Botanically, a type of single-seeded fruit in which the pericarp enclosing the seed is a hard woody shell. In common usage the term is used loosely for any hard, oil-rich kernel. Of those commonly eaten, only hazel, filbert, and chestnut are strictly nuts. Walnuts, pecans, almonds, and coconuts are really drupes. Brazil nuts, pistachios, macadamias, and cashews are really seeds with a hard shell derived from the testa rather than the pericarp.

Differences in predatory pressure on terrestrial snails by birds and mammals. (7/73)

The evolution of shell polymorphism in terrestrial snails is a classic textbook example of the effect of natural selection in which avian and mammalian predation represents an important selective force on gene frequency. However, many questions about predation remain unclear, especially in the case of mammals. We collected 2000 specimens from eight terrestrial gastropod species to investigate the predation pressure exerted by birds and mice on snails. We found evidence of avian and mammalian predation in 26.5% and 36.8% of the shells. Both birds and mammals were selective with respect to snail species, size and morphs. Birds preferred the brown-lipped banded snail Cepaea nemoralis (L.) and mice preferred the burgundy snail Helix pomatia L. Mice avoided pink mid-banded C. nemoralis and preferred brown mid-banded morphs, which were neglected by birds. In contrast to mice, birds chose larger individuals. Significant differences in their predatory pressure can influence the evolution and maintenance of shell size and polymorphism of shell colouration in snails. (+info)

Cone shell snails come equipped with an extendable "arm" -complete with a sharp, venomous tooth-that they use to immobilize and kill prey. (mentalfloss.com)
The mollusc (or mollusk) shell is typically a calcareous exoskeleton which encloses, supports and protects the soft parts of an animal in the phylum Mollusca, which includes snails, clams, tusk shells, and several other classes. (wikipedia.org)

Engineers looking to nature for inspiration have long assumed that layered structures like those found in mollusk shells enhance a material's toughness, but a study shows that's not always the case. (brown.edu)

Silvery eyes line the edges of the shells of scallops, helping them sense light and movement. (whoi.edu)
The octopi would wrap their tentacles around the outer edges of the shells, and using suction, carry the coconuts around doing a comical tiptoe walk on the ends of their tentacles. (findingdulcinea.com)

The veined octopus, for example, dons a suit of armour made of coconut shells. (scienceblogs.com)

Shrilk uses a structurally strong polysaccharide made from shrimp shells called chitosan (which can also be made from snail and clam shells) and a protein derived from silk called fibroin, layering them together just like in nature. (livescience.com)
Bones, clam shells, and teeth are structured in a similar way out of a mixture of organic and inorganic material. (scientificinquirer.com)

Only the parts of organisms that were already mineralized are usually preserved, such as the shells of mollusks. (thefullwiki.org)
Mollusks pull the soft portion of their bodies into their shells and seal the entry with their operculum. (wikibooks.org)

Calcium carbonates constitute the shells of molluscs (see Mollusc shell ), brachiopods , and some tube-building polychaete worms. (thefullwiki.org)
The sea water corrodes aragonite, a type of calcium carbonate that the pteropods use to form shells when the water is pushed from a depth of around 1,000m toward the surface. (natureworldnews.com)
It secrets calcium carbonate to create the shell. (wikibooks.org)
Shells are formed when the animal secretes calcium carbonate from the mantel. (wikibooks.org)
The calcium carbonate hardens into a shell. (wikibooks.org)
Egg-shell calcium (Ca) is one of the effective Ca sources for bone metabolism. (nih.gov)
In the present study, we investigated whether egg-shell Ca had similar effects compared with calcium carbonate (CaCO3) when vitamin D3 (1alpha(OH)D3) treatment was given to an osteoporotic rat model. (nih.gov)
The most popular and reliable medium for making sure your hens get enough calcium in their diet is oyster shell grit. (clearoffminerals.com)
Oyster shell grit is used to provide birds with enough calcium to produce strong bones and good egg shells. (clearoffminerals.com)
However, if a hen already suffers from lack of calcium there's unlikely to be enough in her own shells to supplement her needs. (clearoffminerals.com)
Making egg shells takes a lot of calcium, and some laying hens create one egg each day. (clearoffminerals.com)
If a hen doesn't have enough in her diet, her body will steal calcium from her bones to create the egg shell. (clearoffminerals.com)
Lack of calcium in the diet can also lead to soft-shelled eggs, which in turn can lead to egg-binding, a potentially fatal condition. (clearoffminerals.com)
She therefore needs to be offered additional calcium in her diet - and oyster shell is an excellent source. (clearoffminerals.com)
That not only makes seawater more acidic, it makes carbonate less readily available for corals, shellfish, and some plankton to build their calcium-carbonate shells or skeletons. (whoi.edu)
Twelve to 24 hours after fertilization, the larvae begin the critical task of using calcium and carbonate to calcify a shell. (whoi.edu)
A Mercy For Animals investigator went undercover at a U.S. egg factory and found live hens kept in tiny cages with decomposing birds, animals with open wounds, and chickens so calcium deficient they laid eggs without shells. (serbiananimalsvoice.com)
As a result, their bones often become brittle, and some birds have so little calcium left in their bodies they lay eggs without shells . (serbiananimalsvoice.com)
One very common feature is a protective shell that is made from calcium carbonate, chitin and other various proteins. (reference.com)

Shell also raised its cash flow outlook to $30 billion from $25 billion by 2020, assuming an oil price of $60 a barrel. (reuters.com)

