Acknowledgements

I would like to thank Philip Lambert (Curator of Invertebrates, RBCM) for organizing and participating in the Living Landscapes fieldwork in 2001. Kelly Sendall (Senior Collections Manager, Ichthyology, Herpetology and Invertebrate Zoology, RBCM) offered his assistance while sorting, identifying and curating material. Dr Heike Reise (Curator of Molluscs, Staatliches Museum für Naturkunde Görlitz, Germany) helped with and commented on some of the slug identifications. Drs Jean-Marc Gagnon (Chief Collection Manager, Invertebrate Section, Canadian Museum of Nature, Ottawa) and Jochen Gerber (Invertebrates Collections Manager, Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago) allowed for the loan of specimens in their collections. Tammy Forsyth helped collect some of the material reported here.
