Species lists from numerous published floristic studies of Neotropical wetlands were
incorporated into the database. Whenever possible, species lists were entered in their
entirety, in order to accommodate changes in the ascription of wetland species. Thus,
although a species might not be recognized as a "wetland species" at the time of the
incorporation of data from a particular study, its presence in the region and/or system being
described was still registered.
Species lists from the following publications were entered in their entirety:
Aristeguieta (1968),
Armitage and Fassett (1971),
Beck (1984),
Bonilla-Barbosa and Novello R. (1995),

Information from the various regional floristic studies was also utilized in distinguishing
wetland species. Examples are:
Burkart (1957),
Burkart (1978),
Davidse et al. (1994),
Davidse et al. (1995),
Gómez (1984),
Kahn (1993),
Renvoize (1998), and
Troncoso de B. et al. (1987).
Although only a portion of the species listed in these sources was entered into the database, habitat descriptions were frequently
used to identify wetland species and to resolve uncertainties regarding typical habitats of
particular species. Likewise, habitat information from the many taxonomic treatments was
incorporated in the ascription of wetland species. Currently, I'm still compiling the
www version of the literature list. A partial list can be accessed
here.
Habitat data from exsiccatae at various
herbaria (principally, BOLV, GH, LPB, MO, and USZ) were also utilized in
adjudging wetland species. Additional input on species' typical habitats came from discussions
and written communications with other researchers working in tropical wetlands and from a query
(for species associated with wetlands) of the Biological Diversity of the Guianas Database
(the Biological Diversity of the Guianas project, National Museum of Natural History,
Washington, DC.).
Information was incorporated from
Reed's (1996)
checklist of species associated with wetlands in the United States and
extra-continental protectorates and associated territories. The inclusion of material
from this checklist was intended to help identify wetland species
from those regions (i.e., northern Mexico) which possess temperate and northern subtropical
floristic elements.
