''Teredo'' is a genus of highly modified saltwater clams which bore in wood and live within the tunnels they create. They are commonly known as "shipworms," and are marine bivalve molluscs in the taxonomic family Teredinidae. The type species is ''Teredo navalis''.〔 Because it is a tunneling genus, ''Teredo'' was chosen as the namesake of the Teredo network tunneling protocol. HMS ''Teredo'', a submarine, may also have been named after this genus, which works invisibly, below the surface, and can be very damaging to marine installations made of wood. ==Species== Species within the genus ''Teredo'' include: * ''Teredo aegypos'' Moll, 1941 * ''Teredo bartschi'' Clapp, 1923 * ''Teredo bitubula'' Li, 1965 * ''Teredo clappi'' Bartsch, 1923 * ''Teredo fulleri'' Clapp, 1924 * ''Teredo furcifera'' Martens in Semon, 1894 * ''Teredo johnsoni'' Clapp, 1924 * ''Teredo mindanensis'' Bartsch, 1923 * ''Teredo navalis'' Linnaeus, 1758 * ''Teredo poculifer'' Iredale, 1936 * ''Teredo portoricensis'' Clapp, 1924 * ''Teredo somersi'' Clapp, 1924 * ''Teredo triangularis'' Edmondson, 1942 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Teredo (bivalve)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
