玉螺科(學名:Naticidae)是一個微小到大型捕食性海螺的一個科,都是玉黍螺類支序的海洋腹足綱軟體動物。本科物種的螺殼大多呈球體狀(包括有:圓球形、卵球形及耳形[2])。其物種可食用[3]。 玉螺科是玉螺總科的唯一一個分類單元。 目录 1 分佈及多樣性 2 棲息地 3 習性 4 分類學 4.1 傳統分類 4.2 2005年分類 4.3 2017年分類 4.4 亞科與屬 5 參考文獻 6 延伸閱讀 7 外部連結 分佈及多樣性 現時世上估計有約260到270個現生的玉螺科物種[1]。這些物種估計最早出現於三疊紀後期或侏羅紀早期[1],其螺殼的獨特型態或捕食行為都可將牠們與其他物種分辨過[1]。 本科物種廣泛分佈於全世界。無論是在物種的數量以至到屬的數量,玉螺科的多樣性在熱帶地區都很高;即使如此,本科物種亦廣泛分佈於溫帶及南北極的水域[1]。 棲息地 本科物種皆棲息於沙質 substrates, at a great variety of depths depending on the species (from the intertidal zone to thousands of meters in depth)[1]。They are often seen ploughing along in the sand searching for prey. 習性 ">播放媒体 50-second video of snails (most likely Natica chemnitzi and Cerithium muscarum) feeding on the sea floor in the Gulf of California, Puerto Peñasco, Mexico.
