测定了21种蝶科170个贝壳的抗压强度。一般来说，热带贝壳比温带贝壳坚固得多。这种强度主要是由于热带地区的贝壳较厚，因此给动物留出的空间较小。
The crushing strength of 170 specimens of shells of 21 species of Thaididae has been measured. In general, the tropical shells are much stronger, mass for mass, than the temperate ones. This strength is achieved mainly by the shells being thicker walled in the tropics, thereby leaving less room for the animal inside.
