The non-native microsnail Paralaoma servilis (Shuttleworth, 1852) has been recorded at several sites in the Western parts of Germany. The study provides the first records of the species for Rhineland-Palatinate. The sites in North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate close the gap between the already well-documented northern distribution (the Netherlands and the mining heaps in North Rhine-Westphalia), and the already known occurrences in the federal state of Baden-W?rttembergin the South. 13 pp., 5 figs, gr. 8.…

Habitat fragmentation is a major cause for species loss, but its effect on invertebrates with low active dispersal power, like terrestrial gastropods, has rarely been studied. Such species can not cross a hostile habitat matrix, for which the predictions of island theory, such as positive relations between species richness and patch size, should apply. In order to test this prediction, we studied gastropod species diversity by assessing gastropod assemblage characteristics from 35 sites in 19 fragments of deciduous old-growth forests in the Lower Rhine Embayment, Germany. Assemblages differed between larger (?700 ha) and smaller forests (1,000 ha, i.e., well above the size of most fragments. In conclusion, the prediction is valid only for forest species. The response to fragmentation is species specific and seems to depend on habitat specialization and macroclimatic conditions. 13 pp., 4 figs, gr. 8.…

A detailed inventory of the mollusc fauna of the nature reserve Mombacher Rheinufer situated between the cities of Budenheim and Mainz-Mombach (Germany, Rhineland-Palatinate) was conducted based on four field trips in 2013/2014. Currently 60 species have been recorded (36 terrestrial and 20 freshwater pastropods, 4 bivalves). Including historical records, a total of 70 mollusc species are known from the area (40 terrestrial an 26 freshwater gastropods, 4 bivales). Worth mentioning are Lithoglyphus naticoides, Theodoxus fluviatilis and Viviparus viviparus - all three species have recovered to pre-decline densities in some parts of the Upper River Rhine in recent years. Furthermore a small population of the highly endangered species Anisus spirorbis was found in a stagnant backwater. According to a statement published at the end of the 19th century, the floodplain area between Mainz-Mombach and Budenheim harboured the almost complete regional species pool of freshwater gastropods. This can no longer be confirmed. Causes are, among others, the progressing sedimentation, probably in combination with the general decrease of the groundwater level in the region, scarcer wetlands and permanent water bodies. This, in turn, limits the occurence of many aquatic floodplain species. 18 pp., 2 figs, 2 pls, 2 tabs, gr. 8.…

Based on recent records of the woodlouse species Porcellio spinicornis in Rhineland-Palatinate, we conducted a literature and internet survey to assemble a maximum of records of this species, to delineate its distribution in Germany and the surrounding countries. In total 108 literature references were evaluated (with and without records) and, including our own data, 145 records from Germany were compiled. We found records for all German states, except for Bremen. The habitat requirements are described and briefly discussed. 26 pp., 2 figs, gr. 8.…
