Dear Annelidans,
I recently read, in connection with the 2000 project, the following:
"Obviously only part of the URMO databases can be used as GDS for
Species 2000. Several groups such as vertebrates, oligochaetes and
hirudineans are largely terrestrial or limnic and consequently not complete
in URMO."
I would point out that the work of Christer Erseus has shown that
oligochaetes are virtually omnipresent in marine localities. It is
suggested that marine oligochaetes may outnumber their terrestrial
counterparts.
