[ΕΠΠΠΟ: άλλη μια μελέτη για σπήλαια και την βιοποικιλοτητα τους, όπου το καρστικό πεδίο της Κεντρικής Εύβοιας, των Κοτυλαίων, έχει σημαντική θέση]
What`s crawling in the dark? An annotated list of gastropods in Greek caves
Abstract
Greece
is covered by a high percentage of carbonate rocks, resulting in a
significant number of over 10,000 caves within its territory. Their
fauna is not well known. Concerning gastropods, 68 terrestrial species
have been reported from 70 caves. In this study, we contribute to the
knowledge of the snails inhabiting Greek caves. We analyzed the
literature and studied all the material deposited in the Natural History
Museum of Crete, to create a first comprehensive list of gastropods of
Greek caves. The number of caves from which gastropod species were
reported increased to 182, while the number of known terrestrial species
increased to 113. Fourteen of these species live only in caves, twelve
of which are endemic of Greece. However, the fauna of Greek caves is
still understudied. With the increasing exploration of Greek caves, the
number of the known cave-dwelling gastropod species will increase and
new species will be discovered.
