Bibliography of Aquatic and Semiaquatic Dryopoidea
William
D. Shepard
This bibliography
is an ongoing project to record the literature on aquatic and semiaquatic
Dryopoidea (Families Dryopidae, Elmidae, Eulichadidae, Limnichidae, Psephenidae
and Ptilodactylidae). It will never be complete in the sense that more is
always being published. Also, there are many papers for which I have not
located references, especially in the foreign literature. I suspect this
bibliography is particularly deficient in citations from the Orient, Africa
and the eastern Palearctic, from journals not indexed by citation services,
and from the older literature.
Periodically I add more citations. Additionally, corrections are made
when I discover them or someone points them out to me. Therefore, if you
have previously received a copy of this bibliography it may be outdated.
Please check the date at the bottom of the second page to determine the
most current version.
Papers include herein are those that deal predominately with dryopoids.
Those papers that include dryopoids only as part of a larger fauna are
not included. There are a few exceptions here and there.
I am willing to provide the time to maintain this database but I need
your help. In particular I ask you, my colleagues, to assist me by contributing
in the following ways. (1) I would like each dryopoid specialist reading
this to send me a bibliographic list containing full citations to all
of the works that you have published. To my colleagues who publish in
languages that do not use the Roman alphabet, it would greatly aid me
if you could provide translations or transliterations of the citations
in a European language that does use Roman characters (preferably English).
(2) I would appreciate the opportunity to compare copies of manuscript
bibliographies complied by other dryopoid workers. If you are able and
willing to help out in this way, please send a copy of your bibliography.
(3) I would also ask each of you to send me a reprint or photocopy of
each of your new dryopoid papers soon after they are published. And it
is hoped that users will report additions, corrections and typographic
errors.
Many of the citations included herewith are from the "Literature Cited"
sections of published papers. As we all know, there are often errors in
these citations. Thus I may have replicated them. When I have the chance
I check them against the actual paper or journals. But I often do not
have access to foreign journals and reprints to do so. When I have found
different citations I have used the more inclusive pagination. Thus if
you make an interlibrary loan request you are more likely to get the whole
paper. Other differences are noted. parenthetically after the citation.
Missing parts of citations are noted with question marks.
Please feel free to use this in whatever way is useful to you, and to
tell others about this bibliography.
