Na základě souhrnných poznatků víme, že mezi nejčastější predátory suchozemských plžů patří brouci, dále dvoukřídlý hmyz, masožraví plži, někteří zástupci obratlovců (např. drobní hlodavci, drozdovití ptáci nebo hadi), sekáči, suchozemské ploštěnky, a další. I přes svou omezenou pohyblivost jsou plži schopni se útokům predátorů bránit, a to především díky přítomnosti schránky a různých přídatných struktur (např. žebírkování, přítomnost zpevněného obústí, vznik lamel a ostnů). Rychlé zatažení do ulity a zvýšená produkce lepivého slizu je v kombinaci s přítomností schránky základní obrannou strategií suchozemských plžů. Jednotliví predátoři si proto museli osvojit různorodé techniky, jak bariéru v podobě pevné schránky překonat.

  • History of the Investigation of the Terrestrial Snails of the Great Hungarian Plain and Its Present Situation
    Tiscia (Szeged) Vol. XVIII, pp. 83—95 (1983) HISTORY OF THE INVESTIGATION OF THE TERRESTRIAL SNAILS OF THE GREAT HUNGARIAN PLAIN AND ITS PRESENT SITUATION. II K. BÁBA Department of Biology, Gyula Juhász Teachers' Training College, Szeged (Received September 1, 1981) Summary Number of species of the terrestrial snail-fauna of the Great Hungarian Plain is 73 after omitting species occuring only on civilized places, already extincted, occuring only accidentally on the inundation areas, or only outside the borders and disregarding dubious data of the pub- lications. Analysis was performed on 19 356 individuals. Three stand-points of analysis were selected: 1. number of individuals and frequency of occurrence in the plant associations of zonal and azonal places (within this the occurrence on one place only: constantly or temporarily), 2. fauna — transporting activity of the rivers and expansion through forests, 3. environmental requirements of the species. In the first part of this work a list with 97 species was published. From these species Orcula Pomatias elegáns, Acicula polita, TruncateUina claustralis, Ruthenica filograna, and Discus rotun- datus became extinct on the Great Hungarian Plain. Adherents of civilization are Oxychilus hydatinus and Milax budapestinensis; they do not occur in the nature. Ena obscura, Macrogastra ventricosa, Clausiiis dubia, Laciniaria plicata, Arion dasciatus, Vitrea diaphana, Aegopis verti- cillus, Oxychilus inopinatus, Bielzia coerulans, Trichia striolata, Jsognomostoma isognomostoma were found only once; regardinf their requirements no permanent establishment is to be expected, author considers them as statistically accidental elements. "Permanent" members of the fauna fo the Great Hungarian Plain. On the basis of the earlier published data and diminishing of the sedimentai faunas /auna impoverishment can be established since the beginning of the century.

  • The Molluscs and Their Habitats in Sashtinska Sredna Gora Mts. (Southern Bulgaria)

(Southern Bulgaria). – Malacologica Bohemoslovaca, 8: 1–8. Online serial at <http://mollusca.sav.sk> 28-Jan-2009. The aim of this study was to investigate the mollusc species diversity of Sashtinska Sredna Gora Mts. (Southern Bulgaria) in detail, and to obtain some data on the distribution of the malacofauna both in habitats and in geo- graphical areas of this mountain. The survey was carried out during the period of 20 Oct 2007 – 12 Nov 2008. Total 49 localities were examined, and their co-ordinates were given, 78 mollusc species were registered in the study area, from which 75 were new records for Sashtinska Sredna Gora Mts. Seventeen molluscan habitats were studied separately, from which the forests on river banks dominated by Salix sp. and Alnus glutinosa, open grassy terrains with short vegetation, and oak forests showed the highest species diversity. Considering the base rock type molluscan communities were separated in two main groups: a complex of species in the limestone areas, and another one inhabiting the volcanic/non limestone terrains. The artificial substrate even considered as a calcium source, in our area had played a little role on diversity.

