We compiled taxonomic information about terrestrial gastropods in Brazil an organized and user-friendly checklist that we hope will be useful for researchers stakeholders alike. also expect it serve as a springboard, garnering more interest enabling new wave of studies on this fauna, which has one the highest extinction rates all animal groups while being essential ecosystem functioning includes species importance to public health agriculture. list occur country, with regarding synonymized...
The expression 'you need to know conserve' is a well-known cliche among biologists. Documenting the richness of group organisms first step towards understanding biodiversity and preparing efficient conservation plans. In this context, many efforts have been made quantify number species on Earth estimate still unknown science. A few countries complete integrated databases estimating approximate recorded for their territory, particularly in Global South. Brazil, country continental dimensions,...
The status of the Megalobulimus arapotiensis is reassessed. A conchological comparison this species and M. elongatus reveals no significant differences. morphology falls within range variability known in elongatus. These similarities suggest that should be treated as a junior synonym All occurrences both taxa are mapped.
The superfamily Orthalicoidea comprises approximately 2,000 species of terrestrial gastropods, mostly concentrated in the Neotropics but also present southern Africa and Oceania. We provide a multi-marker molecular phylogeny this superfamily, reassessing its family- genus-level classification. exclude two families from group, Odontostomidae Vidaliellidae, transferring them to Rhytidoidea based on their phylogenetic relationships as recovered herein. Two new are recognized herein members...
Amphidoxa Albers, 1850 is a genus of minute charopid land snails known primarily from Chile. However, two species southern Brazil have been allocated to it, flammulata Ihering, 1922 and inexpectata 1922. Curiously, after their original description, these were never again mentioned in the literature. They recently “rediscovered” during work produce latest checklist terrestrial gastropods classification needs be reassessed. Herein, we reclassify those as Lilloiconcha (Ihering, 1922) comb. nov....
An up-to-date list of exclusively cave-dwelling gastropod species recorded in Brazil is presented including updated taxonomy, detailed geographic information, and illustration types. The includes 18 cave-exclusive (troglobitic) gastropods encompassing 15 land three freshwater species, with the status further pending additional studies. Their unusual morphology diversity are discussed, as well their conservation prospects current Brazilian environmental political scenario.
The malacological collection of the Universidade Federal de Santa Maria, curated by Dr. Carla B. Kotzian, has been recently donated to Museu Zoologia da São Paulo (MZSP, Brazil). is rich in well preserved specimens terrestrial gastropods from central Rio Grande do Sul state, southernmost Brazil. That region, centered municipality represents a transitional area between Atlantic Rainforest and Pampas biomes scarcely reported literature. Therefore, we present taxonomical study these specimens,...
Idiopyrgus is a relict genus of freshwater snails from Brazil traditionally classified in the family Pomatiopsidae. Herein, we use molecular data newly acquired specimens to test that classification through Bayesian inference phylogenetic analysis. We conclude belongs Gondwanan Tomichiidae, together with African Tomichia and Australian Coxiella . Furthermore, reassess currently synonymized genus- species-level names The genera Hydracme Aquidauania are considered synonymous species I....
Gastropod samples were collected during expeditions to caves in Bahia state, northeastern Brazil, and are studied herein. Collection took place over the past five years, gastropods found 14 distributed across six different municipalities: Campo Formoso, Carinhanha, Coribe, Feira da Mata, Central, Ituaçu. A total of 19 species-level taxa terrestrial freshwater (representing 10 families) collected, including representatives Neritimorpha, Caenogastropoda, Hygrophila, Stylommatophora. new...
Increases of N and P discharges from inland waters to coastal environments are the by-products human activities such as agricultural practices. Therefore, aim this work is evaluate influence land use change in nutrient concentrations a small watershed southern Bahia, Brazil. The study sites were characterized by secondary forest (P1), sand mining (P2), cocoa cultivation (P3), pasture (P4) mangrove (P5). Dissolved forms both nitrogen phosphorus higher than particulate all sites. DON...
The molluscan fauna of southwestern Brazilian Amazonia is poorly known due to the lack focused collection areas in region since early 20 th century. present study provides an inventory terrestrial gastropods from a forest fragment eastern Acre state, Brazil: Humaitá Forest Reserve (“Reserva Florestal Humaitá”). Live specimens and empty shells were collected between August 2018 January 2019. A total species identified, distributed 11 families. Most (13) these recorded for first time....
Abstract: Samples of terrestrial gastropods were collected year-round in seven caves Presidente Olegário municipality, Minas Gerais state, southeastern Brazil, during several expeditions from 2012 to 2014. Twenty-four taxa (plus a single freshwater species), mainly stylommatophorans, found the material. The following species are reported for first time state: Alcadia iheringi Wagner, 1910 and Helicina sordida King, 1831 (Helicinidae); Cecilioides consobrina (d’Orbigny, 1841) (Ferussaciidae);...
The terrestrial and freshwater malacofauna of southern Bahia is little known, especially in comparison to the well-studied eastern portion state covered by remnants Atlantic Forest. We present here a synopsis all gastropod species known from central region state, as ‘Centro-Sul Baiano’, focusing on four municipalities: Condeúba, Cordeiros, Mortugaba, Piripá. list herein contains data literature, historical material deposited museum collections, two recent expeditions undertaken region....
Land-snail inventory suffers many gaps in knowledge, especially countries of the Global South such as Brazil. Studying undersampled regions and providing data on species distributions are among most pressing matters Brazilian malacology. Here, we study a sample land snails collected Central-West region Brazil (“Midwest”) housed Coleção Malacológica, Departamento de Biologia, Faculdade Filosofia, Ciências e Letras Ribeirão Preto (University São Paulo). Ten from seven families were identified...
O presente estudo avaliou dados epidemiológicos de neutropenia induzida por sulfato vincristina em cães com Tumor Venéreo Transmissível (TVT), num Hospital Veterinário do Noroeste paulista. Para tanto, trata-se um tipo retrospectivo protocolos eletrônicos e formulários manuais digitalizados 51 casos TVT. atendimento ambulatorial internação desses animais foi realizado no período setembro 2006 a dezembro 2009. Dentre os resultados, destaca-se que foram diagnosticados TVT, sendo 37 fêmeas...
Triatoma sordida is well distributed in Brazil and has great epidemiological importance. The presence of this vector an urban environment the state São Paulo already been reported, but without evidence colonization species. Surveillance triatomines carried out passively. This evaluation considered period from January 2021 to June 2024. Based on notifications made by residents compliance with these notifications, 228 specimens were collected environment.

An attempt to analyse the taxonomy of genus Solaropsis, aiming allocate a new species collected in Rio Cajari Extractive Reserve, Laranjal do Jari, Amapá State, Brazil, revealed that nebula uncertainties surrounds genus, from family level validity several species. initial taxonomic treatment is given for some taxa herein, resulting modifications such as S. pellisserpentis (Gmelin, 1791) an objective synonym undata ([Lightfoot], 1786); and cicatricata (Beck, 1853) oldest name...
