How Many Species Are there in Hawaii?


Lucius G. Eldredge and Scott E. Miller (Department of Natural Sciences, Bishop Museum, P.O. Box 19000A, Honolulu, Hawai`i 96817, USA)


Introduction

The Hawaiian Islands are the most isolated island group in the world. The 8 main southeastern islands, with their sequentially younger geological ages, great physiographic and climactic variation, are ideal natural laboratories for evolutionary and ecological research (see Howarth 1990, Kay 1994, for further background). Although the Hawaiian biota has been subjected to systematic study since shortly after the founding of Linnaean nomenclature, these results are scattered through publications and collections around the world. Moreover, many gaps remain in the knowledge of Hawaii's biota, especially for the smaller organisms such as viruses, bacteria, freshwater algae, protists, and soil invertebrates other than insects and mollusks. This paper is a first approximation by Bishop Museum's Hawaii Biological Survey to answer the frequently asked question: "How many species are there in Hawaii?"

In compiling this list, we have collected and assembled data and wisdom of the staff of Bishop Museum, libraries of the Bishop Museum and the University of Hawaii, and many colleagues in Hawaii and around the world. The marine portions draw heavily from the ongoing project Reef and shore fauna of Hawaii. The terrestrial invertebrate data derive primarily from an invertebrate survey pilot project supported by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation in the late 1980s. An early version of the terrestrial and freshwater portions of the list was circulated at the Hawaii Conservation Biology Initiative annual meeting in 1992. The interest of that group prompted us to continue the effort. We know that the present list is incomplete in several ways: 1) we expect that some literature has been missed; 2) we know that additional information, including unpublished new species, exist in museum collections; and 3) further fieldwork will produce additional records. The Hawaii Biological Survey is creating comprehensive databases for basic taxonomic, distributional, and biological information on all the organisms occurring in Hawaii, so we welcome additions and corrections to this list.

Classification of animals generally follows Parker (1982), with the use of kingdoms in the sense of Margulis & Schwartz (1988). Some artificial categories of convenience are used (for examples, marine mollusks). Freshwater categories generally include brackish water dwellers. Viruses and bacteria are not included because too few data are available, although the plant parasitic species were reviewed by Raabe et al. (1981). Human parasites are also not included. Unless noted, all numbers represent described species reported in the literature and often under-represent the eventual total which can be expected based on further exploration. On the other hand, there may be many more names in the literature for some groups because the taxa have not been reviewed or revised to eliminate the synonyms. The numbers from the Reef and shore fauna manuscripts include previously unpublished records.

The term endemic is problematic. In the terrestrial environment it is easy to determine the boundaries of the Hawaiian Islands, but the fact that a species is known only from Hawaii may mean only that it has not yet been reported elsewhere. This is especially a problem in groups that require specialized sampling techniques and that may have been better studied in Hawaii than in many other places (e.g., planktonic crustaceans, soil mites). In the marine environment this problem is worse because the ocean provides a medium for movement throughout the Indo-west Pacific. Moreover, it is difficult to determine boundaries. Thus, we expect that most of the taxa currently listed as endemic to Hawaii's marine environment will ultimately prove to be more widely distributed.

Definitions

For the marine environment "Hawaii" includes the coastal areas to the deepest waters, including all the waters surrounding all of the islands of the archipelago.

Nonindigenous species (NIS) are those species that do not naturally occur in the Hawaiian Islands and have arrived either accidentally or intentionally through biological control efforts, aquaculture imports, etc. These species have also been referred to as alien, exotic, adventive, or introduced species (Frank & McCoy 1990).

Indigenous species are those species which naturally occur in the islands but are not endemic to the islands (i.e., they also occur naturally elsewhere).

For birds, visitors are nonresident species; migratory birds follow a repeatable pattern of occurrence in the islands.

Subfossil/fossil species in Hawaii are used in the context of birds and bats that became extinct prior to the arrival of Captain Cook. Invertebrate fossils discovered through core sampling, archaeological digs, and other techniques have not been included in the data tabulated below.

Extinct species are those forms that no longer exist in their natural habitat. It is difficult at best to attempt a tabulation of how many of the species originally described from the Hawaiian Islands have become extinct through natural processes or with the advent of humans and the concomitant destruction of native habitats and associated species through time. Data on known extinct vertebrates are included in the notes, but not in Table 1.

