 The terrestrial snails of North America are a diverse and imperiled group but conservation status of the majority of species is uncertain. Previous research has estimated ~100 species of terrestrial snails occur in Wisconsin. Only 52 of these species have some information about their conservation status. This research is designed to assess what we know about Wisconsin lands snails, survey for land snails in the Driftless region of the state, and assess conservation status for snails that are potentially threatened or endangered. Items in development I. Key to Wisconsin land snails. A) Clickable key. B) Printable .pdf II. List of Wisconsin Land Snails with Conservation status and photos. III. How to collect snails IV. Glossary of snail terms - we are working on our own for Wisconsin land snails. For now the Smoky Mountains ATBI has an excellent glossary. V. Posters showing progress by summer 2010 and 2011 on Driftless Region land snails. VI.
