Abstract

On the territory of the city of Baranovichi 4 species of mollusks of the family Helicidae have been recorded: Arianta arbustorum (Linnaeus, 1758), Cepaea nemoralis (Linnaeus, 1758), Helix pomatia Linnaeus, 1758 and Helix lutescens Rossmässler, 1837. Molluscs A. arbustorum and H. pomatia are widely distributed in the city of Baranovichi and the number of molluscs in their populations under the most favourable conditions is quite high: from 4 to 16 specimens
per m2 for the former and from 4 to 24 specimens per m2 for the latter. The species C. nemoralis and H. lutescens are represented by a small number of local populations. Due to the large size of the mollusks of the family Helicidae, there is a special character of anthropogenic impact on their populations in the city, which consists in direct death in asphalt pavement areas, as well as probability of removal from the environment.