Notes

Algae: Marine algae numbers are from an identification manual in preparation by I.A. Abbott & W. Magruder; numbers for freshwater and terrestrial species are only estimates, except for Vis et. al. (1994) who reported 34 species; all other existing literature is outdated and unreliable (e.g., MacCaughey 1918).

Protozoa: Chave (1987) noted more than 1000 species in Hawaiian waters; Philipps (1977) reported on more than 400 species from depths less than 100 ft; Larsen & Patterson (1990) reported 31 benthic marine flagellate species, including 2 new species.

Fungi: Baker & Goos (1972), following Parris (1940) recorded 683 species, including Myxomycota (slime molds) but not lichens; Goos (1977) recorded 900 species of Fungi Imperfecti; Baker (1977) noted 1591 species of fungi from Hawaii and the central Pacific islands. Undoubtedly, the true number is much higher because the fungi are poorly studied in Hawaii (see also Goos & Gowing 1992). Hawksworth (1994) suggested that in a given geographical area there are about 6 times as many fungi in all habitats as there are native and naturalized plant species, which suggests that there may be 12,000 species of fungi. Endemism is very low (Baker & Goos 1972, Baker 1977, Goos 1977). Kohlmeyer (1969) recorded 27 species of marine fungi including 2 nonindigenous species.

Lichens: Smith (1991) recorded 723 species, suggesting that there may be more than 800 species (his 1991 numbers include taxonomic changes published in Smith 1993). He recorded 240 species as supposedly endemic and suggested that the true number may be lower; 1 genus (Ramalinopsis) is endemic. See also Stenroos & Smith (1993).

Ferns (Polypodiophyta) and fern allies (Psilophyta and Lycophyta): Only native and naturalized (e.g., growing in the wild) species are listed; more than 200 additional species are cultivated (G. Staples, pers. comm.).

Angiosperms: Only native and naturalized species are listed; on the order of 8000 additional species are cultivated in agricultural settings and home gardens (G. Staples, pers. comm.).

Porifera: Of 80 species listed, 5 are known only from depths greater than 100 m, 5 recorded only from the Waikiki Aquarium, and 8 that might be considered doubtful species (Bergquist 1977).

Cnidaria: Octocorallia: Of 105 species listed, 4 are shallow water (Devaney 1977b), remaining are 1 species of bamboo coral (Muzik 1978) and 101 species of deep-water gorgonians (Grigg & Bayer 1976, Versevelt & Bayer 1988, Bayer 1990).

Cnidaria: Scleractinia: Of 98 species listed, 42 found in shallow water (Maragos 1977), 49 in deeper water (Cairns 1984), 3 from northwest islands (Grigg et al. 1981), 5 new records in Maragos (1995); of 91 published species, 50 are exclusively ahermatypic, 37 are exclusively hermatypic, 4 are facultative species (Cairns 1984).

Platyhelminthes (Parasitic): Of 511 species listed, 147 monogenetic species including 132 species described from 121 species of Hawaiian fishes (Yamaguti 1968b).

Annelida: Polychaeta: Approximately 100 additional species are known, but not yet reported from Hawaiian waters (J. Bailey-Brock, pers. comm.).

Nematoda: zooparasitic: The figure given is very incomplete. Of 33 species, 22 are from intermingling herds of mammals on Molokai (McKenzie & Davidson 1989); 2 from monk seals (Chapin 1935), 8 larval forms from fishes (Deardorff et al. 1982), 1 parasitic record from an elasmobranch (Deardorff 1987).

Mollusca: Gastropoda: There are 763 nomenclaturally correct native land species; all endemic except 2-4 indigenous but not endemic species (Cowie et al. 1995), approximately 50 nonindigenous species (R.H. Cowie, pers. comm.); 7 endemic freshwater snails, approximately 30 nonindigenous species (R.H. Cowie, pers. comm.).

Crustacea: Branchiopoda: Four species from Mauna Kea at elevations from 6500- 13,700 ft [1980-4175 m] (Ueno 1936).

