Mollusks : Carnegie Museum of Natural History Home Pennsylvania Species Virginia Species Land Snail Ecology Resources Contact Virginia Land Snails Gastrocopta pentodon (Say, 1822) Family: Vertiginidae Identification Height: ~1.8 mm tall Width: ~0.9 mm Whorls: 5 This species and its cousin Gastrocopta tappaniana differ from all other Virginia pupillid land snails by having a small (less than 2 mm) white-clear shell with a simple, peg-shaped angulo-parietal lamella at the top of the aperture. The number of other teeth in the aperture may vary. Gastrocopta pentodon shells can be distinguished from G. tappaniana by being relatively skinny - having a shell height/width ratio of at least 1.5. Ecology Gastrocopta pentodon is found in varied habitats over a huge area. It occurs in leaf litter accumulations in habitats that range from rich to acidic, dry to damp, and open to forested. Its habitats include sand savanna, carbonate cliffs, bedrock glades, tallgrass prairie, high elevation heath “balds,” and mesic upland forests Photo(s): Gastrocopta pentodon shell (Nekola & Coles, 2010). by Jeff Nekola ©. Taxonomy Click photo(s) to enlarge. Some authors have claimed that G. pentodon and G. tappaniana are simply a single species, with differences owing to different habitat conditions (e.g. Bequaert & Miller, 1973; Metcalf & Smartt, 1997). However, recent shell shape (Pearce et al., 2007) and genetic (Nekola et al., 2012) analyses show that these are separate species. Also, the presence of unique shell shapes in eastern North American specimens makes it possible that Gastrocopta pentodon will ultimately be shown to be a species complex. Synonyms for this animal’s name include Vertigo pentodon, Pupa pentodon, Bifidaria pentodon, Gastrocopta carnegiei. Distribution Gastrocopta pentodon lives across most of eastern North America, from west Texas and extreme northeastern New Mexico to eastern Kansas and southern Manitoba, east to northern Maine and Miami, Florida (Nekola & Coles, 2010). It also ranges south across eastern Mexico to Guatemala (Pilsbry, 1948). In Virginia this animal has been reported from most of the state. While not currently known from the Piedmont, this gap is almost certainly due to being overlooked, as it occurs in adjacent areas of Maryland and North Carolina.

Jeho celoevropský význam zhodnotila řada autorů (viz dále). K jeho devadesátinám předávám do tisku jeho úplnou bibliografii, která aktuálně čítá 1338 publikací, za jeden rok tedy vydal průměrně 17 prací! Jsou to jak práce, které napsal sám, tak se spoluautory, články i větší studie a velké monografie. To samo již vypovídá o jeho nezměrné píli a vědeckém zaměření v nejrůznějších oborech. Kromě publikovaných prací sepsal desítky odborných posudků a zpráv o průbězích svých výzkumů. Vedle toho všeho také sestavil mapy přirozených 421 BOHEMIA CENTRALIS 33 hnojiv a minerální síly půd v měřítku 1 : 200 000 s obsáhlými texty k nim, které slouží zvláště zemědělcům. Jde o soubor map pokrývající prakticky celou plochu tehdejšího Československa, celkem 31 listů! Na Ložkově bibliografii jsem pracoval průběžně po celou řadu let. Vedle separátů a knih, které mi jubilant postupně věnoval, získával jsem od něj také seznamy jeho publikací, které jsem doplňoval o jeho další, při mých studiích zjištěné práce, které mu nedopatřením ušly, neboť redakce některých periodik mu třeba zapomněly poslat autorské výtisky, takže se nedostaly do jeho seznamu.

