說明

The study presents an extensive list of earthworm species that have been documented in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands of India. The text enumerates a total of 28 species and subspecies belonging to 16 genera and seven families. Among the identified species, four has been categorized as native peregrine, six as endemic, three as subendemic and 15 species are considered as exotic peregrine. The checklist furnishes a point of reference to the primary account from the literature, the type locality, noteworthy synonyms, and data on distribution for every species and subspecies.

計畫資料

Island ecosystems have been a subject of fascination for biologists and geologists for a long time. The study of island biodiversity has been a driving force behind the formulation of several prominent biological theories including evolutionary concepts introduced by Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace. Due to its status as an epicentre of biological diversity, the Andaman and Nicobar region deserves particular consideration. The Great Nicobar Island is in closer proximity to Myanmar and Sumatra as compared to the Indian mainland. Over the course of millennia, due to evolutionary processes and geographical isolation, the island has acquired distinctive biological diversity. The Andaman & Nicobar Islands are an archipelago consisting of 349 islands located in the Bay of Bengal (fig.1). The Andaman group comprises 325 islands, while the Nicobar group comprises 24 islands. The Andaman Islands exhibit Indo-Malayan biota, while the Nicobar Islands showcase Indonesian biota and are included in the Sundaland mega-biodiversity hotspot (Kulkarni and Karthick, 2018). The complete extent of the diversity and endemism present in these islands remains to be fully elucidated. The Andaman and Nicobar Islands are considered to be a highly valuable reservoir of biodiversity within the regions of South and Southeast Asia. The islands possess a distinctive characteristic of being a virtual bio reserve, exhibiting exceptional levels of biodiversity and abundance. There exists a notable necessity to optimize the advantages derived from the abundant biodiversity present in the islands.

研究設計描述 The checklist has been developed through a comprehensive examination of the relevant literature up to the year 2024. The compilation of distributional data has been sourced from taxonomic literature. The inclusion of ecological literature lacking precise geographic information has been considered for distribution and is denoted as "unspecified localities" in the corresponding sections on species distribution. The subsequent segments comprise information pertaining to various species, encompassing: (1) the scientific nomenclature; (2) primary and associated literature; (3) alternative designations [primarily derived from initial depictions and publications by Gates (1972), Julka (1988), Csuzdi (2010), Blakemore (2016); (4) the location of the type specimen; and (5) the geographical range.

品質控管 The compilation of distributional data has been sourced from taxonomic literature. The inclusion of ecological literature lacking precise geographic information has been considered for distribution and is denoted as "unspecified localities" in the corresponding sections on species distribution. The subsequent segments comprise information pertaining to various species, encompassing: (1) the scientific nomenclature; (2) primary and associated literature; (3) alternative designations [primarily derived from initial depictions and publications by Gates (1972), Julka (1988), Csuzdi (2010), Blakemore (2016); (4) the location of the type specimen; and (5) the geographical range. Further, the study also includes samples collected from the protected forests of the Andaman Islands, specifically Mahatma Gandhi Marine National Park, Saddle Peak National Park, and Wandoor. The specimens were preserved in a solution of 5% formalin and absolute alcohol for morphoanatomical and molecular analysis.

方法步驟描述:

  1. The specimens were morphologically recognized using different taxonomic parameters, including worm size, colour, setal arrangement, dorsal pores, and the presence of male and female gonopores. Every individual specimen was allocated a distinct voucher code for the purpose of identification and submitted to the Earthworm Biology Laboratory at the Department of Zoology, Dr. Harisingh Gour Vishwavidyalaya (A Central University) Sagar, Madhya Pradesh, India.

Introduction Island ecosystems have been a subject of fascination for biologists and geologists for a long time. The study of island biodiversity has been a driving force behind the formulation of several prominent biological theories including evolutionary concepts introduced by Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace. Due to its status as an epicentre of biological diversity, the Andaman and Nicobar region deserves particular consideration. The Great Nicobar Island is in closer proximity to Myanmar and Sumatra as compared to the Indian mainland. Over the course of millennia, due to evolutionary processes and geographical isolation, the island has acquired distinctive biological diversity. The Andaman & Nicobar Islands are an archipelago consisting of 349 islands located in the Bay of Bengal (fig.1). The Andaman group comprises 325 islands, while the Nicobar group comprises 24 islands. The Andaman Islands exhibit Indo-Malayan biota, while the Nicobar Islands showcase Indonesian biota and are included in the Sundaland mega-biodiversity hotspot (Kulkarni and Karthick, 2018). The complete extent of the diversity and endemism present in these islands remains to be fully elucidated.
Getting Started The initial documentation of earthworms from the Andaman & Nicobar Islands was presented by Rosa (Rosa, 1891), who identified two earthworm species namely Lumbricus rubellus Hoffmeister, 1843 and Eisenia fetida (Savigny, 1826) from the Nicobars. Michaelsen (Michaelsen, 1907) documented Metaphire andamanensis (Michaelsen, 1907), Amynthas osmastoni (Michaelsen, 1907), and Amynthas suctorius (Michaelsen, 1907) were endemic to the Andaman region. Stephenson (Stephenson, 1925) and Gates (Gates, 1932; 1936) reported additional endemic species within the present-day genera Metaphire Sims & Easton, 1972 and Amynthas Kinberg, 1867. The available literature on the earthworms inhabiting the Andaman & Nicobar Islands is restricted to the works of Michaelsen (1909), Stephenson (1916), Gates (1933, 1954, 1958, 1960, 1962), Julka and Halder (1975) and Julka (1982), Manazhy (2011).
目的 The Andaman and Nicobar Islands are considered to be a highly valuable reservoir of biodiversity within the regions of South and Southeast Asia. The islands possess a distinctive characteristic of being a virtual bio reserve, exhibiting exceptional levels of biodiversity and abundance. There exists a notable necessity to optimize the advantages derived from the abundant biodiversity present in the islands.
