Materials to the knowledge of molluscs of Wielkopolska. II. Checklist

Abstract

We present the list of molluscs recorded from Wielkopolska (W. Poland) during the last fifty years. It includes the 167 species (47 freshwater snails, 92 terrestrial gastropods, 28 bivalves) recorded from the region between July 1st 1958 and July 1st 2008. The number of localities recorded during the last 50 years is given for each species. The list is based on data from 4,155 localities described in 89 publications and 73 unpublished papers. Most of the information was published in Polish or not published at all, and thus inaccessible to a wider malacological audience
