Through its six Commissions, lUCN draws together over 5000 expert volunteers in project teams and action groups. A central secretariat coordinates the lUCN Programme and leads initiatives on the conservation and sustainable use of the world's biological diversity and the management of habitats and natural resources, as well as providing a range of services. The Union has helped many countries to prepare National Conservation Strategies, and demonstrates the application of its knowledge through the field projects it supervises. Operations are increasingly decentralised and are carried forward by an expanding network of regional and country offices, located principally in developing countries. I UCN - The World Conservation Union seeks above all to work with its members to achieve development that is sustainable and that provides a lasting Improvement in the quality of life for people all over the world. -

Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Guide to Users Background What is the summary for and where does it come from? This summary has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. It highlights important elements of the biodiversity of the region in two ways: • Listing species which may be significant for management because they are found only in the region, mainly in the region, or they have a conservation status such as endangered or vulnerable. • Comparing the region to other parts of Australia in terms of the composition and distribution of its species, to suggest components of its biodiversity which may be nationally significant. The summary was produced using the Australian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. Limitations • ANHAT currently contains information on the distribution of over 30,000 Australian taxa. This includes all mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and fish, 137 families of vascular plants (over 15,000 species) and a range of invertebrate groups. The list of families covered in ANHAT is shown in Appendix 1. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are are not not included included in the in the summary. • The data used for this summary come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect. -
Changes in the Terrestrial Molluscan Fauna of Miti'āro
Tuhinga 21: 75–98 Copyright © Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa (2010) Changes in the terrestrial molluscan fauna of Miti‘äro, southern Cook Islands Fred J. Brook*, Richard K. Walter** and Jacqueline A. Craig*** * PO Box 3123, Onerahi, Whangarei, New Zealand ([email protected]) ** Department of Anthropology, University of Otago, PO Box 56, Dunedin, New Zealand ([email protected]) *** 31 Yeovil Rd, Te Atatu Peninsula, Auckland, New Zealand ([email protected]) ABSTRACT: Thirty-seven species of terrestrial molluscs (36 landsnails and one slug) are recorded from Miti‘äro, a low-lying makatea island in the southern Cook Islands. The fauna was found to consist predominantly of non-indigenous and cryptogenic species, and lacked local endemics. Comparison of fossil and modern assemblages indicates declines and extirpation/extinction of some species, including three species of Endodontidae, over the last several hundred years. There have also been synanthropic introductions of many non-indigenous species, beginning in the prehistoric period, and including a major influx over the last 100 years or so of species ultimately derived from source areas outside the Pacific basin. KEYWORDS: Pacific Ocean, landsnail fauna, fossil landsnails, non-indigenous species, extinctions, Holocene faunal changes. Introduction earliest known collections of landsnails from Miti‘äro were made by Sir Peter Buck in 1929 and are held by Miti‘äro (latitude 19°52'S, longitude 157°42'W) in the the Bernice P.Bishop Museum, Honolulu. Craig (1995) Cook Islands archipelago, southeastern Polynesia, is in a pro duced the first account of the landsnail fauna of Miti‘äro, group of four islands collectively known as Ngaputoru. -
Sri Lankan Snail Diversity: Faunal Origins and Future Prospects
DOI: 10.18195/issn.0313-122x.68.2005.011-029 Records ofthe Western Australian Museum Supplement No. 68: 11-29 (2005). Sri Lankan snail diversity: faunal origins and future prospects 1 1 Fred Naggs and Dinarzarde Raheem ,2 1 Department of Zoology, The Natural History Museum, London SW7 SBD, UK. 2 Department of Zoology, University of Cambridge, Cambridge CB2 3EJ, UK. Abstract - Sri Lankan snails have a complex history that might be linked to events ranging from Mesozoic plate tectonics and climate change on a global scale to more recent regional climate change and human impact. The fauna could include ancient groups that may have been present in Pangaea, diversified in Gondwana and survived in Deccan Plate refugia at the KIT boundary and Pangaean taxa that arrived via Eurasia. Taxa could have been assimilated from continental fragments encountered during the northward rafting of the Deccan Plate. Fauna colonising immediately following Eurasian contact could have been a regional fauna associated with Tibetan plateau plate fragments. There may have been a brief period when an Arabian corridor was open to African faunas and there was likely to have been a succession of immigrants through the Assam corridor or through long distance dispersal. The presence of Acavus and Oligospira as endemic acavoids in Sri Lanka and the complete absence of acavoids from India as well as the presence of at least 10 species of CoriIla and only one in India, give a greater potential Gondwanan identity to Sri Lanka's snail fauna. A similar pattern with Tortulosa may also have ancient origins. It is possible, but perhaps doubtful, that this picture has been sustained since the KIT boundary. -

A number of private and public libraries have been most kind. Two libraries at the Smithsonian Institu- tion in washington, D.C. have been particularly helpful. These are the general institutional Library and the Depart ment of Mollusks library. The. Mollusk Library at the Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University, allowed me to spend two days copying pertinent and otherwise unavailable literature. Libraries of both the-University of Washington (Seattle) and the University of Maryland (College Park) have been searched for information. In Hawaii, literature has been acquired at both the B. P. Bishop Museum and University of Hawaii libraries; the University of Guam library has also been utilized. Personally, Dr. G. J. Vermeij, University of Maryland has made substantial contributions and greatly as sisted in this study. Additional thanks are extended to Jo Eldredge who managed to remain calm during the compilation and final editing of this catalog. This report is a thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Hawaii in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the M.L.S. degree - ABSTRACT Through a review of the major nomenclatorial works, a total of 780 species names were recorded, all having been described within tbe genus Nerjta of the archaeogastropod family Neritiaae. -
