Location of Sri Lanka


The non-marine molluscs of Sri Lanka are a part of the molluscan wildlife of Sri Lanka.


Naggs et al. (2003) listed 246 land gastropods for Sri Lanka.[1] Ranawana (2006) listed 18 species of non-indigenous land gastropods in Sri Lanka and he added some species to that list.[2]


The fauna of Sri Lanka also includes freshwater snails and freshwater bivalves.

Westermarck effect

(November 2014) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) The Westermarck effect , or reverse sexual imprinting, is a hypothetical psychological effect through which people who live in close domestic proximity during the first few years of their lives become desensitized to sexual attraction.

Observations interpreted as evidence for the Westermarck effect have since been made in many places and cultures, including in the Israeli kibbutz system, and the Chinese Shim-pua marriage customs, as well as in biologically-related families. In the case of the Israeli kibbutzim (collective farms), children...
