Gastropod species found in birds' nests from Argentina

Bird's nests are specialized habitats that are inhabited by a diverse suite of invertebrates, such as insects, spiders, pseudoscorpions, and ticks. This study presents a list of gastropods found in birds' nests from Argentina for the first time. A total of 138 specimens of gastropods, belo...
