New occurrence of Melanoides tuberculata reported, indicating potential ecological significance in North Africa.
Records of Melanoides tuberculata (Müller, 1774) in Morocco have been scarce and often based on empty shells only. In this study, we report a new occurrence of this species at the Sidi Hrazem thermal spring in north-central Morocco, where high-density populations were recorded. We also provide an overview of its autoecology and reassess its biogeographical status in Morocco and North Africa.
