Omphiscola glabra is a species of small to medium-size, air-breathing, freshwater snail, an aquatic pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Lymnaeidae.[2]
Distribution
This European snail can be found from southern Scandinavia (61° N) to southern Spain.[3]
- endangered in Germany. Critically endangered in Western Germany (Rheinland-Pfalz, Saarland, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Hessen). Extinct in Bavaria.[3]
- Netherlands
- one site in the south east of Ireland was found in 2009, but it is listed as extinct at at local red list (2009).[4]
- vulnerable in Great Britain[3]
The distribution of Omphiscola glabra is very scattered and rare.[3] It is seriously threatened, at many places extinct.[3] It is threatened by continuous habitat destruction by drainage and intensive farming.[3] Acriculturally induced eutrophication and drainage are threats. Omphiscola glabra has disappeared widely from urbanized areas such as London.[3]
Shell description
The shell is strongly cylindrical, horny, often with a brownish or blackish surface, the apex is blunt, 7-8 moderately convex whorls, with last whorl being twice as high as the narrow aperture, and with aperture often with white lip.[3]
The height of the shell is 9–12 mm,[3] up to 15 mm[5] or up to 20 mm.[3] The width of the shell is 3–4 mm,[3] up to 5.5 mm.[5]
Habitat
This snail lives in places such as swampy meadows and ditches.[6]
Omphiscola glabra is said to occur in small areas of standing water that have a lot of vegetation such as swamps, and also in standing forest waters with leaf litter, often in water with organic iron contents and low calcium contents.[3][clarification needed]
In Britain however, this species occurs in small standing waters that are low in nutrients, with poor aquatic flora, often in waters drying out periodically.[3] They usually do not occur in habitats with high molluscan diversity, and usually in habitats on uncultivated land.[3] They are calciphile and have a pH tolerance of 5.4-8.8.[3][clarification needed]
Reproduction begins in May.[3] Juveniles hatch after 15–25 days.[3] Omphiscola glabra has two generations per year.[3]
Parasites
Omphiscola glabra can serve as an intermediate host for several digenean trematodes. In France, Omphiscola glabra was naturally infected with Fasciola hepatica,[7] Paramphistomum daubnei,[8] and Haplometra cylindracea.[9] Moreover, a recent report suggests that the species is also susceptible to Fascioloides magna infection.[10]