  • Annotated Check-List of the Bulgarian Terrestrial Snails (Mollusca, Gastropoda)
    © Biologiezentrum Linz/Austria; download unter www.biologiezentrum.at Linzer biol. Beitr. 30/2 745-765 31.12.1998 Annotated check-list of the Bulgarian terrestrial snails (Mollusca, Gastropoda) I.K. DEDOV Abstract: In the present work 236 species and 42 subspecies (excluding the nominal ones) of terrestrial snails are listed. 13 of the species and 22 of the subspecies are considered as being with vague systematic status. The occurence of 7 species [Pagodulina pagodula (DESMOULINS), Chondrina spelta (BECK), Bulgaria* rugicollis (ROSSMASSLER), Oxyloma sarsii (ESMARK & HOYER), Tandonia rustica (MILLET), Umax subalpinus LESSONA, Deroceras pageti GROSSU] in Bulgaria is doubtfull. The Bulgarian and Balkan peninsula endemics as well as the rare species/subspecies are indicated. The taxa so far known as being tertiary relicts are marked. Key words: terrestrial snails, Bulgaria, checklist. Introduction The investigations on Bulgarian terrestrial snails were generally carried out by foreign authors. The works until 1974 were summarized by DAMAJANOV & LlKHAREV (1975). Subsequently, many authors have published on Bulgarian land snails. Numerous new species were described, other were firstly recorded for the Bulgarian fauna or synony- mised. This work sets the task to summarize the names of all Bulgarian terrestrial snails, to present the new tendencies of the systematics and to provide some critical remarks on some species. According to DELTCHEV et al. (1993) about 80 percent of the Bulgarian mollusc fauna is known. Despite of presence of a monograph on terrestrial snails several systematical, zoogeographical and ecological problems of this group are not solved. There are many described subspecies, forms and varieties of a vague systematic status.

  • Species Diversity and Habitat Distribution of the Malacofauna (Mollusca: Bivalvia, Gastropoda) of Surnena Sredna Gora Mountain (Southern Bulgaria)
    PROCEEDINGS OF THE BALKAN SCIENTIFIC CONFERENCE OF BIOLOGY IN PLOVDIV (BULGARIA) FROM 19TH TILL 21ST OF MAY 2005 (EDS B. GRUEV, M. NIKOLOVA AND A. DONEV), 2005 (P. 428–435) SPECIES DIVERSITY AND HABITAT DISTRIBUTION OF THE MALACOFAUNA (MOLLUSCA: BIVALVIA, GASTROPODA) OF SURNENA SREDNA GORA MOUNTAIN (SOUTHERN BULGARIA) Dilian Georgiev Georgiev Departament of Ecology and Environmental conservation, University of Plovdiv, Tzar Assen Str. 24, BG-4000 Plovdiv, Bulgaria e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT. The massif of Surnena Sredna Gora mountain is situated between 25˚ and 26˚ meridians, and south from central parts of Stara Planina mountain. From south Surnena Gora borders on the Upper Tracian Valley. There were no any detailed studies on the species diversity of freshwater bivalves and gastropods in Surnena Sredna Gora mountain. The aim of our study was to investigate the species diversity and habitat distribution of the whole recent malacofauna (Bivalvia and Gastropoda) of the region. The study was carried out during the period of 2001-2005. The molluscs were collectad by hand and for the smallest species a sieve for soil samples was used. There were 10 habitat types considered for studing the malacofauna distribution. Total of 80 species of Mollusca in the study area were registered. The total of 23 species of Mollusca were newly found for Surnena Sredna Gora mountain. From the freshwater habitats the richest were the small rivers and the karst springs. With highest diversity from land habitat types were the river bank forests. KEY WORDS: diversity, habitat, malacofauna, Mollusca, Bulgaria INTRODUCTION The malacofauna (Mollusca: freshwater mussels – Bivalvia and freshwater and land snails - Gastropoda) of the small mountain massifs as Surnena Sredna Gora in Bulgaria are not well studied.
