Prehistoric anthropogenic introduction of partulid tree snails in Papua New Guinean archipelagos

2011-08-01

Abstract excerpt

Aim Members of the tropical tree snail family Partulidae are endemic to Pacific high oceanic islands and typically have single-island ranges. Two nominal Papua New Guinean species, Partula carteriensis and Partula similaris, deviate from familial norms by having extensive multi-island ranges that include low islands. We hypothesized that undocumented anthropogenic introductions may underlie this regional biogeogra...
