Location of the Czech Republic

This is a list of the non-marine molluscs of the Czech Republic. That country is land-locked and therefore it has no marine molluscs, only land and freshwater species, including snails, slugs, freshwater clams and freshwater mussels. There are 247 [1] species of molluscs living in the wild in the Czech Republic. In addition there are at least 11 gastropod species surviving in greenhouses.

Contents

There are 219 [1] gastropod species (50 [1] freshwater and 169 [1] land species) and 28 [1] bivalve species living in the wild.

There are also 11 introduced gastropod species (5 freshwater and 7 land species) and 4 bivalve species living in the wild in the Czech Republic. This is a total of 9 freshwater non-indigenous species living in natural habitats.

History

Historical lists from 19th century or overviews of Czech malacofauna include works by Schöbl (1860), Slavík (1868) and Uličný (1892–95). [2] [3]

Lists by Vojen Ložek include work Ložek (1948) for Bohemia. Following works include lists for whole Czechoslovakia for recent species: Ložek (1949), Ložek (1956) [4] and list including Quaternary species: Ložek (1964). [5]

Lists for freshwater species include: Beran (1998) [6] and Beran (2002). [7]

Conservation status of all 237 species include list by Juřičková et al. (2001). [8] There is also available red list based on that 2001 list. [9] Threatened species only include list by Beran et al. (2005). [10] List by Juřičková et al. (2008) [11] has included 245 species. List by Horsák et al. (2010) has included 247 species. [1]

Freshwater gastropods

There are only families and species in the list. The Czech name is in parentheses. Listed is the occurrence in Bohemia or in Moravia (and if it is a non-indigenous or locally extinct species). Non-indigenous species only occurring in greenhouses in the Czech Republic are noted separately after the list. Freshwater gastropods in the Czech Republic include:

Synanthropic species

These species do not live in the wild or are not recorded in the wild yet, but they live in greenhouses and similar biotopes, as "hothouse alien" species. [30] [31] [32]
