The 2010 taxonomy is known as the Taxonomy of the Bivalvia (Bouchet, Rocroi, Bieler, Carter & Coan, 2010) [citation needed]. The 2010 taxonomy was published as Nomenclator of Bivalve Families with a Classification of Bivalve Families. [1] This was a revised system for classifying bivalve mollusks such as clams, oysters, scallops, mussels and so on.

Bivalvia (/ b aɪ ˈ v æ l v i ə /) or bivalves, in previous centuries referred to as the Lamellibranchiata and Pelecypoda, is a class of aquatic molluscs (marine and freshwater) that have laterally compressed soft bodies enclosed by a calcified exoskeleton consisting of a hinged pair of half-shells known as valves.
Anomalodesmata is an superorder of saltwater clams, marine bivalve molluscs. [2] This grouping was formerly recognised as a taxonomic subclass . It is called a superorder in the current World Register of Marine Species , despite having no orders, to parallel it with sister taxon Imparidentia , which does have orders.
In 2010 a new proposed classification system for the Bivalvia was published by Bieler, Carter & Coan revising the classification of the Bivalvia, including the subclass Pteriomorphia. [8] However, the following taxonomy represents the current accepted arrangement of this subclass according to the World Register of Marine Species [ 9 ]
Some drug classes have been amalgamated from these three principles to meet practical needs. The class of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is one such example. Strictly speaking, and also historically, the wider class of anti-inflammatory drugs also comprises steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. These drugs were in fact the ...
The Limidae or file shells are members of the only family of bivalve molluscs in the order Limida. [1] The family includes 130 living species, assigned to 10 genera.Widely distributed in all seas from shallow to deep waters, the species are usually epifaunal or nestling, with many species building byssal nests for protection.
