The crayfish fauna of West Virginia consists of 23 species and several undescribed taxa. Most survey efforts documenting this fauna have been conducted in lotic waterways throughout the Appalachian plateau, Allegheny Mountains, and Ridge and Valley physiographic provinces. Bottomland forests, swamps, and marshes associated with large river floodplain such as the Ohio River floodplain historical...

THIS PAPER is primarily concerned with Central Pacific zoogeography. Its main purpose is to trace in so far as possible the derivation and the immigration and emigration routes of the Johnston Island inshore fish fauna. The importance of Johnston for a study of this sort . lies in its position between the areas inhabited by the great tropical Pacific fauna to the south and the strongly endemic ...

Zoogeography, the subdivision of geographical space into regional subunits based on their fauna, has been a core activity of biology at least since the time of Wallace (1876). Originally its emphasis was on entire faunas and geographical units at the subcontinental or regional level (see the comprehensive review in Udvardy, 1969), but progress in the understanding of the spatial dynamics of met...

Some small collections of alpheid shrimp resulting from the participation of the United States research vessels in the International Indian Ocean Expeditions are reported: 53 species in six genera were collected, with many of the collection records extending the known range of the various species within the Indian Ocean. Two new species are described from the deeper sublittoral zone: Synalpheus...
