Endemism

Endemism is the state of a species only being found in a single defined geographic location, such as an island, state, nation, country or other defined zone; organisms that are indigenous to a place are not endemic to it if they are also found elsewhere.

See Partula auriculata and Endemism

Extinction

Extinction is the termination of a taxon by the death of its last member.

See Partula auriculata and Extinction

Family (biology)

Pulmonata

Pulmonata or pulmonates is an informal group (previously an order, and before that, a subclass) of snails and slugs characterized by the ability to breathe air, by virtue of having a pallial lung instead of a gill, or gills.