Crustacea: Ostracoda: Numerous species; J.C. Holden (MS) made identifications to only genera, he noted more than 100 fossil species; 30 benthic species (Kornicker 1976, Danielopol & Hartmann 1986, Hartmann, 1991); 1 freshwater species (Vávra 1906).

Crustacea: Copepoda: The 92 species listed include planktonic, benthic, and ectoparasitic forms; 5 insterstitial species (Wells 1986).

Crustacea: Cirripedia: Of 58 species in the table, 11 are from deep water including 8 new species (Pilsbry 1907); 46 shallow-water species includes 3 acrothoracican species (W.A. Newman, MS key); 1 rhizocephalan parasite (Boschma 1953).

Crustacea: Isopoda: Of 27 marine species, 3 were collected in deep water (Richardson 1906); 6 species are parasitic epicarideans (Danforth 1970); of 51 terrestrial species 15 are endemic and 25 nonindigenous species.

Chordata: Pisces: The 1150+ marine species listed include all species from all depths to 200 miles from shore-no freshwater, no undescribed, and no doubtful species are included; 1285 species when all conditions provided (B. Mundy, pers. comm.); Randall (1992) listed 536 species of shore fishes, with 25% endemicity.

Chordata: Aves: The 274 species listed is an all-inclusive contemporary list: 60 resident native species, 46 resident nonindigenous species, 13 breeding visitor species, 155 nonbreeding visitor species. There are also 16 species extinct since Captain Cook, 35+ extinct before Captain Cook (subfossil), and 150± nonindigenous species not established bringing the total number of species known to occur or be sighted in Hawaii to 475± (R.L. Pyle, pers. comm). [Pyle (1992) listed 131 bird species; 53 nonindigenous species.] Thirty-two fossil species have been described by Olson & James (1991) and James & Olson (1991).

Chordata: Mammalia: Of 20 species of terrestrial mammals 19 are free-ranging species (the horse is no longer feral) and 1 species of bat (an additional undescribed subfossil species of bat is known; F.G. Howarth, pers. comm.); of 24 marine species, 2 are littoral marine (seals) and 22 are pelagic (whales and dolphins) (Tomich 1986).


Summary

From literature and unpublished sources, approximately 21,383 species have been recorded from the Hawaiian Islands and surrounding waters. Of these, 8,759 are endemic to the Hawaiian Islands, and 4,532 are nonindigenous species of protists, fungi, plants, and animals. Of these approximately 15,000 species are terrestrial, 300 are found in freshwater, and 5,500 are marine-inhabiting. Endemism varies from very low (e.g., lower plants and many marine organisms) to very high (e.g., insects and snails). However, many gaps in the knowledge of Hawaii's biota (especially the smaller organisms-viruses, bacteria, protists, freshwater algae, etc.), still remain.

Numbers of Hawaiian Species: Supplement 1


[Originally published in Bishop Museum Occasional Papers 45: 8-17 (1996).]

Scott E. Miller and Lucius G. Eldredge (Department of Natural Sciences, Bishop Museum, 1525 Bernice Street, Honolulu, Hawaii 96817, USA)


This is a supplement to our earlier tabulation of species known from Hawaii (Eldredge & Miller 1995; see also Mlot 1995). The Hawaii Biological Survey is currently working on species checklists and bibliographies for many of these taxa, so this should be viewed as an interim report subject to further change. See Eldredge & Miller (1995) for definitions and scope. We have not included bacteria and viruses, but have now included human parasitic protists and helminths. Allison et al. (1995, table 21.3) summarized the numbers of marine species based on Eldredge & Miller (1995).

From literature and unpublished sources, approximately 22,056 species have been recorded from the Hawaiian Islands and surrounding waters. Of these, 8,850 are endemic to the Hawaiian Islands, and 4,464 are nonindigenous species of protists, fungi, plants and animals. These numbers include significant refinements from the previous compilation by Eldredge & Miller (1995), based on continued literature survey and review by specialists, especially among the parasitic Protozoa and helminths. Many gaps in knowledge of HawaiiÐs biota remain and many species of protists, algae, fungi, worms and arthropods remain to be described.

Endemic species are restricted to Hawaii; nonindigenous (= alien, = exotic, includes introduced) species do not naturally occur in Hawaii; indigenous species occur naturally in Hawaii but are not endemic. See Eldredge & Miller 1995 for additional definitions and qualifications.