  • Armed Snaggletooth Gastrocopta Armifera ILLINOIS RANGE
    armed snaggletooth Gastrocopta armifera Kingdom: Animalia FEATURES Phylum: Mollusca One-eighth inch is the largest shell dimension of this species. Class: Gastropoda Snails have a complex system of organs. The mouth contains Order: a radula, a flexible, ribbonlike structure lined with rows of teeth, used to scrape food. On the head are tentacles. Most Family: Vertiginidae snails in Illinois have an eye at the tip of each upper tentacle. ILLINOIS STATUS A snail’s shell develops in the egg along with the rest of its body and continues to grow until the snail reaches sexual common, native maturity. The shell is formed by deposits of calcium laid down by the mantle. As the shell grows in its coiled shape, whorls are added. A snail cannot leave its shell. It has a strong muscle inside that is firmly attached to the shell. Snail shells grow in a variety of shapes. Shell shape, number and type of whorls and shell ornamentation, such as ribs or hairs, aid in identification of species. Snail shells may persist long after the snail has died and often can be used to identify species. The shell of this snail has projections, called teeth or denticles, in its aperture that help protect its soft body from being eaten by insect predators. BEHAVIORS Snails need to seek sheltered places to live, eat and rest. They prefer to live in moist areas and are commonly found under logs, loose bark or coarse woody debris, and in leaf litter on the forest floor. In general, snail populations are greatest in areas that have high soil calcium levels.

  • Land Snails and Slugs (Gastropoda: Caenogastropoda and Pulmonata) of Two National Parks Along the Potomac River Near Washington, District of Columbia
    Banisteria, Number 43, pages 3-20 © 2014 Virginia Natural History Society Land Snails and Slugs (Gastropoda: Caenogastropoda and Pulmonata) of Two National Parks along the Potomac River near Washington, District of Columbia Brent W. Steury U.S. National Park Service 700 George Washington Memorial Parkway Turkey Run Park Headquarters McLean, Virginia 22101 Timothy A. Pearce Carnegie Museum of Natural History 4400 Forbes Avenue Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15213-4080 ABSTRACT The land snails and slugs (Gastropoda: Caenogastropoda and Pulmonata) of two national parks along the Potomac River in Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia were surveyed in 2010 and 2011. A total of 64 species was documented accounting for 60 new county or District records. Paralaoma servilis (Shuttleworth) and Zonitoides nitidus (Müller) are recorded for the first time from Virginia and Euconulus polygyratus (Pilsbry) is confirmed from the state. Previously unreported growth forms of Punctum smithi Morrison and Stenotrema barbatum (Clapp) are described. Key words: District of Columbia, Euconulus polygyratus, Gastropoda, land snails, Maryland, national park, Paralaoma servilis, Punctum smithi, Stenotrema barbatum, Virginia, Zonitoides nitidus. INTRODUCTION Although county-level distributions of native land gastropods have been published for the eastern United Land snails and slugs (Gastropoda: Caeno- States (Hubricht, 1985), and for the District of gastropoda and Pulmonata) represent a large portion of Columbia and Maryland (Grimm, 1971a), and Virginia the terrestrial invertebrate fauna with estimates ranging (Beetle, 1973), no published records exist specific to between 30,000 and 35,000 species worldwide (Solem, the areas inventoried during this study, which covered 1984), including at least 523 native taxa in the eastern select national park sites along the Potomac River in United States (Hubricht, 1985).

  • Mollusca: Gastropoda) from Islands Off the Kimberley Coast, Western Australia Frank Köhler1, Vince Kessner2 and Corey Whisson3
    RECORDS OF THE WESTERN AUSTRALIAN MUSEUM 27 021–039 (2012) New records of non-marine, non-camaenid gastropods (Mollusca: Gastropoda) from islands off the Kimberley coast, Western Australia Frank Köhler1, Vince Kessner2 and Corey Whisson3 1 Department of Environment and Conservation of Western Australia, Science Division, PO Box 51, Wanneroo, Western Australia 6946; and Australian Museum, 6 College Street, Sydney, New South Wales 2010, Australia.

Email: [email protected] 3 Department of Aquatic Zoology, Western Australian Museum, 49 Kew Street, Welshpool, Western Australia 6106, Australia. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT – The coast of the Western Australian Kimberley boasts an archipelago that comprises several hundred large islands and thousands much smaller. While the non–marine gastropod fauna of the Kimberley mainland has been surveyed to some extent, the fauna of these islands had never been comprehensively surveyed and only anecdotal and unsystematic data on species occurrences have been available. During the Western Australian Department of Environment and Conservation’s Kimberley Island Survey, 2008–2010, 22 of the largest islands were surveyed. Altogether, 17 species of terrestrial non–camaenid snails were found on these islands. This corresponds to about 75% of all terrestrial, non–camaenid gastropods known from the entire Kimberley region. In addition, four species of pulmonate freshwater snails were found to occur on one or more of four of these islands. Individual islands harbour up to 15, with an average of eight, species each. Species diversity was found to be higher in the wetter parts of the region.

