Recent distribution of Sphaerium nucleus (Studer, 1820)
(Bivalvia: Sphaeriidae) in the Czech Republic
Tereza Kořínková, Luboš Beran & Michal Horsák
Recent data about the distribution of
Sphaerium nucleus in the
Czech Republic are summarized and used in an attempt to evaluate its
conservation status. During the last ten years, this species was found
at 40 sites, mostly shallow small water bodies situated in lowland river
alluviums. These types of habitats are generally endangered due to the
huge human impact and exploration of these areas. The revision of
voucher specimens of
Sphaerium corneum s.lat. deposited in
museum collections yielded a further 22 old records of
S. nucleus.
