We tried to clarifythese issues with 496bp sequencesfrom the mitochondrialcytochrome-b gene of 12 taxa representingthree putative subspecies of Pseudobulweria,seven species in six othergenera of the Procellariidae(fulmars, petrels, and shearwaters),and onespecies each from the Hydrobatidae(storm-petrels) and Pelecanoidi- dae (diving-petrels).We alsoinclude published sequences for two otherpetrels (Procellaria cinereaand Macronectesgiganteus ) and use Diomedeaexulans and Pelecanuserythrorhynchos as outgroups.Based on thepronounced sequence divergence (5 to 5.5%)and separate phylo- genetichistory from othergenera that havebeen thought to be closelyrelated to or have beensynonymized with Pseudobulweria,we conclude that the genusis valid, and that the MascarenePetrel (Pseudobulweria aterrima)

  • Taxonomy, Conservation, and the Future of Native Aquatic Snails in the Hawaiian Islands
    diversity Perspective Taxonomy, Conservation, and the Future of Native Aquatic Snails in the Hawaiian Islands Carl C. Christensen 1,2, Kenneth A. Hayes 1,2,* and Norine W. Yeung 1,2 1 Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum, Honolulu, HI 96817, USA; [email protected] (C.C.C.); [email protected] (N.W.Y.) 2 Pacific Biosciences Research Center, University of Hawaii, Honolulu, HI 96822, USA * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Freshwater systems are among the most threatened habitats in the world and the biodi- versity inhabiting them is disappearing quickly. The Hawaiian Archipelago has a small but highly endemic and threatened group of freshwater snails, with eight species in three families (Neritidae, Lymnaeidae, and Cochliopidae). Anthropogenically mediated habitat modifications (i.e., changes in land and water use) and invasive species (e.g., Euglandina spp., non-native sciomyzids) are among the biggest threats to freshwater snails in Hawaii. Currently, only three species are protected either federally (U.S. Endangered Species Act; Erinna newcombi) or by Hawaii State legislation (Neritona granosa, and Neripteron vespertinum). Here, we review the taxonomic and conservation status of Hawaii’s freshwater snails and describe historical and contemporary impacts to their habitats. We conclude by recommending some basic actions that are needed immediately to conserve these species. Without a full understanding of these species’ identities, distributions, habitat requirements, and threats, many will not survive the next decade, and we will have irretrievably lost more of the unique Citation: Christensen, C.C.; Hayes, books from the evolutionary library of life on Earth.

We collected 2348 birds attracted to lights between Jan- uary 1996 and December 1999,among which 70% were Barau’s petrels and 29% were Audubon’s shearwaters. We found also three specimens of the very rare Mascarene petrel. Most grounded birds were fledglings (94%). Light-induced mortality was seasonal and linked with the breeding schedule of each species. At least 20–40% of the fledglings of Barau’s petrels produced annually are attracted by lights. Light-induced mortality is a recent perturbation at Re´ union Island. Thus,the effects of this disturbance on the population dynamics of these long lived seabirds may be hard to detect at the present time,but they are likely to occur in the near future.

  • Euglandina Rosea Global Invasive
    FULL ACCOUNT FOR: Euglandina rosea Euglandina rosea System: Terrestrial Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Animalia Mollusca Gastropoda Stylommatophora Spiraxidae Common name Rosige Wolfsschnecke (German), rosy wolf snail (English), cannibal snail (English) Synonym Similar species Summary The carnivorous rosy wolfsnail Euglandina rosea was introduced to Indian and Pacific Ocean Islands from the 1950s onwards as a biological control agent for the giant African snail (Achatina fulica). E. rosea is not host specific meaning that native molluscs species are at risk of expatriatioin or even extinction if this mollusc-eating snail is introduced. Partulid tree snails of the French Polynesian Islands were particularly affected; having evolved separately from each other in isolated valleys, many Partulid tree snails have been lost and today almost all the survivors exist only in zoos. view this species on IUCN Red List Species Description The shell is large (up to 76 mm in height, 27.5 mm in diameter), thick and has prominent growth lines (University of Florida 2009). The shape of the shell is fusiform with a narrow ovate-lunate aperture and a truncated columella; typically, the shell color is brownish-pink (University of Florida 2009). Adult Euglandina grow from about seven to 10 cm long (Clifford et al. 2003). Habitat Description Euglandina rosea is usually found singly in hardwood forests, roadsides and urban gardens in its native range in Florida (Hubricht 1985, University of Florida 2009). Reproduction Euglandina rosea is a cross-fertilising egg-laying hermaphrodite. Chiu and Chou (1962, in Univeristy of Florida 2009) gave details of the biology of Euglandina in Taiwan. Individuals live up to 24 months.

