Made as part of the LIFE Artemis project, a Slovenian project that works on education about invasive exotic species in forests.

They have previously put a Slovenian version of this book online. The new English version is not a literal translation: the entire text has been adapted to an international target group and a number of species have been replaced.

The species descriptions are also posted on the project website.

Original unreadable version, probably in Slovenian: https://www.invazivke.si/dat/prirocnik.pdf

Nice book about the new speciesā€¦ i also found this oneā€¦which was to my surprise in Dutch because the paper version is always in English, and the title of the book it also in English https://www.altwym.nl/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/266Living-on-the-Edge-NL-1.pdf

I though Helix pomiata (Wijngaardslak) is a endangered species because it is eatenby humans

3

My biggest question is why does it lacks mollusks?

4

Maybe because are no Molusks who are also ā€˜Alien-speciesā€™ ?

5

Helix pomatia (and other Helix) outside native range, Krynickillus melanocephalus (invasive), probably much more.

6

Is Helix-pomatia an invasive species in European forests?
And Krynickillus-melanocephalus?

Molusks in "Handbook of Alien Species in Europeā€™ā€™

Yes. https://www.cabi.org/isc/datasheet/115084 in Belarus it was found in 2010 and already considered invasive, though more with agroculture habitats, but it perfectly live both in forests and semi-open habitats. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/20360403
H. pomatia is considered invasive in many regiions of Russia (European), it prefers sub- urban habits, but you find it in parks and open forests too.

The original document is from Slovenia. This document is translated and some species are added but it was never the goal to add all invasive species, choices have to be madeā€¦

Sure, Iā€™m not complaining it doesnā€™t have Cornus alba or some other species, but the whole type is not represented.
