Malakofauna přírodní památky Babinské louky v CHKO České středohoří [Mollusc fauna of the Babinské louky Nature Monument in the České středohoří Protected Landscape Area]

Abstract

Mollusc fauna of the Babinské louky Nature Monument in the České středohoří Protected Lanscape Area in North Bohemia has been supplemented and summarized. During the recent monitoring in 2021, 36 land snails and four aquatic species were recorded. This reserve mainly protects the famous orchid meadows, however, it also includes a number of other habitats, including forests. The local malacofauna is therefore relatively rich. There are strictly forest species (Isognomostoma isognomostomos, Merdigera obscura), species of open habitats (Vertigo pygmaea), hygrophilous species (Succinella oblonga) or boreomontane species (Vertigo substriata) living side by side.