Freshwater and terrestrial Cyanophyta (blue-green algae)
We have not yet reconciled the many old records (e.g., MacCaughey 1918, Tilden 1901, 1910) with current nomenclature. Some recent records include Doty & Watson 1981, MacEntee & Bold 1978, and Zimmerman & Bergman 1990. Patterson et al. (1991 and included references) included many Hawaiian species in a phytochemical screening program. The recorded flora of freshwater and terrestrial forms likely approaches 100 species.

We have not yet reconciled the many old records (e.g., MacCaughey 1918, Tilden 1901) with current nomenclature, but our original estimate of over 120 species was too low. Recent authoritative records include over 172 diatoms (Fungladda et al. 1983), 26 desmids (Prescott et al. 1975-1983), and 34 macroalgae in streams (Vis et al. 1994). The total likely exceeds 250 species.

Protozoa
The protists of the Hawaiian islands have never been systematically surveyed, but we have accumulated records of 207 species (excluding Foraminifera) from a variety of sources. Only authoritative identifications have been included. We expect that the ultimate number of species will be vastly greater.

Free-living marine protozoa: 39 species (Phillips 1977, Larsen & Patterson 1990), in addition to over 1000 species of Forminifera (Chave 1987).
Free-living freshwater protozoa: 61 species, including 59 testaceous rhizopods (Van Winkle 1927), Paramecium primaurelia Sonneborn 1975, and Tetrahymena tropicalis Nanney & McCoy 1976 (= T. pyriformis variety 9 of Elliott et al. 1964).
Free-living soil protozoa: At least 31 ciliates, 9 flagellates, 6 Sarcodina, and 10 Testacea recorded from various habitats on Hawaii Island (Bamforth & Eggler 1973, Foissner 1993, 1994).
Parasitic protozoa of terrestrial vertebrates including humans: 60 species. Alicata (1969) detailed the species known from humans and domestic animals. Other key references include: Colgrove (1976 ¦ dog), Metcalf (1923 ¦ amphibian), Upton et al. (1994 ¦ reptiles), Wallace & Frenkel (1975 ¦ cat), Van Hoven et al. (1992 ¦ deer), and Van Riper (1991 ¦ birds).
Parasitic protozoa of invertebrates: 11 species symbionts in 3 species of termites (Kirby 1941-1946, Lai et al. 1983), at least 9 species from insects (Fujii & Tamashiro 1967, Tamashiro 1968, Tanabe & Tamashiro 1967, Tanada 1957), 2 species from marine crabs (Ball 1963).
Parasitic protozoa of marine fishes: 8 species (Basson et al. 1990, Lom 1970, Moser & Noble 1977a, b).

Fungi
We have not yet tabulated the number of fungi beyond our original estimates, but it is worth pointing to the recent work on yeasts associated with flowering plants (Starmer 1981), especially Opuntia cactus (Starmer et al. 1990); the recent reviews of rust fungi (over 74 species ¦ Gardner & Hodges 1989, Gardner 1994); and Agaricales (101 taxa ¦ Desjardin et al. 1992).

Platyhelminthes (zooparasitic)
Of 583 species, 56 are cestodes (tapeworms) including 20 from marine fishes (Cornford 1974, Carvajal et al. 1976, Beveridge & Campbell 1993, Brill et al. 1987, Deardoff et al. 1984, Gulyaev & Korotaeva 1989, Yamaguti 1968a), 1 from freshwater fishes (Font & Tate 1994), 21 from terrestrial vertebrates (including human) (Alicata 1969, Olsen & Haas 1976, Lewis & Holmes 1971), of 2 species from intermingling mammals 1 is new record (McKenzie & Davidson), 7 from green turtles (Dailey et al. 1992), 1 from porpoise (Testa & Dailey 1977), 4 from Hawaiian monk seal (Anderson 1987), and 1 from "megamouth" shark (Dailey & Vogelhein 1982); the remaining 527 species are trematodes (flukes), 507 from marine fishes (Lebedev 1984, Mamaev 1989, Oliver 1983, Yamaguti 1965, 1968b, 1970), 16 from terrestrial vertebrates (including human) (Alicata 1969, O'Leary et al. 1985), 1 unidentified species (larva) from freshwater fish (Font & Tate 1994), 1 from nonindigenous, marine, cage-cultured tilapia (Kaneko et al. 1988), 1 species from the cane toad (Speare 1990), 1 species with secondary intermediate stage in coral Porites compressa (Aeby 1991).

