Dear Colleague:
I write to request the following information for as many waterbodies as
possible (including streams, rivers, lakes, bays, estuaries, seas,
oceanside coastal zones, continental shelves, open oceans, etc):
1) Surface area of each waterbody (square kilometers).
(I particularly need information on small lakes and streams.)
2) Number of native species.
3) Number of non-native species.
4) Number of extinct/extirpated species (during historical time).
5) Literature references or contacts.
I recognize that exact numbers may not be available--
even estimates and taxonomically-specific (for example, fish only) personal
communications would be VERY helpful.
Please e-mail/postal mail/fax/phone me any ideas, along with unpublished
data, reprints, and other publications (address below).
This data will be compiled in a forthcoming book chapter, which we
think will be useful to anyone interested in the present state of our
aquatic systems.
Thank you in advance for your help,
Heather P. Walton
