bio.wikisort.org - Animal

The non-marine molluscs of Nicaragua are a part of the molluscan wildlife of Nicaragua. A number of species of non-marine molluscs are found in the wild in Nicaragua.

There are ?? species of gastropods (?? species of freshwater gastropods, at least 79[1] species of land gastropods) and ?? species of freshwater bivalves living in the wild.

A field study by Pérez & Aburto (2008)[2] has shown that the primary forest had highest biodiversity of molluscs in comparison to other land use types.
