Taxonomy: For all marine species, Project Gastropods uses the taxonomy in the online database WoRMS. When starting a new article, do not use sources of taxonomic information that predate the 2017 revision for all gastropod groups ("Revised Classification, Nomenclator and Typification of Gastropod and Monoplacophoran Families" by Philippe Bouchet & Jean-Pierre Rocroi, Bernhard Hausdorf, Andrzej Kaim, Yasunori Kano, Alexander Nützel, Pavel Parkhaev, Michael Schrödl and Ellen E. Strong in Malacologia, 2017, 61(1–2): 1–526.) (can be dowloaded at Researchgate.net), substituting the previous classification of 2005 Taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005). If you need help with any aspect of an article, please leave a note at the Project talk page.

A bit confusing

I'm trying to rewrite this sentence, but am having trouble understanding what it means:

The adults are predatory upon the medusae, or free-swimming Cnidaria often commonly but loosely known as jellyfish, in particular the by-the-wind sailor Velella.

Thanks. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 21:51, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much Anna for pointing this out, sorry it took so long for me to notice your comment! I rewrote that sentence; previously it wasn't clear at all. Best, Invertzoo (talk) 22:35, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
