Subspecies
Several subspecies are recognized by some authors:
- Arianta arbustorum alpicola Férussac, 1821
- Arianta arbustorum arbustorum (Linnaeus, 1758)
- Arianta arbustorum canigonensis (Boubée, 1833)
- Arianta arbustorum picea
- Arianta arbustorum pseudorudis (Schlesch, 1924)
- Arianta arbustorum repellini (Reeve, 1852)
- Arianta arbustorum styriaca (Frauenfeld, 1868)
- Arianta arbustorum vareliensis Ripken & Falkner, 2000
Distribution
This species is native to Europe:
- North-western and central Europe with Alps and Carpathians[4]
- Netherlands[5]
- Austria
- Czech Republic
- Slovakia
- Poland
- Switzerland. One of the most frequent species of land snails in Switzerland, can be very abundant, up to 20 adults per square meter.[4]
- eastern Pyrenees, Spain[4]
- Norway[4]
- Iceland[4]
- Faroe Islands[6]
- the British Isles: Great Britain and Ireland[4] In Britain the species suffered slightly from intensive farming and the continuous destructions of suitable uncultivated refuges.[4] It is rare in Ireland.[4]
- Kaliningrad[4]
- Finland. In Finland, it has become so common in the Porvoo region east of Helsinki, that it is locally called the "Porvoo snail".
- Estonia[4]
- Latvia[4]
- scattered to Serbia[4]
- Bulgaria[4] It is rare in Bulgaria.[4]
- western Ukraine[4]
Arianta arbustorum is introduced to North America, but is only known from Canada, where established populations are known from Newfoundland, New Brunswick, Ontario,[7] and Prince Edward Island.[8]
This species has not yet become established in the US, but it is considered to represent a potentially serious threat as a pest, an invasive species which could negatively affect agriculture, natural ecosystems, human health or commerce. Therefore, it has been suggested that this species be given top national quarantine significance in the USA.[9]
Description
The shell is usually brown with numerous pale yellowish rows of spots and usually with a brown band above the periphery, occasionally yellowish, reddish or with greenish hue, weakly striated and with fine spiral lines on the upper side.[4] The shell has 5-5.5 convex whorls with deep suture.[4] The last whorl is slightly descending near the aperture.[4] The aperture is with prominent white lip inside.[4] The apertural margin is reflected.[4] Umbilicus is entirely covered by the reflected columellar margin.[4]
The width of the shell is 18–25 mm.[4] The height of the shell is 12–22 mm.[4] Dimensions are locally variable.[4]
The shell shape is globular in most present-day populations, but originally is believed to have been depressed in the Pleistocene, before lowlands were invaded and shells became globular, re-invading mountain regions except some isolated spots among glaciers.[4]
The animal is usually black.[4]
Life cycle
Arianta arbustorum lives in forests and open habitats of any kind.[4] It requires humidity.[4] It lives also in disturbed habitats (not in Ireland where it is restricted to old native woodland).[4] It may locally tolerate non-calcareous substrate, in north Scotland also on sandhills.[4] In the Alps up to 2700 m, in Britain 1200 m, in Bulgaria 1500 m.[4]
It feeds on green herbs, dead animals and faeces.[4]
If snails hatched more than 50 m distant from each other, they are considered isolated since they would not move more than 25 m (neighbourhood area 32–50 m), usually they move about 7–12 m in a year, mostly along water currents.[4]
This species of snail makes and uses calcareous love darts during mating. Reproduction is usually after copulation, but self-fertilization is also possible.[4] The size of the egg is 3.2 mm.[10] Maturity is reached after 2–4 years.[4] The maximum age up to 14 years.[4]
Angiostrongylus vasorum has successfully experimentally infected this snail.[11]
Prevention
Metaldehyde and iron phosphate can be used to exterminate snails.[12] Since copper generates electric shocks that make it difficult for snails to move, it makes a great barrier material for them.[13]
