Annotated Bibliography

I am in the early stages of developing a project to examine the microhabitats and potential habitat overlap between the native Pacific sideband snail, Monadenia fidelis, and an introduced snail (Cornu aspersum) in Oregon. Below is an annotated bibliography for my background reading to date.

The references have been grouped into two categories: papers related to “Citizen Science” and papers related to “Snail Distribution and Physiology”. Each abbreviated citation can be expanded to show the full citation, my summary of the paper, and its relevance to my planned project.

Citizen Science

Backstrom, et al. 2024. Ecology and Evolution, 14(2), e10857

Relevance: I’m interested in trying to map distributions of two snail species using citizen science data. The most important take-home points from Backstrom, et al., 2024 are that (1) data on some species is likely reliable, but data on species that are rare or have large or remote ranges are likely insufficient, and (2) assessment of data adequacy at the species-level is necessary. One of the two species (Monadenia fidelis) that I am interested in is native to Oregon, and can be found throughout the Coastal Range; the findings of this paper indicate that M. fidelis is likely under-surveyed. The other species, Cornu aspersum, is invasive and has generally been reported in the Willamette Valley and coastal Oregon. It is very possible that C. aspersum is found in the Coastal Range, but is under-surveyed. I’ll need to consider how to address this concern in any data analyses.
