The faunistic composition, taxonomy, distribution, and ecological complexes of terrestrial pulmonate mollusks found in the soil
types of the agro - and natural landscapes of Samarkand Region have been studied for the first time. A total of 43 mollusk species
were identified within the region; these species belong to 24 genera and 18 families. The mollusks are distributed across the region’s
plain agrocenoses - on grey soils and hydromorphic soils - as well as in mountain and foothill brown soils. The territory hosts
species representing mesophilic, xeromesophilic, calcephilic, geophilic, amphibiont, and eurybiont ecological complexes, and five
adventive species have been recorded.
