Terrestrial snails and slugs belong to a small part of the Class Gastropoda. There is no real difference between a snail and a slug. In the latter the shell, so characteristic of snails, is merely reduced in size and usually internal. Most snails and slugs feed on lichens, algae, fungi or dead plant matter. Many will also scavenge corpses if encountered, but only a Glass Snail, Oxychilus draparnaudi, and the Shelled Slugs, Testacella spp., are active predators. These both feed primarily on earthworms. A few species, such as the Grey Field Slug, Deroceras reticulatum, and the Garden Snail, Helix aspersa, can be pests of crops and garden plants, but this is the exception. The Oxfordshire Molluscan fauna is not static. The majority of Oxfordshire’s 91 species of snail and slug live un-noticed in the countryside, many dependent on semi-natural habitats. As human activities put increasing pressure on the countryside some species have become amongst the county’s rarest inhabitants. Other species, such as the Garden Snail have been widely transported by human activities and have been spread well beyond their natural range. This process continues today and recent colonists of the county include the Greenhouse Slug, Lehmannia valentiana, which has now been found outdoors at a few garden centres. RECORDING: PAST AND PRESENT The terrestrial Mollusca are one of the most well worked invertebrate groups within Oxfordshire. The visual attractiveness and wide range of colour varieties exhibited by many species made them popular with Victorian collectors. During the 19th century numerous local lists were published, mainly for the Henley, Banbury and Oxford districts. Towards the end of the century these were collated by Collinge (1891) to give the first full county list complete with details of distribution. The 64 species included most of the county’s known rarities. In the 1920’s much work was undertaken by two emminent conchologists: the Rev. L.W.Grensted and A.E.Ellis. Four species were added to the county list: the elusive snails Vertigo substriata and V. moulinsiana and the slugs Arion intermedius and Malacolimax tenellus. Four additional species were added through taxonomic splitting of species aggregates. For example, Vallonia costata and V. excentrica were distinguished from V. pulchella. Similarly, Candidula gigaxii and Trichia plebeia were also added. This period cumulated with the publication of the Victoria County History of Oxfordshire (VCH) (Grensted 1938) with records collated for 72 species. Fieldwork undertaken by the Bureau of Animal Population Studies, based at Oxford University, generated many species records from the 1930’s onwards (the ’Wytham Survey’). Further taxonomic splits added Carychium tridentatum, Cochlicopa lubricella, and Vitrea contracta. In the 1960’s and 1970's Dr H.J.M.Bowen undertook surveys on local nature reserves. Largely neglected since the turn of the century, the early 1980’s generated many slug records, including those of M.R.Hughes. The slugs Arion fasciatus, A. silvaticus and Deroceras panormitanum (caruanae) are recorded for the first time. Since the late 1980's there has been a concerted effort by Dr A.I.Spriggs and the authors to achieve a balanced recording effort across the county within all habitats, including man-made Oxfordshire Museums Service – Biological Records Centre 1 Atlas of Terrestrial Mollusca (synanthropic) sites, such as churchyards. The presence of five additional snails, Columella aspersa, Euconulus alderi, Perforatella subrufescens, Perforatella rubiginosa and most recently, Hygromia cinctella has been confirmed in the county. Six slugs, all strongly associated with man-made habitats, have also been discovered: Arion lusitanicus, A. flagellus, A. distinctus, Tandonia budapestensis, Boettgerilla pallens and Lehmannia valentiana. To date 91 species have been recorded from Oxfordshire. To the end of October 2000, over 20,000 site-based species records are held on the Oxfordshire Biological Records Centre (OBRC) computerised database (using RECORDER). The majority of these records are post 1990. The collection of data is ongoing. HABITAT ASSOCIATIONS Snails tend to be much more numerous on lime-rich soils, due to the requirement of lime for shell building. Slugs are not so dependent on lime and sites with acidic soils can be important for slugs, despite supporting a limited snail fauna. Some species, such as Desmoulin’s Whorl Snail (Vertigo moulinsiana) or the Ash-black Slug (Limax cinereoniger), have precise habitat requirements, which makes them good indicators of undisturbed semi-natural habitats. Unfortunately this also makes such species vulnerable to habitat change and degradation. As increasing pressure is put on the countryside for farming, forestry, housing and new roads these have become some of the county’s rarest inhabitants. Deciduous woodland: This is the natural climax vegetation of southern England and has proved the most diverse of the semi-natural habitats. Within Oxfordshire, well over 40 species are regularly encountered within semi-natural ancient deciduous woodland, especially where these lie over lime-rich soils, hold plenty of dead wood and support waterlogged (flushed) areas. Six species, Acicula fusca, Vertigo substriata (wet areas), Ena montana, Limax cinereoniger, Malacolimax tenellus and Perforatella subrufescens are confined to such prime habitat. Other typical woodland inhabitants are Azeca goodalli, Cochlodina laminata, Macrogastra rolphii and to a lesser extent the slugs Limax maximus and Lehmannia marginata. Calcareous fen and riverside marsh: Wetland is another important semi-natural habitat for slugs and snails within the county, provided they are not cut for hay or too heavily grazed. About 40 species are frequently encountered. Characteristic species include Succinea putris, Oxyloma pfeifferi, Vallonia pulchella, Zonitoides nitidus, Deroceras laeve, Euconulus alderi and Ashfordia granulata. Undisturbed wetland, with intact hydrology, is important for the locally scarce Whorl Snails Vertigo antivertigo, V. substriata (if shaded), and V. moulinsiana and the nationally rare Perforatella rubiginosa. Calcareous Grassland: The lime-rich, free draining soils favour snails that are adapted to the generally dry conditions. Herb-rich short turf grassland supports a specialist snail community characterised by Pupilla muscorum and the common Vallonia excentrica. Two declining species, Abida secale and Helicella itala are confined to such habitat. Helicigona lapicida, once widespread, is now extinct at its known grassland sites. More frequent species, such as Vertigo pygmaea, Candidula intersecta and C. gigaxii, will also inhabit rougher areas. Where there is a good mosaic of grazed short turf, rough grass and scrub up to 40 species can be Oxfordshire Museums Service – Biological Records Centre 2 Atlas of Terrestrial Mollusca collected. Open scrub is important for two species, Pomatias elegans and the uncommon Roman Snail Helix pomatia. Limestone Walls: To a snail, these are nothing more than a poorly vegetated grassland and tend to support similar species. None-the-less old limestone walls, especially if mossy, hold a distinctive fauna. This is characterised by Pyramidula rupestris, Lauria cylindracea. Less frequently, the Tree Snail Balea perversa and the rarities Vertigo pusilla and Helicigona lapicida may be found. A similar species assemblage occurs on roofs tiled with ‘Cotswold slate’ limestone. Churchyards and Gardens: Man-made (synanthropic) habitats, even in urban areas, can be as diverse as many semi-natural sites. Such sites not only hold a wide range of the more generalist woodland and grassland species, but also a great variety of non-native species, accidentally introduced by human activity. Commonly encountered species include the snails Trichia striolata and Helix aspersa and the slugs Arion ater, A. distinctus, A. hortensis, Tandonia budapestensis