[ 3 ] The most significant limitation is that, although there are 30-plus phyla of living animals, two-thirds of these phyla have never been found as fossils, because most animal species are soft-bodied and decay before they can become fossilized. (thefullwiki.org)
The shell of the turtle is an important study, not just because of the obvious protection it provides for the animal, but also as an identification tool, in particular with fossils as the shell is one of the likely parts of a turtle to survive fossilization. (wikipedia.org)
Hence understanding the structure of the shell in living species gives us comparable material with fossils. (wikipedia.org)
How much are fossils worth in Animal Crossing? (answers.com)
How much is shell fossils worth? (answers.com)

Unbroken, clean, fresh shell eggs may contain Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) bacteria that can cause foodborne illness. (usda.gov)
The eggs of birds, animals that arose some 100 million years later, are a refined version of this reproductive adaptation to life on land. (usda.gov)
It is also possible for eggs to become infected by Salmonella Enteritidis fecal contamination through the pores of the shells after they're laid. (usda.gov)
Contamination of eggs may be due to bacteria within the hen's reproductive tract before the shell forms around the yolk and white. (usda.gov)
However, in-shell pasteurized eggs may be used safely without cooking. (usda.gov)
What government agencies are responsible for the safety of shell eggs? (usda.gov)
Many government agencies cooperate to ensure the safety of shell eggs from farm to table. (usda.gov)
AMS is responsible for the Shell Egg Surveillance Program to assure that eggs in the marketplace are as good as or better than U.S. Consumer Grade B quality standards. (usda.gov)
AMS also administers a voluntary egg-quality grading program for shell eggs paid for by processing plants. (usda.gov)
This report describes four SE outbreaks during 1994-1995 associated with consumption of raw shell eggs (i.e., unpasteurized eggs) and underscores that outbreaks of egg-associated SE infections remain a public health problem. (cdc.gov)
Cultures of pooled whole raw shell eggs, egg whites, and raw shell eggs from the same shipment as the implicated eggs did not yield Salmonella. (cdc.gov)
The hollandaise sauce was prepared on August 28 by hand-cracking and pooling the egg yolks from 36 extra-large grade A raw shell eggs. (cdc.gov)
Traceback of the implicated eggs by DCCPH, the Maryland Veterinary Service, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA's) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) identified two flocks in Pennsylvania as possible sources for the eggs. (cdc.gov)
The baked eggs were prepared by hand-cracking and pooling 180 medium grade A raw shell eggs, mixing the eggs with a hand whisk, and baking them in a single 8-inch deep pan at 400 F (204 C) for 45 minutes-1 hour. (cdc.gov)
At the time of the investigation, none of the prepared eggs or raw shell eggs from the same shipment were available for testing. (cdc.gov)
Investigations of outbreaks and sporadic cases have indicated repeatedly that, when a food vehicle is identified, the most common sources of SE infection are undercooked and raw shell eggs ( 3,4 ). (cdc.gov)
This report describes two SE outbreaks associated with eating shell eggs and underscores the need to strengthen SE-control measures. (cdc.gov)

Included in the article are sea otters that use stones to free abalone shells from rocks and smash them open, elephants that drop logs on electric fences to short them out and macaques that floss using hair they have pulled from the heads of tourists. (findingdulcinea.com)

If border shelling intensifies, we will evacuate people to safer places under the plan," he said. (kashmirtimes.com)

Around 250 million years ago, the earliest fully land-dwelling animals, the reptiles, developed a self-contained egg with a tough, leathery skin that prevented fatal water loss. (usda.gov)

Carbonates in shells dissolve more when temperatures are cold and pressure is high, which are the characteristic properties of the deep ocean," Dr Geraint Tarling, head of Ocean Ecosystems at the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) and co-author of the report, told BBC. (natureworldnews.com)

Other marine animals, like clams and oysters, rely on the same ions to thrive. (livescience.com)
The same goes for clams: If the animals need to adapt the properties of their shell to different environmental conditions, they normally have to rework the material in a lengthy and energetically costly process, by resorbing and redistributing minerals. (scientificinquirer.com)

Their most promising solution, so far, is a polymer derived from shrimp shells. (pddnet.com)
Everitt and her colleagues are currently testing a polymer derived from the organic compound chitin, a derivative of glucose found in the shells of shrimp, crabs and lobsters. (pddnet.com)
The research team developed the polymer by dissolving chitosan flakes -- derived from shrimp shells -- in a solution before a plastic film is deposited using traditional polymer processing techniques. (pddnet.com)
There are more than 52,000 species of Crustaceans in the world which include popular marine animals like lobsters, crabs, shrimp, crayfish and barnacles. (howstuffworks.com)

The success of Balanomorph barnacles depends on the firm attachment provided by their secreted adhesive and the protection imparted by their heavily calcified outer shell plates. (frontiersin.org)
This glut of greenhouse gases not only warms the ocean (contributing to more-frequent heat waves and severe weather), but also changes the water's chemistry, slowly acidifying it and reducing the concentration of molecular building blocks that shellfish, corals and other marine life use to craft their hard outer shells. (livescience.com)
When the shell is injured at the peristome before the animal is adult, both the outer non-calcareous layer 'periostracum' or 'epidermis' and the calcareous layers internal to it are repaired: when at any other spot, or after the animal is adult, only the latter, and in this case the shell is thickened internally. (chestofbooks.com)
The spiral shell, as in all Gastropoda with few exceptions, is a secondary shell, i. e. formed on the outer surface of the mantle, and not from the shell-gland of the embryo. (chestofbooks.com)
The shell is deposited within a small compartment, the extrapallial space, which is sealed from the environment by the periostracum, a leathery outer layer around the rim of the shell, where growth occurs. (wikipedia.org)
