Peanut Island Marine Mollusks

- 535 species as of 1/1/2010 | updated on 1/1/2010 -
    Marine mollusks collected or otherwise observed in the immediate vicinity of Peanut Is., Lake Worth, Palm Beach Co., Florida based on work begun in 1963.  Contributions have been made by Randy Allamand, Mattie Chanley, Jane Brooks, Norma Carlson, Anne DuPont, Bill Frank, Eleanor Hillman, Tom Honker, Linda Ianniello, Sally Kaicher, Marlo Krisberg, Bob Lipe, Charlotte Lloyd, Bill and Carol Lyons, Frank Margiotta, Carole Marshall, Suzan Meldonian, Paul and Paula Mikkelsen (who edited a summary in 1986), Gustav Paulay and associates (4 March, 2008), Phil Poland, David Pugh, Gloria Scarboro, Judy Townsend, Doris Underwood, Bea Winner, Linda Zylman, several members of the Jacksonville Shell Club, and the current editor of this feature, Harry G. Lee. All identifications have been verified by at least one of the three editors, by Anne DuPont (many of the shell-less opisthobranchs), by Bill Lyons (chitons) and Jane Brooks (a few gastropods deposited at the Florida State Biological Survey Inventory [FSBS I]), or by Dr. Paulay (Florida Museum of Natural History).
