第一个来自美属维尔京群岛(USVI)的淡水物种在190年前被描述,但对内陆水生动物,特别是无脊椎动物的研究仍然有限。由于欧洲在加勒比海殖民的复杂历史,USVI关于内陆水生生物多样性的自然史著作比其他地方晚了近250年。这些早期著作主要由神职人员撰写,主要记录了来自其他岛屿的土著知识。1793年,韦斯特在第一部自然史中提出了一个假设,后来又在1810年得到了Ledru的支持,即波多黎各和美属维尔京群岛的动物群几乎是相同的。这部分解释了除了鸟类之外几乎所有水生动物群的工作都很少。我们回顾了历史的内陆水生动物的观察和研究,在美属维尔京群岛,从前哥伦布的传统,最近的动物区系评估。我们讨论了波尔图里科和维尔京群岛的海洋科学调查,以及当地和外国博物学家和分类学家对我们了解水生生物的重要性。自1900年以来,155篇文章包括对美属维尔京群岛内陆水生动物的观察,自20世纪60年代以来,没有明显的增加或减少出版物产量的趋势。对昆虫和鸟类研究的分类学偏见,以及对圣克鲁瓦脊椎动物研究的地理偏见是显而易见的。描述性文章的数量远远超过操纵性文章。尽管美属维尔京群岛和波多黎各内陆水生脊椎动物区系之间的重叠,最近的调查从圣托马斯记录了许多新的记录和未描述的水生无脊椎动物。这两个动物群是等同的历史假设似乎取决于分类学背景。这一假设需要进一步评估。
The first freshwater species from the US Virgin Islands (USVI) was described 190 years ago, but research on inland aquatic animals, particularly invertebrates, remains limited. Due to a complex history of European colonization in the Caribbean, natural history writings about inland aquatic diversity for the USVI began almost 250 years later than those from elsewhere. Those early writings were produced primarily by clergy and largely recorded indigenous knowledge from other islands. Proposed in the first natural history by West in 1793, and reinforced later by Ledru in 1810, an assumption emerged that Puerto Rico and USVI faunas were almost identical. This partially explains the paucity of work in almost all aquatic faunal groups but birds. We review the history of inland aquatic faunal observations and studies in the USVI, from pre-Columbian traditions to recent faunal assessments. We discuss the pivotalScientific Surveyof Porto Rico and the Virgin Islandsand the importance of local and foreign naturalists and taxonomists for our understanding of aquatic biota. Since 1900, 155 articles included observations on USVI inland aquatic animals, without clear trends toward increased or decreased publication output since the 1960s. Taxonomic bias toward studies on insects and birds, and geographic bias toward vertebrate work from St. Croix, are evident. Descriptive articles overwhelmingly outnumber manipulative ones. Despite overlap between USVI and Puerto Rican inland aquatic vertebrate faunas, recent surveys from St. Thomas have documented many new records and undescribed aquatic invertebrates. The historical assumption that the two faunas are equivalent appears to depend on taxonomic context. This hypothesis requires further evaluation.
