To do this, a total of 12 transects (50 m) were laid perpendicular to the shore, and vertical quadrats were used for mangrove trees assessed every 5 m along the line transects. Gastropods were identified and counted on the mangrove tree leaves, trunks, and roots found in the natural and replanted sites. A total of 16 gastropod species from four families (Littorinidae, Neritidae, Trochidae, and Siphonariidae) were found. All 16 species were found in the natural sites, whereas four species—<i>Nerita albicilla</i> Linnaeus, 1758, <i>Nerita histrio </i>Linnaeus, 1758, <i>Siphonaria sirius</i> Pilsbry, 1894, and <i>Siphonaria atra</i> Quoy &amp; Gaimard, 1833—were absent from the replanted sites. Overall, more gastropods found in the replanted sites compared with the naturally grown sites (<i>t</i>-tests, df = 166, mean difference = -0.463, <i>t</i>-value = -7.42, <i>P</i> = 0.000) although the natural sites hosted more diverse species (<i>H’</i> = 2.41 vs 2.39). The results suggest the need to improve mangrove conservation, including planting more mangrove species suitable for these habitats as they act as refugia for gastropods, other invertebrates and marine organisms.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Abundance and diversity of gastropods in replanted and natural mangrove sites in Guang-guang, Dahican, Mati City, Philippines","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-04-28 01:41:50.718696","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":"arboreal gastropods, diversity, Guang-guang, mangrove fauna, Mati City","OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2026,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2026-04-21","DateCreate":"2026-04-21","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":null,"VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":1,"DOI":"10.69721/tps.j.2026.18.1.10"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":438796,"PubliDate":2026,"Pagination":"90-95","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"18","Issue":"1","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":325275,"SerRR":"The Palawan Scientist.
