Conservation of the Lymnaeidae

The Lymnaeidae

Abstract

Like many other groups of freshwater Mollusca, the lymnaeid snails are prone to extinction, the main cause of which is currently habitat degradation. Unfortunately, only a modest portion of species of this species have been assessed from the conservationist’s point of view, and the available information on distribution, ecology, and population trends of many of the assessed species is not enough to determine their current conservation status. The chapter deals with the state of the art of lymnaeid conservation and reviews the existing advances and challenges in the field. A quantitative analysis of the patterns of a rarity among the Lymnaeidae, based on the available IUCN assessments of their conservation status, is presented. A single case of a presumed rarity at the global scale (Myxas glutinosa) is reviewed and discussed. The article provides a brief overview of the eight shortfalls “impairing knowledge and conservation of freshwater molluscs” (Lopes-Lima et al., Hydrobiologia 848(11–12):2831–2867, 2021), with discussion of their application to protection and conservation of the lymnaeid snails.
