Conhological parameters of populations of terrestrial snails (Cepea hortensis, Helix pomatia) in the urboecosystem of Chervonograd city

Abstract

The variability of morphological and conchological parameters of terrestrial snails (Cepea hortensis, Helix pomatia) which inhabit the areas with different degree of anthropological transformation is analyzed. The emission of species which inhabit the areas of Chervonograd city depends on complex of climatic (temperature, humidity) and anthropological (pollution, trampling down and other) factors. Tendency oт the links between morphological and conchological parameters оf the terrestrial snails’ shells and the microclimate of the environment (either town or relatively natural) was found.
