Everything about Malacology totally explained
Malacology is the branch of
invertebrate zoology which deals with the study of
mollusks, the second-largest
phylum of animals in terms of described
species. One division of malacology,
conchology, is devoted to the study of the shells of mollusks.
Fields of malacological research include
taxonomy,
ecology, and
evolution. Applied malacology studies medical, veterinary, and agricultural applications, for example mollusks as mediators of such diseases as
schistosomiasis.
Archaeology employs malacology to understand the evolution of the
climate, the biota of the area, and the usage of the site.
In 1794, the first compilation of mollusks was published. In 1868, the German Malacological Society was founded.
