Abstract

We measured 726 specimens of Granaria frumentum (Draparnaud, 1801) from Szársomlyó and Oltárkő, and this was completed with earlier data from Kereszteskő. We aimed to show the relationship between macroclimatic factors and shell morphometry of Granaria frumentum.We found differences among the populations came from the three different localities according to the macroclimatic trend. Correlation between mode of height of the shells in the populations and mean temperature is positive, correlation between mode of height of the shells in the populations and the ammount of precipitation is negative.
