Sažetak
As part of a new initiative to inventory the poorly known Taiwan bryozoan fauna, this poster reports on the faunistic results of two workshops that processed and identified collections from a five day field trip to Green Island, southeast Taiwan. The annotated list presented here includes 25 genera. Several taxa including species in Amastigia, Caberea, Canda, Catenicella, and Parasmittina are reported for Taiwan for the first time. Cheilostomates predominate and only a few Cyclostomate taxa were determined, then only to genus. These completely new data from Green Island probably reflect the taxonomic richness of the bryozoan fauna in the tropical western Pacific biogeographic region. This region still remains relatively uninventoried, but a regional inventory bryozoan workshop is planned for June, 2002.
