  • Epilist 1.0: a Global Checklist of Vascular Epiphytes
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2021 EpiList 1.0: a global checklist of vascular epiphytes Zotz, Gerhard ; Weigelt, Patrick ; Kessler, Michael ; Kreft, Holger ; Taylor, Amanda Abstract: Epiphytes make up roughly 10% of all vascular plant species globally and play important functional roles, especially in tropical forests. However, to date, there is no comprehensive list of vas- cular epiphyte species. Here, we present EpiList 1.0, the first global list of vascular epiphytes based on standardized definitions and taxonomy. We include obligate epiphytes, facultative epiphytes, and hemiepiphytes, as the latter share the vulnerable epiphytic stage as juveniles. Based on 978 references, the checklist includes >31,000 species of 79 plant families. Species names were standardized against World Flora Online for seed plants and against the World Ferns database for lycophytes and ferns. In cases of species missing from these databases, we used other databases (mostly World Checklist of Selected Plant Families). For all species, author names and IDs for World Flora Online entries are provided to facilitate the alignment with other plant databases, and to avoid ambiguities. EpiList 1.0 will be a rich source for synthetic studies in ecology, biogeography, and evolutionary biology as it offers, for the first time, a species‐level overview over all currently known vascular epiphytes. At the same time, the list represents work in progress: species descriptions of epiphytic taxa are ongoing and published life form information in floristic inventories and trait and distribution databases is often incomplete and sometimes evenwrong.

  • Distribution and Status of Native Carnivorous Land Snails in The
    5. Results 5.1 SUMMARY OF SPECIES DISTRIBUTIONS The distribution database contains 1187 locality records, 927 for Rhytida and 260 for Wainuia, including some duplicates. Six percent of all records are of subfossils, mostly from cave deposits. Fig. 2 shows the combined occurrence of all species by 10 000 m x 10 000 m grid square. At least one species was recorded from 406 grid squares (391 excluding subfossil records). Rhytida species were recorded in 333 squares (318 excluding subfossils) and Wainuia species in 94 squares (90 excluding subfossils). The number of 10 000 m x 10 000 m grid squares containing records of each species or subspecies ranged from 2 to 105 (Table 1). Subfossil records extended the known range to additional grid squares in 12 of the 17 taxa. Generalised range maps for all taxa are presented for quick reference in Fig. 3. The distributions are mapped in detail in Fig. 4 (see Appendix 4) and discussed in the species accounts (Appendix 4). 5.2 ASSESSMENT OF CONSERVATION STATUS Data relevant to conservation status are discussed in the species notes (Appendix 4). Direct assessment of population trends is not currently possible as no population study has been conducted for any species of Wainuia or Rhytida. A tentative priority ranking was therefore performed using the scoring system adopted for other invertebrates in Department of Conservation (1994b). The results provide a coarse and somewhat subjective indication of conservation priorities (Table 2). They can be criticised for failing to adequately incorporate uncertainty in our present knowledge, and for not identifying critically threatened populations within some species or subspecies.

The Subfossil Species of Rhytida Albers (Mollusca : Paryphantidae) P. PARKINSON University of Auckland [Received by the Editor, 3 September 1970] Abstract THE known subf ossil forms of Rhytida Albers, 1850 are discussed and all are shown to be conspecific with living taxa: R. spelaea Powell, 1933 is synonymised with R. greenwoodi (Gray, 1850) ; R. yaldwyni Dell, 1955 is synonymised with Wainuia urnula urnula (Pfeiffer, 1855); R. hadfieldi Powell, 1949 is synonymised with R. oconnori Powell, 1946 and R. duplicata vivens Powell, 1946 is synonymised with R. duplicata duplicata Suter, 1904. INTRODUCTION TWENTY-ONE taxa in the genus Rhytida are currently recognised as New Zealand endemics. The taxonomic arrangement of these is unsatisfactory, but before a thorough revision of the group can be carried out, much work on the soft part anatomy must be done.
