Critically Endangered
Theodoxus baeticus
Theodoxus baeticus
Theodoxus baeticus is a dawhilahila.
The gastropod
It was first described by Jean-Baptiste Lamarck in 1822.
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
Theodoxus baeticus is recorded from Spain, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Tunisia, and Albania.
GBIF currently lists 597 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
Theodoxus baeticus 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.
