Abstract

We used existing collection records to summarize the current understanding of freshwater crayfish diversity in Virginia. Virginia includes both Atlantic slope drainages and tributaries of the Tennessee and Ohio Rivers which flow to the Gulf of Mexico via the Mississippi River. The state’s varied topography produces a wide range of freshwater habitats from mountain-side springs and seeps to rushing mountain streams to warm, turbid rivers and the lentic habitats of the coastal plain. We report distributional patterns of 31 species and one subspecies. About 20% of the species reported are introduced, one native species is federally listed as threatened, and several other taxa are species of conservation concern. A number of yet-to-be-described taxa with highly limited distributions will likely need protection. We hope the data included will prove useful in future efforts to understand the diversity of these fascinating and ecologically important animals in Virginia and will further the resolution of Virginia’s complete crayfish fauna.
弗吉尼亚淡水小龙虾的注释清单
我们使用现有的采集记录来总结目前对弗吉尼亚州淡水小龙虾多样性的理解。弗吉尼亚州包括大西洋斜坡流域和田纳西河和俄亥俄河的支流,这些河流经由密西西比河流入墨西哥湾。该州多变的地形产生了广泛的淡水栖息地,从山泉和泉水到湍急的山溪,再到温暖浑浊的河流和沿海平原的扁豆栖息地。我们报道了31种和1个亚种的分布模式。报告的物种中约有20%是引进的,一个本土物种被联邦政府列为濒危物种,其他几个分类群是值得保护的物种。一些分布高度有限的有待描述的分类群可能需要保护。我们希望所包含的数据将在未来的努力中证明是有用的,以了解弗吉尼亚州这些迷人且具有重要生态意义的动物的多样性,并将进一步解决弗吉尼亚州完整的小龙虾动物群。
