MUSSELp Taxonomy Progress

Genera and Species

We have captured nominal species and genera (as well as taxonomic opinions about their status and distributional data) for the project from numerous secondary literature sources. By capturing these data into a single database, we are in essence condensing a whole malacological library into a single resource! As a preliminary example of the utility of our work, we have spun-off the Simpson-Haas Index as a stand-alone, on-line tool for freshwater malacologists.

Those references in black have been completely entered; those in gray are in progress or are at least slated for entry in the near future. Only what we consider the "major" citations are listed here, although many others are included in the database. Generally those references that only include new species are not included below.
