The aims of this project were to: Collate available information on threatened invertebrates in Canterbury (including that from Molloy & Davies (1992) and Patrick & Dugdale (2000)); Raise awareness of groups of invertebrates previously not considered and provide a revised list of species considered to be threatened; Provide some measure of the conservation status of these threatened species and thus set priorities for action; Provide location, biology, taxonomic and ecological information, where available, and highlight areas where further research is necessary. Unfortunately some groups, for example nematodes and terrestrial gastropods, have been excluded due to resource constraints, or a complete lack of information when compiling the list.enCopyright © 2000 Department of Conservationendangered invertebratesidentificationresearch prioritiesconservation statusCanterburyReportMarsden::270708 Conservation and biodiversityMarsden::300805 Conservation
