Littorinid fauna of Xiamen, China (Gastropoda, Littorinimorpha)
厦门滨螺科软体动物区系及其分布初报
Abstract
Littorinidae exhibits remarkable diversity in intertidal and subtidal zones worldwide, with many species closely associated with mangrove ecosystems. In recent years, the taxonomy of littorinids in the western Pacific has undergone substantial revisions through integrative studies of morphology, molecular phylogenetics, and ecological characteristics. In this paper, we report nine littorinid species recorded from various localities in Xiamen, Fujian Province, China. Specimens and live individuals were examined and photographed, their habitats documented, and certain taxonomic information updated based on the latest research.
