To the FWGNA group,
I'm very pleased to report that the Freshwater Gastropods of Georgia
(Atlantic drainages), by R. T. Dillon, W. K. Reeves, and T. W. Stewart
is officially up and open for business! Check it out:
http://www.cofc.edu/~fwgna/FWGGA/
The database analyzed includes 845 records from 264 sites throughout
eastern and central Georgia - primarily from our own original
collections or those of the Florida Museum of Natural History in
Gainesville. We document 37 species of freshwater gastropods
inhabiting the region, 10 new and 27 shared with South Carolina and
North Carolina already on line.
The FWGGA site is designed to integrate smoothly with our pre-existing FWGSC and FWGNC
sites. Habitat, distribution, ecology, life history, taxonomy and
systematics given are for each species, as well as PDF downloads of
range maps. The Georgia site also features a photo gallery, a
clickable dichotomous key, and a section on conservation
recommendations.
Special notes of appreciation are due to our colleagues Doug Florian
for help with the mapping and Steve Bleezarde for his web
wizardry. If anybody spots any errors, glitches, or broken links,
we'd appreciate a heads-up. Now our undivided attention turns
toward Virginia!
We'll keep in touch,
Rob
