Littorina compressa is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Littorinidae, the winkles or periwinkles.[1]
Littorina compressa are native to Western Europe,[2][3] and have also been found in the North Atlantic sea[4] and in Russia.[3]
Littorina compressa share are extremely similar in appearance to their sibling species[5] Littorina saxatilis and Littorina arcana.[6] The three species have been found to grow together.[5][7][6]