  • A Szabadhídvégi Alsópleisztocén Fauna
    M. ÁLL. FÖLDTANI INTÉZET ÉVI .JELENTÉSE AZ 1976. ÉVRŐL A SZABADHÍDVÉGI ALSÓPLEISZTOCÉN FAUNA K ro lo pp E n d r e Az Ádánd és Szabadiad vég (korábban Városhídvég, Mezőhídvég) közti út mellett, a Sió közelében emelkedő Kavicsos-domb „klasszikus” ősmaradvány-lelőhelyeink közé tartozik. Az itt mélyített kavics- és homokgödrökből gyűjtött Mollusca-faunát W e iss (1909) és K ormos (1910) dolgozta fel. Munkájuk eredményeként 38 faj jelenlétét tudták megállapítani. A Földtani Intézet Múzeumában jórészt meglevő anyaguk revíziója során ez a szám 34-re csökkent, ugyanakkor az anyagból további 4, általuk nem közölt fajt sikerült kimutatnom. Az előkerült emlős szórványleleteket K a d ic (1910) ismertette. Az őslénytani adatok alapján a folyóvízi képződmény korát a legfelső pliocénbe (W e is s ), illetve a pleisztocén legaljára (K ormos, K a d ic ) helyezték. Az utóbbi korbesorolást fogadta el L óczy (1913) is. 1969-ben kavicsfejtés közben csontmaradványok kerültek elő. A bejelentés alap­ ján B éc sy L.-val végzett terepbejárás és próbagyűjtés során az eddig közölt fajok mellett pleisztocén faunánkból eddig nem ismert alakok is előkerültek és az iszapolás a gerinces fauna pontosabb besorolását biztosító apróemlős-anyagot is szolgáltatott. A lelőhelyről a későbbi évek során két alkalommal kisebb mennyiségű, végül 1975-ben nagyobb mennyiségű üledéket gyűjtöttem iszapolás céljára. A Sió völgye fölé 30 m-re kiemelkedő Kavicsos-domb (130 m) folyóvízi üledéksorának alsó része mintegy 2 m vastagságban feltárt közéjiszemű kavics, amelyre 2—3 m vastag, helyenként homoklencséket és homokrétege­ ket tartalmazó aprókavics, majd kb. 1 m vastag homokos kőzetliszt települ. A folyóvízi rétegsort fedő löszt a legtöbb helyen eltávolították, így ennek ma már csupán néhány cm vastag maradványait találjuk.

    Survey of Land Snails at Devils Tower National Monument December 2011 Prepared by: Lusha Tronstad, PhD Invertebrate Zoologist Wyoming Natural Diversity Database University of Wyoming Laramie, WY 82071 Telephone: 307-766-3115 Email: [email protected] For: Devils Tower National Monument National Park Service P.O. Box 10 Devils Tower, WY 82714 Suggested Citation: Tronstad, L.M. 2011. Survey of Land snails at Devils Tower National Monument. Report prepared by the Wyoming Natural Diversity Database, University of Wyoming for Devils Tower National Monument, National Park Service. Introduction Invertebrates comprise 99% of the species on earth (Ponder and Lunney 1999). Despite the fact that most animals lack a backbone, far less is known about these animals compared to their vertebrate counterparts. Non-marine mollusks are a diverse group of invertebrates composed of terrestrial snails, and freshwater snails and bivalves. Non-marine mollusks are one of the most critically impaired groups of animals on earth (Lydeard et al. 2004). Unfortunately, the highest number of recorded extinctions occurred within the mollusk group. About 24,000 terrestrial mollusks are described, and an estimated 11,000 to 40,000 terrestrial mollusks are currently undescribed (Lydeard et al. 2004). Of the described species, 1,222 (5%) were on the 2002 International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Species (www.redlist.org; Lydeard et al. 2004). Land snails have unique life history traits and play an important role in the ecosystem. Land snails generally live in moist microhabitats on the landscape, such as by streams, springs and on north-facing slopes. Snails require moisture to live, because their tissues can be 50% water by weight (Burch and Pearce 1990).
