protection from predators as well as helping to prevent dehydration, though dehydration remains one of the greatest risks to which these molluscs are exposed and may be why they only survive in temperate waters, not tropical ones where they simply become too hot during low tides. They adhere to the substratum via the adhesion/ suction of the stiffened foot against the rock surface to which it bonds each time with a layer of pedal mucus.[10]

The majority of limpet species have shells that are less than 3 in (8 cm) in maximum length and many are much smaller than that.

A west Mexican limpet species, the giant limpet, Patella mexicana, is known to grow as large as 8 in (20 cm). This species is now in serious danger of extinction, as it is slow to reach maturity, and has suffered from over collecting, both as a food item and by shell collectors and dealers. less ↑

Los cefalópodos (Cephalopoda, del griego κεφαλή (kephalé), "cabeza" y ποδός (podós), "pie" → pies en la cabeza) son una clase de invertebrados marinos dentro del filo de los moluscos. Existen unas 700 especies, comúnmente llamados pulpos, calamares, sepias y nautilos. Todos pertenecen a la subclase coleoidea, a excepción del nautilos, perteneciente a la subclase Nautilina. less ↑

Los poliplacóforos (Polyplacophora, del griego polýs πολύς, muchas, plax πλαξ, placa o valva y phorós φορός, portador; más la terminación neutra de plural -a), son una clase de moluscos. Existen unas 600 especies, llamadas quitones en los libros por castellanización y generalización del nombre de uno de los géneros más comunes, Chiton. En la lengua común se les llama a veces cucarachas de mar o cochinillas de mar. less ↑

Los gasterópodos, gastrópodos o univalvos (Gastropoda, del griego γαστήρ gaster, "estómago" y ποδη poda, "pie") constituyen la clase más extensa del filo de los Moluscos. Presentan área cefálica (cabeza), un pie musculoso ventral y una concha dorsal (que puede reducirse o hasta perderse en los gasterópodos más evolucionados); además, cuando son larvas, sufren el fenómeno de torsión, que es el giro de la masa visceral sobre el pie y la cabeza.

Presentan un caparazón con dos valvas laterales, generalmente simétricas, unidas por una bisagra y ligamentos. Dichas valvas se cierran por acción de una o dos músculos aductores. less ↑

El correlimos chico (Calidris minuta o Erolia minuta) es un pájaro limícola. Cría en el norte de Europa y Asia, y es una especie migratoria, que hiberna en África y el sur de Asia. En ocasiones llega hasta Norteamérica y Australia. Es un ave gregaria en invierno, a menudo formando grandes bandadas con otras especies de limícolas, especialmente el correlimos común, en marismas costeras o en las riberas de lagos y estanques de agua dulce. less ↑

El correlimos común o playero común (Calidris alpina) es una especie de ave Charadriiforme de la familia Scolopacidae común en las zonas húmedas de Europa. Cría en las regiones del Ártico.
