"Although many studies have dealt with the spatial distribution of land-snail species and individuals, the effect of quadrat size on the interpretation of distributional patterns at small scales has rarely been investigated. We studied the spatial pattern of terrestrial snail distributions within a continuously sampled area of homogeneous habitat at very small scales (,1 m2). The sampling was conducted in two contrasting habitat types: deciduous forests (29 sites) and treeless fens (23 sites) in Central Europe; each site consisted of three nested quadrats (25 25 cm2, 50 50 cm2 and 75 75 cm2). On average the forest plots harboured higher numbers of species than fen plots and fen assemblages were composed of significantly smaller species in body volume. Numbers of species and individuals in smaller quadrats estimated from those present in larger ones often deviated significantly from those actually observed, showing frequently aggregated distribution of snails." .
