No full textThe authors regret that Table 4 contains some wrong values (R2 instead of Adjusted R2 values) concerning explained variation in variation partitioning analysis. Incorrect values are reported in Table 4 ([A + B + C + D + E + F + G]; [A + D + F + G]; [B + D + E + G]; [C + E + F + G]) and one also in text ([A + B + C + D + E + F + G], i.e. total variation explained by all predictors). This resulted in an erroneous summation of variation fractions in the aforementioned table. Fractions statistically tested were reported correctly. Authors would like to confirm that these changes will have only some minor consequences since they do not affect conclusions as well as other sections in the manuscript. A corrected version of Table 4 is attached. The authors would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused
Gulella io Verdcourt, 1974 and Oxychilus alliarius (Miller, 1822): first reports of two greenhouse snails in Italy (Gastropoda: Streptaxidae, Oxychilidae)
No full textSeveral species new for Italy, including Gulella io and Oxychilus alliarius, were found during surveys on alien slugs and snails in greenhouses of Italian botanical gardens and scientific museums. Gulella io is native to tropical Africa but has been described from specimens collected in European greenhouses since the 1930s. Two shells and living juvenile specimen of this species were collected in 2019 in the Botanical Garden of Padua. Oxychilus alliarius has a wide range in Europe but is absent from Italy: previous records have generally proved to be based on misidentification of other Oxychilus species. Several shells and living specimens were found in 2024 in the Aquarium of Genoa; a bleached shell probably belonging to O. alliarius had previously been found in the Citta Studi Botanical Garden, Milan. Easily transported with plants, this predatory snail has been unwittingly introduced to almost all countries of the world and in some areas is threatening the native fauna. Unlike tropical species, it may escape from greenhouses and acclimatize in Italy, but its impact is likely to be negligible since many members of this genus with a similar ecology are already present and widespread in the country
Pseudotachea Boettger, 1909 (Gastropoda: Pulmonata, Helicidae) from the Pleistocene of the Valdelsa Basin (central Italy)
No full textFossil shells of helicid snails were collected in clayey and calcareous lithofacies of the Campiglia dei Foci Synthem, cropping out near Colle Val d'Elsa and San Gimignano of early Middle Pleistocene age. The specimens, consisting of shells and internal casts of shells, are assigned to Pseudotachea. cf splendida (Draparnaud, 1801). Literature records of alleged Pseudotachea species dating back to the Tertiary and Quaternary are discussed: many belong to different taxa, and others require further revision. In conclusion, specimens from the Valdelsa Basin are the most ancient known members of Pseudotachea, and constitute the first record of this genus from Italy; they also provide valuable information about paleoenvironmental conditions where the limestones of the Valdelsa Basin were formed
