This book explores the correlation between the weather and mollusk populations with a focus on the glacial period and its impact on extinct and extant species. The author studies the effect of climate and geographic conditions on freshwater mollusks, analyzing the climatic factors influencing their spread, extinction, and evolution. The text examines the impact of the cold climate of the Quaternary period, which gave rise to the current distribution of British land and freshwater mollusks, while also discussing the factors leading to the extinction of certain species during this time, such as Unio littoralis and Corbicula fluminalis.
