Proposta di codificazione per una gestione informatica dei corotipi W-paleartici, con particolare riferimento alla fauna italiana

Abstract

PROPOSAL OF A SCHEME FOR THE COMPUTER USE REGARDING THE W-PALAEARCTIC CHOROTYPES, WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO THE ITALIAN FAUNA

In order to give a detailed map of the geographical range in chorotypes to be compared for significant biogeographical analisys, the author suggests the adoption of a scheme which can be easily used by software programs.

The scheme, which uses an abbreviation code composed by three letters and a number suffix, respects both the precision of the chorotypes sensu LA GRECA (1963) and the practicalness of the chorotypes sensu VIGNA TAGLIANTI et al. (1990).

Key words: endemisms, geographic distribution.
