Abstract

A pioneering study was conducted to assess the mollusks diversity of Wangtakrai Park, Nakhon Nayok Province in central Thailand, a long-standing recreational site with no previous molluscan records. Over a two-year period (2022-2024), six sampling rounds using nocturnal line transects and surveys along stream banks yielded 14 species, 12 genera from eight families of molluscan species. These included nine species and eight genera from four families of land snails and five species, four genera from four families of freshwater snails. The invasive alien species, Pomacea canaliculata, was also found.
