“…They can float on the surface membrane or travel on floating plant fragments. Myzyk (2011) observed that the large mantle cavity of adult V. moulinsiana and the air accumulated in it enabled the snails to float. Due to being waterborne, V. angustior and V. moulinsiana are able to successfully occupy relatively recently-created habitats (killeen 2003(killeen , killeen & Moorkens 2011.…”

“…The latter was collected only as singletons at three localities, which may result from mismatching the sampling method and the snail's microhabitat preferences. According to cAMeron et al (2003) V. moulinsiana climbs tall plants during the vegetation season and can be found amongst litter only in winter, while Myzyk (2011) observed that in summer only the youngest juveniles stayed close to the ground surface. It is likely that the number of V. moulinsiana specimens detected in this study would be higher if an additional sampling method was used (i.e.…”

AbstrAct:The wetlands at the Odra estuary in the environs of the Szczecin and Kamieński lagoons were surveyed for the occurrence of vertiginids, identifying their habitats and accompanying malacofauna. In total, 22 land snail species were recorded, among them five species of Vertigo: V. angustior Jeffreys (5 localities), V. moulinsiana (Dupuy) (3), V. antivertigo (Draparnaud) (15), V. pygmaea (Draparnaud) (20) and V. substriata (Jeffreys) (2). The localities of the protected V. angustior and V. moulinsiana were situated along the Dziwna Strait and the Kamieński Lagoon. In the Odra estuary, V. angustior and V. moulinsiana occurred in four plant communities: sedge beds Caricetum gracilis, Caricetum distichae, Caricetum acutiformis and herbs of the Lysimachio-Filipenduletum association. The inventory showed that the protected vertiginids could inhabit a landscape altered by human activities if the surrounding areas ensured constant humidity. On the contrary, intensive agricultural activities on the polders surrounding the Szczecin Lagoon excluded their occurrence. The passive transport of snails by backwater current in the Kamieński Lagoon from the abundant populations in the Karpinek Bay (both species present) may account for the distribution of vertiginids in the study area.

“…However, V. moulinsiana is more restrictive with respect to moisture level than V. angustior and usually inhabits permanently wet or temporarily flooded areas (Killeen 2003;Cameron et al 2003). V. moulinsiana prefers habitats that are overgrown with tall monocotyledons, moving up and down the stems to obtain desired humidities (Pokryszko 1990;Hornung et al 2003;Killeen 2003;Myzyk 2011;von Proschwitz 2003). In contrast, V. angustior is a litter-dweller, staying within a few centimetres of the soil and litter (Norris and Colville 1974;Cameron et al 2003) and does not tolerate inundation (Cameron et al 2003;Jankowiak and Bernard 2013;Książkiewicz 2014).…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate whether simple geographical data can be used to predict the probability of the presence of two threatened snail species: Vertigo angustior and V. moulinsiana, occurring within wetland areas across their central European range. Our research was based on data from 226 localities across Poland fitting with the species requirements according to the current literature. We used Canonical Variance Analysis with variance partitioning and tree classifications to model relationships between the species presence/absence and rough geographic features describing each locality (landscape and geomorphological types and hydrography). Our results have shown that the localities of the studied species are related to particular types of landform and landscape and are not distributed uniformly. Both species occur predominantly in young postglacial lowland landscapes and are usually associated with particular succession stages of lakes, with V. moulinsiana occurring in earlier phases of habitat evolution. Results from modelling show that cost-and time effectiveness of surveying for these species could be substantially increased by avoiding particular location types. The prediction models presented will be a useful tool for planning future surveys of the vertiginids and in studies on their ecology and distribution.

“…To satisfy its requirements, an individual snail changes its position on a plant to cope with changing environmental variables (i.e. Jankowski, 1939;Killeen, 2003;Myzyk, 2011). With the onset of winter V. moulinsiana descends to the ground or overwinters on tussock sedges (Pokryszko, 1990;Killeen, 2003;Książkiewicz and Pawlak, 2016).…”
