Terrestrial Mollusks Respond to Logging in Riparian Areas
Year: 2014
Little is known about the biology and response to environmental change of native, terrestrial mollusks in the Pacific Northwest. Because of mollusk affinities to moist environments, the effect of human-caused habitat alteration from logging is assumed to be detrimental but is largely unknown. This s...
