Summary/Abstract: The distribution of terrestrial and aquatic molluscs in urban biotopes of Odessa was investigated. 41 species were found. A specific climatic regime is formed in the big cities in contrast to natural environment. At the same time, urban biotopes are more similar to each other than natural biotopes. As a result, the big cities are places of accumulation of non-indigenous species.
