科学家在黑山发现了两个新蜗牛物种，分别命名为 Cochlostoma komarnica 和 Cochlostoma dobrido 1。这两个物种的壳长约6毫米，具有独特的眼睛位置和可以像门一样关闭的圆形盖片 1。其中 Cochlostoma komarnica 发现于科玛尼察峡谷，该峡谷位于黑山杜米托尔国家公园内 1。
这项研究发表在《生物多样性数据期刊》2026年第14卷上 1。然而，这一发现也突显了当地生态的脆弱性。科玛尼察峡谷正面临被拟建水电大坝及其水库淹没的风险 1。研究人员警告称，这将"破坏这个野生河流峡谷及其所有的生物多样性，包括许多仍未被发现的物种" 1。黑山生态学会已呼吁将科玛尼察峡谷纳入联合国教科文组织杜米托尔世界遗产的保护范围，并放弃相关水电项目计划 1。
Researchers have identified two previously unknown snail species in Montenegro: Cochlostoma komarnica and Cochlostoma dobrido, each featuring shells approximately 6 millimeters in length.1 Both species possess distinctive eye positions and circular opercula—lid-like structures that close over their shells in the manner of doors.1 The discovery was made through expeditions conducted between 2018 and 2025 in the Durmitor National Park region and the Komarnica Gorge.1 The findings were published in the Biodiversity Data Journal, Volume 14, in 2026.1
The discovery carries conservation implications, particularly for Cochlostoma komarnica, which inhabits the threatened Komarnica Gorge.1 According to researchers, the gorge faces submersion from a planned hydroelectric dam and reservoir project.1 Jovana Đokić stated that such development "will destroy this wild river gorge and all of its biodiversity, including many yet-undiscovered species."1 In response to these concerns, Montenegro's ecological society has called for the Komarnica Gorge to be incorporated into UNESCO's Durmitor World Heritage designation and for the hydroelectric project to be abandoned.1
