Abstract

No comprehensive study of the terrestrial gastropod fauna of northern New Brunswick has previously been undertaken. Most terrestrial gastropod molluscs are tiny and generally live unnoticed under debris, in leaf litter, and among other dead and living vegetation. Sifting and sorting collected samples of leaf litter are effective in sampling snails. In June–July 2015 and August 2016, 43 samples of forest leaf litter were collected in Nepisiguit Protected Natural Area and Mount Carleton Provincial Park. These samples yielded 22 species of terrestrial gastropods. Seven species are reported from New Brunswick for the first time.
