Renea bourguignatiana
Renea bourguignatiana
Renea bourguignatiana is a gastropod in the family Aciculidae (order Architaenioglossa), recorded as Critically Endangered and tied to Italy and France.
The gastropod
Gastropods are snails and slugs. The animal is the soft body; the shell, when present, is grown, not worn like a stone.
Range and habitat
The survival of this species is threatened by habitat loss.
GBIF currently lists 18 occurrence points. Those points follow where people logged the taxon — museum drawers and surveys included — not a closed range boundary.
Pins are Wikidata “endemic to” fields. Orange dots, when present, are GBIF occurrence tiles — survey bias included.
Diet
Snails move on a single foot and feed with a rasping tongue. Island and spring species rarely recolonise once the site is emptied.
In crisis
Renea bourguignatiana is Critically Endangered on this catalog because that is the IUCN category stored on Wikidata. Confirm the official criteria and any later count on iucnredlist.org.
