Sea butterfly pseudoconch The group is known within the fossil record from shells of those groups within the clade that mineralized. [ 12 ] [ 13 ] These carbonate shells are a major contributor to the oceanic carbon cycle, making up as much as 12% of global carbonate flux. [ 3 ]
Location of Malaysia Peninsular Malaysia. This is a list of butterflies of Peninsular Malaysia.About 1,180 species are known from Peninsular Malaysia. [1] The environment of Malaysia is varied and Malaysia's ecology is megadiverse, with a biodiverse range of flora and fauna found in various ecoregions throughout the country.
The group Pteropoda was established by Cuvier as "ptéropodes" in 1804. [4] François Péron and Charles Alexandre Lesueur thought the group to be larger, and so they also included the opisthobranch taxa (Phyllirhoë and Glaucus), the heteropoda taxa (Carinaria and Firola), and even the Ctenophora ().
The superfamily Cavolinioidea is the most speciose group of sea butterflies. They belong to the suborder Euthecosomata. [1] Sea butterflies (thecosomata) are pelagic marine gastropods, so called because they swim by flapping their wing-like parapodia.
The sea butterfly uses a high angle of attack of approximately 45-50 degrees to generate lift, and it beats its wings 4 to 10 times per second. It propels itself using a version of the clap and fling mechanism described by Torkel Weis-Fogh in small insects such as thrips .
Sea butterfly pseudoconch The group was originally referred to as the Pseudothecosomata Meisenheimer, 1905, although this name is invalid under the ICZN and thus is no longer recognized. [ 1 ] Instead its three families are categorized within the superfamily Cymbulioidea, which is itself part of the clade Thecosomata.
Malaysia's exclusive economic zone is 1.5 times larger than its land area, [14] and some of its waters are in the Coral Triangle, a biodiversity hotspot. [15] The waters around Sipadan island are the most biodiverse in the world. [1] Bordering East Malaysia, the Sulu Sea is a
