Land and freshwater molluscs of Northern Spain

Data Records

The data in this occurrence resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 222 records.

This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Geographic Coverage

Northern Spain (Vízcaya, Cantabria and Asturias)

Taxonomic Coverage

Land and freshwater molluscs do not comprise a monophyletic taxonomic group, but are all mollusc species that live in respectively land and freshwater habitats. On land, only gastropods occur (class Gastropoda, snails and slugs) and in freshwater, both gastropods as bivalves (class Bivalvia) occur.

Temporal Coverage

Sampling Methods

Sampling was done ad random along random routes. Collection of specimens was mainly done by hand on sight. In some cases, a soil sample was taken that was later examined at home.

Method step description:

1. Determination was mainly done with Cadevall & Orozco (2016) and Welter-Schultes (2012) and for species with a wider, European, distribution also the following works were consulted: Cameron (2008), Glöer (2015), Horsák (2013), Jansen (2015). Finally, the following articles were consulted as well: Arconada et al. (2007) and Rolán et al. (2009) for Alzoniella, Gittenberger & Bank (1996) for Pyramidula, Gittenberger (1973) for Chondrina, Raven (1990) for Obscurella, Suárez & Quiñonero Salgado (2017) for Plentuisa vendia, Prieto et al. (2020) for Oestophora, Suárez et al. (2019), Elejalde et al. (2009) and Caro et al. (2019) for Pyrenaearia (see also Langeraert, 2017), and De Winter (1986) for Arion urbiae.
