Australia' s native land snails are an often-overlooked invertebrate group that forms a significant part of terrestrial biodiversity, with an estimated 2500 species present in Australia today. A Guide to Land Snails of Australia is an overview of Australia' s native and introduced land snail faunas, offering a greater understanding of their role in the natural environment. The book presents clear diagnostic features of live snails and their shells, and is richly illustrated with a broad range of Australia' s native snail, semi-slug and slug species. Comprehensive coverage is also included of the many exotic species introduced to Australia. In a unique bioregional approach, the reader is taken on a trek through some of Australia' s spectacular regional landscapes, highlighting their endemic and special snail faunas. This section is supplemented with key localities where species can be found.
