Exploring land snails’ response to habitat characteristics and their potential as bioindicators of riparian forest quality

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2021
Riparian ecosystems are crucial for landscape-level biodiversity, especially in highly anthropic and agricultural areas. Although the low mobility of snails reduces their dispersal capacity and makes them vulnerable to habitat degradation, they are less ...

Land Snail Assemblages of Olive Orchards in Crete, Greece

open access: yesDiversity, 2022
Land snail biodiversity research in agroecosystems is limited, if non-existent. Here we investigate the land snail assemblages of olive orchards in Messara plain, Crete, Greece. Land snails were collected from 16 olive orchards. In addition, we performed

Land snail microclimate niches identify suitable areas for climate refugia management on a montane landscape

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2021
Climate refugia management is an emerging natural resource sub-discipline but identifying which species would benefit, their climatic requirements, and where both species and suitable conditions are located remains problematic.

Pontophaedusa funiculum (Mousson, 1856) (Gastropoda: Eupulmonata: Clausiliidae) lived in captivity for 15 years [PDF]

open access: yesMalacologica Bohemoslovaca, 2021
A specimen of the clausiliid snail Pontophaedusa funiculum (Mousson, 1856) was kept alive for 15 years after it was collected as an adult. This is the longest direct observation of the lifespan in the Clausiliidae, and one of the longest in all land ...

Metabolism of cholecalciferol in land snails [PDF]

open access: yesBiochemical Journal, 1979
1. Radioactively labelled cholecalciferol was injected into the land snails Levantina hiersolyma and Theba pisana. Three metabolites (C, D and E), more polar than cholecalciferol, were found. 2. Metabolite C was found to be identical with 25-hydroxycholecalciferol.
