Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliche Fakultät, Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen (Tübingen, Germany). E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Sandelzhausen is an Early/Middle Miocene (Mammal Neogene zone MN5) fossil site near Mainburg, S Germany, and despite its small size it harbors a rich fossil record. Hundreds of fossil continental mollusks, almost exclusively pulmo- nates snails, were recovered during the excavations, but never received due attention by researchers. Here, the second part of a formal taxonomical treatment of the fossil pulmonates from Sandelzhausen is presented, dealing with the superfam- ilies Succineoidea, Testacelloidea and Helicoidea, and including the description of a new hygromiid species. The follow- ing species were found in the material: Succinea minima (Succineidae); Palaeoglandina sp. (Spiraxidae); Testacella zellii (Testacellidae); Klikia cf. coarctata (Elonidae); Cepaea cf. eversa, Cepaea cf. sylvestrina and Tropidomphalus cf. incras- satus (Helicidae); ?Helicodonta sp. and Helicodontidae indet. (Helicodontidae); Leucochroopsis kleinii and Urticicola perchtae sp. nov. (Hygromiidae). Key words: Gastropoda, MN5 European Mammal Neogene zone, Pulmonata, Stylommatophora, Urticicola perchtae new species Introduction The Sandelzhausen fossil site is one of the most important continental sites in Europe (Moser et al. 2009a) and its bounty include hundreds of specimens of gastropods.

    Chapter 6 Research Activities 6-2 Euglandina rosea (Stylommatophora: Spiraxidae) Problem statement: The rosey wolfsnail, (Euglandina rosea), a medium, pink-hued, predatory land snail, is native to the southeast United States. Purposely brought to Hawai‘i in 1955 to serve as a biocontrol, E. rosea failed to reduce populations of its intended target, the giant African snail, Achatina fulca. A generalist predator, E. rosea proved adept at finding prey in varied habitats, including native forests, where it became associated with the decline and endangerment of endemic snail species. Native snail populations in Maritius and French Polynesia responded similarly to E. rosea invasion. Goals: Examine the feeding behavior and ecology of E. rosea in native Hawaiian forest, assess their impacts on native snails based on population numbers and use results to aid in the development of an effective control program. Action: Occasionally, NRS provide funds and field assistance to University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa (UH) graduate students whose projects achieve OANRP goals. One such project, addressing problems associated with E. rosea, has been underway for one year and OANRP has committed to supporting this research through the upcoming year. Research is carried out by Wallace Martin Meyer III (UH, Center for Conservation Research and Training) as part of his PhD thesis. NRS assists in monthly field surveys for E. rosea and collect E. rosea and (non-native) prey items for use in feeding experiments. Results from year one of this project, written by W. M. Meyer, appear in Appendix 10. Proposed research for the upcoming year includes an investigation of E.

For this reason we are led to establish a qualitative and quantitative inventory of snails at 4 stations at different altitudes ( along transect from the sea to the mountains). This work foc uses on the identification of the different species and their presence and abundance at several stations in the region. Sampling is performed on a surfa ce of 100 m2, during a period from June 2012 to May 2013. The sampling method used is hunting for sweet, wet weather in sight. Land snails are also recovered on boards previously raised, which have serve d their shelter.

    FULL ACCOUNT FOR: Euglandina rosea Euglandina rosea System: Terrestrial Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Animalia Mollusca Gastropoda Stylommatophora Spiraxidae Common name Rosige Wolfsschnecke (German), rosy wolf snail (English), cannibal snail (English) Synonym Similar species Summary The carnivorous rosy wolfsnail Euglandina rosea was introduced to Indian and Pacific Ocean Islands from the 1950s onwards as a biological control agent for the giant African snail (Achatina fulica). E. rosea is not host specific meaning that native molluscs species are at risk of expatriatioin or even extinction if this mollusc-eating snail is introduced. Partulid tree snails of the French Polynesian Islands were particularly affected; having evolved separately from each other in isolated valleys, many Partulid tree snails have been lost and today almost all the survivors exist only in zoos. view this species on IUCN Red List Species Description The shell is large (up to 76 mm in height, 27.5 mm in diameter), thick and has prominent growth lines (University of Florida 2009). The shape of the shell is fusiform with a narrow ovate-lunate aperture and a truncated columella; typically, the shell color is brownish-pink (University of Florida 2009). Adult Euglandina grow from about seven to 10 cm long (Clifford et al. 2003). Habitat Description Euglandina rosea is usually found singly in hardwood forests, roadsides and urban gardens in its native range in Florida (Hubricht 1985, University of Florida 2009). Reproduction Euglandina rosea is a cross-fertilising egg-laying hermaphrodite. Chiu and Chou (1962, in Univeristy of Florida 2009) gave details of the biology of Euglandina in Taiwan. Individuals live up to 24 months.