Vocal repertoire of Tahiti Petrel Pseudobulweria rostrata: a preliminary assessment. Marine Ornithology 42: 143–148. The Tahiti Petrel Pseudobulweria rostrata is a little-known seabird of tropical Pacific islands. Nocturnal at the colony and a burrow nester, the species relies on acoustic signals to communicate. Its vocalizations have not been intensively studied, and our study is the first to analyze the vocalizations made by the Tahiti Petrel in American Samoa. We found two main vocalizations, a ground call and an aerial call. The ground call consists of seven parts that allow variation to occur in duration and frequency in any portion of the call. That would be important to individual and gender variation, which may be critical to finding mates in burrows in the montane rainforest. The aerial call appears to be a condensed version of the ground call, used when approaching the colony in fog and darkness, and may have echolocating qualities. The Pseudobulweria genus has uncertain evolutionary relationships among petrels, and vocalization may provide a link to ancestral relationships to help better understand evolution of this group.

  • (Gallicolumba Erythroptera) Discovered at Rangiroa
    SHORT NOTE Polynesian Ground Dove (GaUicolumba erythroptera) discovered at Rangiroa Atoll, Tuamotu Islands (Polynesia) ABSTRACT In 1990-91, a previously unknown population of the Polynesian Ground Dove was discovered on Rangiroa Atoll in the Tuamotu Is, eastern Polynesia. This apparently isolated population was estimated at only 12-20 birds. Two species of ground dove, the Polynesian Ground Dove (Gallicolumba eythroptera) and the Marquesas Ground Dove (G. nrbescens) are found today in eastern Polynesia: Since the records of European naturalists at the end of the 18th century (Holyoak & Thibault 1984, Thibault 1988), their breeding range has been rapidly declining, although this process had begun when Polynesians arrived (Steadman 1988). Because of their small numbers and patchy distribution, both species are now threatened (Collar & Andrew 1988). The wide but discontinuous range, as well as the numerous recorded local extinctions, suggests that Polynesian Ground Doves were formerly widespread in the Tuamotu Is. The discovery of a new locality for G. eythroptera provides the opportunity to discuss its overall distribution, its variation and reasons for its decline. Rangiroa is an atoll in the northern Tuamotu Is (1S005'S and 147O58' W). It is composed of a ring of about 200 islets with areas ranging from about 0.5 to 200 ha. The total area of Rangiroa Atoll is about 79 km2. Half the islets have only sand or coral rocks and no vegetation. We visited Rangiroa in 15-21January 1990 and 16-21 April 1991 and surveyed 20 islets in total (10%). rn @ Q 6' FIGURE 1 - Distribution of Gallicolumba erythroptera (from Holyoak & Thibault 1984, Steadman 1989 and this work).

C HRISTENSEN 2 Bishop Museum, 1525 Bernice Street, Honolulu, Hawai‘i 96817-2704, USA; email: [email protected] Germain (1928: 995–996) described Pelagolimnaea as a new subgenus of Lymnaea Lamarck, 1799, and assigned nine endemic Hawaiian species to it. He failed to select any one of these as type of his new subgenus, however, an omission which has not yet been remedied. Thiele (1931) established Pseudisidora as another subgenus of Hawaiian lym - naeids, but misidentified the species he identified as its type. This paper designates a type species for Pelagolimnaea and corrects Thiele’s misidentification. The question of how many genera and subgenera should be recognized within the Lymnaeidae is a matter of controversy (Vinarski 2013) and is outside the scope of this note, which is concerned only with ambiguities in the nomenclature of the various genus- level names that have been applied to the native Hawaiian lymnaeids. Hubendick (1951, 1952) assigned all of Hawaii’s native lymnaeids to Lymnaea Lamarck, 1799 (type species: the Holarctic Helix stagnalis Linnaeus, 1758, by subsequent designation of Fleming 1818). Cowie et al. (1995) regarded the Hawaiian species as comprising one endemic genus, Erinna H.