Acanthocephala
Three species not reported in 1995: Moniliformis moniliformis from rats (Alicata 1969) and cockroach (Schaefer 1970); Corynosoma rauschi from Hawaiian monk seal (Dailey et al. 1988); and Mediorhynchus orientalis from birds (Schmidt & Kuntz 1977); also unidentified species from freshwater fish (Font & Tate 1994).

Nematoda (zooparasitic)
Of 131 zooparasitic species, 93 reported from terrestrial vertebrates (including man) (Alicata 1969), of 22 species reported from intermingling mammals 12 are new records (McKenzie & Davidson 1989), 1 species from Hawaiian monk seal (Dailey 1988), 1 from albatross (Langston & Hillgarth 1995), 3 from endemic birds (Cid del Prado et al. 1985), 3 from gamebirds (Lewin & Holmes 1971, Smith 1973), 18 from marine fishes (Bruce et al. 1994, Deardoff & Overstreet 1982, Deardoff et al. 1982, 1983, Deardoff 1987, Noble 1966, Solovjeva & Pozdnyakov 1984), and 1 from freshwater fish (Font & Tate 1994).

Tardigrada Pollock (1995) published the first record of 2 species of marine tardigrades--Dipodarctus borrori and D. anaholiensis--from Anahola Bay, Kauai.

Bryozoa
Two Hawaiian freshwater bryozoan species were overlooked in our earlier report (Bailey-Brock & Hayward 1984); one new deepwater, marine species described (Chimonides & Cook 1994).

Mollusca
Cowie et al. (1995) previously cited as “in pressÝ has been published; the 75 non-indigenous species in the table represents non-marine mollusks only¦ numbers of non-indigenous marine mollusks have not yet been ascertained (R.H. Cowie, pers. comm.).

Annelida: Hirudinea
Two leeches collected in association with freshwater fishes to be added to species list: Myzobdella lugubris and Cystobranchus sp. (Font & Tate 1994).

Arthropoda: Crustacea
Recent additions to the crustacean fauna of the Hawaiian Islands include: cyclopoid copepod Haplostomides hawaiiensis [n.sp.](Ooishi 1994); harpacticoid copepod Psammopsyllus stri (Kunz 1993); ascothoracid cirriped Laura bicornuta [n.sp.] and Zoanthoecus cerebroides [n.sp.](Grygier 1985); mysids Anisomysis hawaiiensis [n.sp.], A. extranea [n.sp.], A. xenops (Murano 1995), Holmesimysis costata (Holmquist 1979), and Gnathophausia longispina (Wilson & Boehlert 1993); marine isopods Neonaesa rugosa and Cymodocella hawaiiensis [n.sp.](Bruce 1994); deep-water caridean shrimp Opaepele loihi [n.gen. & n.sp.] (Williams & Dobbs 1995).

Terrestrial and freshwater Arthropoda
The numbers for some groups have changed because of continued refinement of synonymies and distribution status in the database (G.M. Nishida, pers. comm.), as well as recent publications (Gillespie 1994¦3 new endemic spiders; Asquith 1994¦39 new endemic bugs). Many additional endemic species od arthropods remain to be described (e.g., Howarth 1990). Also, the original figure for nonindigenous species of the insect order Diptera was a typographical error and should read 361 rather than 631 (this did not impact the total numbers).

Insecta: 7862 total species, including 5237 endemic and 2527 nonindigenous;
Araneae: 200 total species, including 126 endemic and 70 nonindigenous;
Acari: 529 total species, including 103 endemic and 365 nonidigenous.
Symphyla: Has 5 nonindigenous species (Nishida 1994), was overlooked in the original list.

Chordata: Reptilia
Our original list omitted 3 indigenous species of sea turtles and 3 nonindigenous species of freshwater turtles (C. Kishinami, pers. comm.).
