First observation of Cantareus apertus (Born, 1778) (Gastropoda, Eupulmonata, Helicidae) in Serbia

Key Points

The first documented occurrence of cantareus apertus in Serbia highlights biodiversity changes in the region.
A single individual of cantareus apertus was identified in a plant nursery in Novi Sad, indicating human influence.
The report confirms the presence of eight allochthonous helicoideans in Serbia thus far, raising ecological concerns.
This finding expands our understanding of snail distribution dynamics in Serbia and emphasizes future monitoring needs.
