Abstract
This dataset records the occurrence and inventory of molluscan fauna on Gueishan Island, the only active
volcanic island in Taiwan, based on the literature survey and field investigation conducted between 2011
and 2012. The literature review involved seven studies published from 1934 to 2003, which collectively
reported 112 species from 61 genera and 37 families of Mollusca on Gueishan Island. Through our field
investigation, we identified 34 species from 28 genera and 23 families. Fourteen of these species were new
records on Gueishan Island: Liolophura japonica, Lottia luchuana, Nerita costata, Nerita rumphii, Diplom-
matina suganikeiensis, Littoraria undulata, Solenomphala taiwanensis, Assiminea sp., Siphonaria laciniosa,

Biodiversity and Information Facility, So�ia, Bulgaria of Natural History

Laevapex nipponica, Carychium hachijoensis, Succinea erythrophana, Zaptyx crassilamellata, and Allopeas
pyrgula. In Total, there are 126 species from 71 genera and 45 families of Mollusca on Gueishan Island.
These data have been published through GBIF [http://taibif.org.tw/ipt/resource.do?r=gueishan_island]
and integrated into the Taiwan Malacofauna Database (http://shell.sinica.edu.tw/).

Study area descriptions/descriptor: Gueishan Island is located about 10 km from
Taiwan. The island was formed via volcanic activity about 1.65 Ma ago and experienced
multiple volcanic eruption events until 20 ka ago (Juang et al. 2011). It is considered the
only active volcanic island near Taiwan. The land area of the island is about 2.85 km2, and
the highest peak of the island is 398 meters above sea level. There are two lakes on the is-
land, one of which consist of brackish water (Head Lake) and the other of freshwater (Tail
Lake) (Figure 1). Humans colonized Gueishan Island in mid-19th century, by forming a
small village. Later in 1977, all residents were moved back to Taiwan due to military re-
quirements for the island. The fauna of this island were not investigated systematically un-
til 2000, when the island came under the management of the Northeast and Yilan Coast
National Scenic Area Administration, Tourism Bureau, MOTC and was open to tourists.
Design description: Island species are vulnerable to extinction due to their relatively
small population size and limited access to resources. The number of species on an island
represents a dynamic equilibrium between immigration and extinction. Volcanic islands
provide particularly interesting cases of island biogeography, in that their biota is erased
by volcanic activity and recolonized from neighboring regions. Species on Gueishan Is-
land may have under gone several cycles of extinction after volcanic eruption, followed
by recolonization from Taiwan when the sea-level dropped during glacial periods. Hu-

man activity may also have provided opportunities for colonization of mollusks, either
intentionally or accidentally. Investigations of molluscan fauna have been previously
conducted on Gueishan Island, but these did not involve a comprehensive examination
of land snails. We performed a literature survey using diverse databases, in order to col-
lect previously identified reports on molluscan fauna of Gueishan Island. In addition, we
performed field sampling of mollusks in marine, freshwater and terrestrial environments
during 2011 and 2012 to establish the inventory of molluscan fauna of Gueishan Island.
We considered both the topography of the island and the habitats of mollusks during
our field investigation. We focused on the terrestrial environment, as the majority of the
earlier investigations examined non-terrestrial habitats. In total, our literature survey and

field investigation identified 126 species from 71 genera and 45 families of Mollusca on
Gueishan Island. This dataset provides basic information on the island’s biodiversity.

Taxonomic coverage
General taxonomic coverage description: The coverage of this dataset includes 126
species from 71 genera and 45 families of Mollusks of marine, freshwater and terrestri-
al environments on Gueishan Island (Table 1). It includes Class Gastropoda (88.10%),

• A Data Paper is a scholarly journal publication whose The Data Paper should include several important elements
Class Bivalvia (8.73%), Class Cephalopoda (1.59%), and Class Polyplacophora
(1.59%). The top five representative families are Cypraeidae (20 species, 15.87%),
Trochidae (13 species, 10.32%), Muricidae (11 species, 8.73%), Neritidae (8 species,
6.35%), and Littorinidae (5 species, 3.97%) (Figure 2).

Sampling description:

Literature survey: We searched for publications (including journals, project reports,

theses and books) associated with the molluscan fauna of Gueishan Island from the
following databases: (1) the National Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations in
Taiwan (http://ndltd.ncl.edu.tw) (this contains details of theses and dissertations pub-

National Bibliographic Information Network (http://nbinet3.ncl.edu.tw) (this catalog
integrates information from National Central Library and 74 other libraries contain-
ing all publications with a Taiwan ISBN and selected government project reports; three
publications (Wu 2002, National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium 2003,

(4) Google Scholar (http://scholar.google.com.tw/) (this contains a wide range of re-
sources, from journals and books to webpages, and it provided two relevant journal
articles (Chen and Fu 2007, Lee and Chen 2010)); (5) The Taiwan Malacofauna Da-

(Lee and Wu 1998, Jung and Lai 1999, Wu 2002, National Museum of Marine Biol-
ogy and Aquarium 2003, Hwang and Lee 2003, Chen and Fu 2007)). In addition,
three relevant publications (Hayasaka and Tan 1934, Kuroda 1938, Kuroda 1941)
were identified from citations in Wu (2002). In total, we identified ten relevant pub-
lications. Three of these publications (Lee and Wu 1998, Chen and Fu 2007, Lee and
Chen 2010) were excluded because they described specimens acquired from fishing
ports that had been captured by shrimp fishing or bottom trawling boats near Gueis-
han Island, without information of the precise sampling location. The seven remaining
publications were used to establish the occurrence and inventory data. Sampling sites,
names of collectors and the scientific name of each species were recorded using Mi-
crosoft EXCEL 2010. All of the publications mentioned above can be accessed in the
National Central Library and the National Taiwan Library.

tat were considered for field investigation. Visual search was conducted for mollusks in
intertidal, freshwater and terrestrial environments (Figure 1). The surface of rocks on
the coastline and man-made concrete structures in port were searched for marine mol-
lusks during low tide. Leaf litter and rocks under or near water around Tail Lake (the
only freshwater habitat on island) were inspected for freshwater mollusks. We inspect-
ed from leaves, trunks, leaves litter, rocks and rotten woods for land snails along three
trails: one trail around Tail Lake, another leads to the highest peak (401 Highland) on
the island, and the other leads to the northern part of the island. We surveyed for land
snails during their active periods: during and after rainfall, early morning, and night.
At least one living individual or dead shells of each species was collected as voucher
specimens. Living organisms were brought back to laboratory, fixed via freezing in a
-80°C freezer, and subsequently transferred to 95% ethanol for long term preservation.
Quality control description: Latitude, longitude and altitude of sampling sites
were recorded using Garmin GPSmap 60CSx with uncertainty of less than 10 meters.
Sampling sites were georeferenced (WGS84). All the specimens collected during the
field investigation were identified independently by Huang and Hsiung. Seven earlier
studies described the mollucan fauna of Gueishan Island, but these publications lack

performed using the following guide books and publications about Taiwan malaco-
fauna: Pace (1973), Lai (1990, 1998), Lee and Chen (2003), Wu and Lee (2005), and
Hsieh et al. (2006). Newly recorded species were further confirmed by Dr. Yen-Chen
Lee, a Mollusca specialist and postdoctoral researcher in the Biodiversity Research
Center, Academia Sinica. Fourteen new recorded species were found to be native to
Taiwan but previously unreported on Gueishan Island.
