The database was created as part of my
doctoral research,
and was originally conceived as a means to compile habitat and distribution data for use
in biogeographical comparisons. Data have been incorporated from: species lists from
various published floristic studies
of Neotropical wetlands, regional floristic studies, taxonomic monographs, herbarium
specimens, and from my fieldwork in Bolivia. The database presented here represents
a significant amplification of that used for my disseration; however, at present
no distribution data are presented in the online version of NEOAQUATICA. An overview of the
data sources can be found: here.
