Abstract

ABSTRACT Coolah Tops is an isolated high elevation mesic refuge on the dry western slopes of the Great Dividing Range in New South Wales, eastern Australia. Field surveys of the land snail fauna of Coolah Tops National Park in 2000–2001 and 2018 sampled 28 sites between 556 and 1234 m elevation (Australian Height Datum). Over 1200 specimens in total were collected and were assigned to 29 species or morpho-species in six families. Seven taxa are currently known only from Coolah Tops. Preliminary assessment of five of these concluded they meet IUCN criteria for endangered status. The land snail community of the Coolah Tops highland area is threatened by anthropogenic climate change and is considered to be of outstanding conservation value.

澳大利亚新南威尔士州猎人谷地区库拉托普斯国家公园陆地蜗牛区系的调查和保护评估

摘要Coolah Tops是位于澳大利亚东部新南威尔士州Great Dividing Range西部干燥斜坡上的一个孤立的高海拔mesic避难所。2000-2001年和2018年对库拉托普斯国家公园陆地蜗牛动物群的实地调查采样了556至1234个地点 m高程（澳大利亚高程基准）。共收集了1200多个标本，分为6科29种或形态种。目前已知的七个分类群仅来自库拉顶部。对其中五种的初步评估得出结论，它们符合国际自然保护联盟的濒危状态标准。库拉高地地区的陆生蜗牛群落受到人为气候变化的威胁，被认为具有突出的保护价值。

期刊介绍： Molluscan Research is an international journal for the publication of authoritative papers and review articles on all aspects of molluscan research, including biology, systematics, morphology, physiology, ecology, conservation, biogeography, genetics, molecular biology and palaeontology. While the scope of the journal is worldwide, there is emphasis on studies relating to Australasia and the Indo-west Pacific, including East and South East Asia. The journal’s scope includes revisionary papers, monographs, reviews, theoretical papers and briefer communications. Monographic studies of up to 73 printed pages may also be considered. The journal has been published since 1957 (as the Journal of the Malacological Society of Australia until 1993). It is free to members of the Malacological Society of Australasia and the Society for the Study of Molluscan Diversity.
