项目摘要

Habitat destruction, environmental change, and invasive species are causing the extinction of species faster than scientists can find and record them. Of all the major animal groups, snails have the highest extinction rates, and most of these losses have occurred in the Pacific islands. Hawaii, a diversity hotspot, supports one of the world's most spectacular land snail radiations with more than 750 species and numerous species still unknown to science. However, the number of species is declining rapidly, and extinction estimates are already 50% or more. The Oahu Tree Snails (Achatinellidae) are the most diverse and iconic snails in the Hawaiian Islands. Research on these snails has contributed to development of evolutionary theory and island biology, yet basics about the biology and diversity of the group is still lacking. This project uses morphological, molecular, and biogeographic data from museum and recently collected specimens to clarify the taxonomy of this important land snail family, and provide insights into their evolution and conservation. Accurate and updated understanding of the identities and relationships of these snails is critical to the welfare of the ecosystem. Training will be integrated throughout this project, ensuring the development of the next generation of scientists.The project will assess the systematics of the highly threatened and iconic Achatinellidae, providing a revised and updated classification that will be the foundation for a better understanding of their diversification and conservation. The project will provide training for one postdoctoral researcher, one Ph.D. student, and numerous university undergraduates and high schoolers while addressing the three primary research objectives: 1) produce revised and updated subfamily and generic monographs of the Hawaiian Achatinellidae, including descriptions of 13 new species; 2) develop the first comprehensive, Pacific-wide phylogenetic hypothesis for the Achatinellidae using a modern morphological and molecular approach; 3) assess the biogeographic history of the Hawaiian Achatinellidae and their conservation. High school, undergraduate and graduate students from underrepresented groups in STEM will learn a range of techniques from molecular phylogenetics to anatomical analyses and museum curation and digitization, thereby linking science education with hands-on research, while growing and sustaining essential expertise in taxonomy. Trainees will be heavily involved in development of web-based products providing biogeographic, ecological and taxonomic data for each species, accessible to researchers and the public, and used to develop museum exhibits for broader access.

栖息地破坏、环境变化和入侵物种正在导致物种灭绝，其速度超出了科学家发现和记录的速度。在所有主要动物类群中，蜗牛的灭绝率最高，其中大部分损失发生在太平洋岛屿。夏威夷是一个生物多样性热点地区，这里孕育着世界上最壮观的陆地蜗牛辐射之一，拥有 750 多种物种，其中有许多物种仍为科学未知。然而，物种数量正在迅速减少，估计已经灭绝了50%或更多。欧胡岛树蜗牛（Achatinellidae）是夏威夷群岛最多样化、最具标志性的蜗牛。对这些蜗牛的研究为进化论和岛屿生物学的发展做出了贡献，但仍然缺乏有关该群体的生物学和多样性的基础知识。该项目利用博物馆的形态、分子和生物地理学数据以及最近收集的标本来阐明这一重要陆地蜗牛家族的分类，并提供对其进化和保护的见解。对这些蜗牛的身份和关系的准确和最新的了解对于生态系统的福祉至关重要。培训将贯穿该项目，确保下一代科学家的发展。该项目将评估高度威胁和标志性的Achatinellidae的系统学，提供修订和更新的分类，这将成为更好地了解其多样化的基础和保护。该项目将为一名博士后研究员、一名博士生提供培训。学生、以及众多大学本科生和高中生，同时解决三个主要研究目标：1）修订和更新夏威夷 Achatinellidae 亚科和通用专着，包括 13 个新物种的描述； 2) 使用现代形态学和分子方法，为 Achatinellidae 开发第一个全面的、太平洋范围内的系统发育假说； 3) 评估夏威夷 Achatinellidae 的生物地理历史及其保护。来自 STEM 领域代表性不足群体的高中生、本科生和研究生将学习从分子系统发育学到解剖分析以及博物馆管理和数字化的一系列技术，从而将科学教育与实践研究联系起来，同时发展和维持分类学方面的基本专业知识。学员将积极参与基于网络的产品的开发，为每个物种提供生物地理、生态和分类数据，供研究人员和公众使用，并用于开发博物馆展品以供更广泛的访问。
