“…unreplaced junior homonyms or taxa published in electronic format without fulfilling the requirements of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature) were included. This enabled inclusion of 171 names published in a comprehensive monograph on Chinese Cenozoic faunas (Youluo, 1978) that is not available in the sense of the Code because no author is provided ( Youluo means ‘editorial group’; Haszprunar, 2022). Generally, this review provides an uncritical summary of the current knowledge: while several uncertainties are discussed, no revisions or taxonomic decisions are made.…”

“…On a smaller geographic and taxonomic scale, Salvador et al (2018) reviewed the fossil record of Cretaceous to Neogene Hygrophila and Eupulmonata of South America. Haszprunar (2014Haszprunar ( , 2022, Neubauer (2016), andGlaubrecht (2019a) produced nomenclators of all available fossil and recent genus and species names of Valvatidae, Melanopsidae, and Paludomidae, respectively. Recently, the global fossil record of Lymnaeidae was summarised by Neubauer (2023) along with an assessment of the family's diversity and geographic distribution through time.…”

The fossil record of freshwater Gastropoda – a global review

Gastropoda are an exceptionally successful group with a rich and diverse fossil record. They have conquered land and freshwater habitats multiple times independently and have dispersed across the entire globe. Since they are important constituents of fossil assemblages, they are often used for palaeoecological reconstruction, biostratigraphic correlations, and as model groups to study morphological and taxonomic evolution. While marine faunas and their evolution have been a common subject of study, the freshwater component of the fossil record has attracted much less attention, and a global overview is lacking. Here, I review the fossil record of freshwater gastropods on a global scale, ranging from their origins in the late Palaeozoic to the Pleistocene. As compiled here, the global fossil record of freshwater Gastropoda includes 5182 species in 490 genera, 44 families, and 12 superfamilies over a total of ~340 million years. Following a slow and poorly known start in the late Palaeozoic, diversity slowly increased during the Mesozoic. Diversity culminated in an all‐time high in the Neogene, relating to diversification in numerous long‐lived (ancient) lakes in Europe. I summarise well‐documented and hypothesised freshwater colonisation events and compare the patterns found in freshwater gastropods to those in land snails. Furthermore, I discuss potential preservation and sampling biases, as well as the main drivers underlying species diversification in fresh water on a larger scale. In that context, I particularly highlight the importance of long‐lived lakes as islands and archives of evolution and expand a well‐known concept in ecology and evolution to a broader spectrum: scale‐independent ecological opportunity.
