Abstract
Vertigo moulinsiana (Dupuy, 1849) was found in 2003–2005 in Northern Bohemia (Czech Republic) at 11 sites. All these sites are situated on floodplains of smaller streams in a sandstone area. The known occurrence of this endangered relict in the Czech Republic is concentrated in three areas – a large area of Bohemian Cretaceous Basin, a floodplain near villages Břežany and Božice (Dyje River Basin) in Southern Moravia and small, isolated, treeless fens in the White Carpathians (Bílé Karpaty Mts.). The principal habitats where V. moulinsiana lives in the Czech Republic are sedge marshes, Typha swamps, reed swamps (with Carex spp.), alder carrs (also with Carex spp.) and tufa-forming spring fens.
Highlights
Distribution in the Czech RepublicVertigo moulinsiana (Dupuy, 1849) is considered to be an Atlantic-Mediterranean species, with continuos range in Southern Europe and isolated sites in Central Europe, Iberian Peninsula and – outside Europe – in Northern Africa (POKRYSZKO 2003)
V. moulinsiana is regarded as globally threatened (POKRYSZKO 2003) and is considered to be a relict from the Late Holocene, when it inhabited the extensive wetlands, which occurred during this period (LOŽEK 1955)
Most these sites were included among pSCI and many of them are situated within protected areas of different categories (Protected Landscape Area, National Nature Reserve, National Nature Monuments, Nature Reserve, Nature Monument)
