Abstract
Abstract The snail and slug fauna of the Kabylia region (Bouira and Tizi-Ouzou) was studied during the years 2018/2019 and 2020/2021, focusing on seven stations belonging to three altitudinal levels (low, middle, and high altitude). A total of 5111 individuals were collected and 29 species were identified, with confirmation of the existence of Leiostyla anglica in the Kabylia region. Our results showed that altitude has a significant effect on the distribution and abundance of terrestrial gastropods in the study area – the low-altitude sites had the highest number of species (S = 21), while the high-altitude sites had the lowest species richness (S = 10).
期刊介绍：
The Journal Ecology (Bratislava) places the main emphasis on papers dealing with complex characteristics of ecosystems. Treated are not only general, theoretical and methodological but also particular practical problems of landscape preservation and planning. The ecological problems of the biosphere are divided into four topics: ecology of populations: study of plant and animal populations as basic components of ecosystems, ecosystem studies: structure, processes, dynamics and functioning of ecosystems and their mathematical modelling, landscape ecology: theoretical and methodical aspects, complex ecological investigation of territorial entities and ecological optimization of landscape utilization,