  • The Slugs of Bulgaria (Arionidae, Milacidae, Agriolimacidae
    POLSKA AKADEMIA NAUK INSTYTUT ZOOLOGII ANNALES ZOOLOGICI Tom 37 Warszawa, 20 X 1983 Nr 3 A n d rzej W ik t o r The slugs of Bulgaria (A rionidae , M ilacidae, Limacidae, Agriolimacidae — G astropoda , Stylommatophora) [With 118 text-figures and 31 maps] Abstract. All previously known Bulgarian slugs from the Arionidae, Milacidae, Limacidae and Agriolimacidae families have been discussed in this paper. It is based on many years of individual field research, examination of all accessible private and museum collections as well as on critical analysis of the published data. The taxa from families to species are sup­ plied with synonymy, descriptions of external morphology, anatomy, bionomics, distribution and all records from Bulgaria. It also includes the original key to all species. The illustrative material comprises 118 drawings, including 116 made by the author, and maps of localities on UTM grid. The occurrence of 37 slug species was ascertained, including 1 species (Tandonia pirinia- na) which is quite new for scientists. The occurrence of other 4 species known from publications could not bo established. Basing on the variety of slug fauna two zoogeographical limits were indicated. One separating the Stara Pianina Mountains from south-western massifs (Pirin, Rila, Rodopi, Vitosha. Mountains), the other running across the range of Stara Pianina in the^area of Shipka pass. INTRODUCTION Like other Balkan countries, Bulgaria is an area of Palearctic especially interesting in respect to malacofauna. So far little investigation has been carried out on molluscs of that country and very few papers on slugs (mostly contributions) were published. The papers by B a b o r (1898) and J u r in ić (1906) are the oldest ones.

  • Molluscs of the Dürrenstein Wilderness Area
    Molluscs of the Dürrenstein Wilderness Area S a b i n e F ISCHER & M i c h a e l D UDA Abstract: Research in the Dürrenstein Wilderness Area (DWA) in the southwest of Lower Austria is mainly concerned with the inventory of flora, fauna and habitats, interdisciplinary monitoring and studies on ecological disturbances and process dynamics. During a four-year qualitative study of non-marine molluscs, 96 sites within the DWA and nearby nature reserves were sampled in cooperation with the “Alpine Land Snails Working Group” located at the Natural History Museum of Vienna. Altogether, 84 taxa were recorded (72 land snails, 12 water snails and mussels) including four endemics and seven species listed in the Austrian Red List of Molluscs. A reference collection (empty shells) of molluscs, which is stored at the DWA administration, was created. This project was the first systematic survey of mollusc fauna in the DWA. Further sampling might provide additional information in the future, particularly for Hydrobiidae in springs and caves, where detailed analyses (e.g. anatomical and genetic) are needed. Key words: Wilderness Dürrenstein, Primeval forest, Benign neglect, Non-intervention management, Mollusca, Snails, Alpine endemics.

ABSTRACT OF THESIS IMPACT OF DIETARY DIVERSIFICATION ON INVASIVE SLUGS AND BIOLOGICAL CONTROL WITH NOTES ON SLUG SPECIES OF KENTUCKY Increasing introductions of non-native terrestrial slugs (Mollusca: Gastropoda) are a concern to North American regulatory agencies as these generalists impact the yield and reduce the aesthetic value of crop plants. Understanding how the increase in diversification in North American cropping systems affects non-native gastropods and finding effective biological control options are imperative for pest management; however, little research has been done in this area. This study tested the hypothesis that dietary diversification affects the biological control capacity of a generalist predator and allows the slug pest Deroceras reticulatum (Müller) (Stylommatophora: Agriolimacidae) to more effectively fulfill its nutritional requirements.
