Abstract

North American native mollusks are among the most imperiled group of organisms in the world, however, not much was known of the mollusk fauna in the Shawnee National Forest (SNF) in southern Illinois. Our objective was to compile a list of historical and extant mollusks known from the area. Our data show 52 mollusk species are known from the SNF, including 28 native bivalves, one non-indigenous bivalve, eight native freshwater snail species, and 15 native terrestrial snails
