Marstoniopsis insubrica is a species of minute freshwater snail in the family Amnicolidae. [1] It is widespread but patchily distributed in Europe. Although not considered endangered as a species, [1] it is generally rare and locally threatened through much of its range; in Switzerland it is considered extinct. [5]

Distribution

This species lives in some areas in Northern, Western, Central, and Eastern Europe, including: [1] [6]

Habitat

Marstoniopsis insubrica occurs in lakes, rivers and estuaries. [1]

A threatened species is any species which is vulnerable to extinction in the near future. Species that are threatened are sometimes characterised by the population dynamics measure of critical depensation, a mathematical measure of biomass related to population growth rate. This quantitative metric is one method of evaluating the degree of endangerment without direct reference to human activity.
