The survey and sampling land snails in Tam Dao National Park were conducted from 2003 to 2011. We have identified 52 species and subspecies of terrestrial gastropods in Tam Dao, belonging to 31 genera, 13 families and 2 orders (Architaenioglossa, Stylommatophora), 2 subclass (Prosobranchia, Pulmonata). Of all families recorded: Cyclophoridae, Pupinidae, Subulinidae, Camaenidae, Bradybaenidae, Ariophantidae, Helicarionidae, Plectopylididae, Clausiliidae, Achatinellidae, Streptaxidae, Streptaxidae and Achatinidae, the family Cyclophoridae is the most abundant in number of species (up 19.23% of the total species), the Clausiliidae occupied the second place with 13.4% of the total species, and all the rest of families are less. The species of large size, widely distributed in many parts of northern Vietnam are Camaena vaysieri, Cyclophorus songmaensis, Cyclophorus siamensis and Cyclophorus exaltus, the tiny-sized species are Videna timorensis, Pupina anceyi and Pupina brachysoma. In habitat, the most abundant species are observed in natural forest, then in edge of forest, and least of all in cultivated land and wasteland. In surveying lines, the residential district of Tam Dao has the most abundant species. The dominant species in natural forest habitats belong to the families Ariophantidae and Helicarionidae, the common species widely distributed belong to the family Bradybaenidae, such as Bradybaena jourdyi, Bradybaena similaris. The dominant species in cultivated land belong to the families Clausiliidae and Subulinidae, a Achatina fulica is considered as an exotic species.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
