Meaning of "lamellibranchiata" in English

"Lamellibranchiata" refers to a subclass of bivalve mollusks, characterized by their two-part shells connected by a hinge. These organisms, such as clams, oysters, and mussels, have sheet-like gills for respiration and feeding. The term "lamellibranchiata" is derived from the Latin words "lamella," meaning thin plate, and "branchia," meaning gill. This classification is now largely obsolete in scientific contexts, having been replaced by more modern terms and taxonomy. However, it remains a historical reference in zoological literature when discussing these aquatic creatures.

Meaning of "lamellibranchiata" in French

In French, "lamellibranchiata" also denotes a category of bivalve mollusks, especially those with lamellate, or plate-like gills, used in both breathing and filtering food. These creatures include diverse species such as oysters, clams, and mussels. Comparable to its English usage, the term is rooted in older scientific classifications and is rarely employed in contemporary biological taxonomy. The historical context retains significance for understanding the development of marine biology and the study of mollusks within scientific history.
