KEY TO ABBREVIATIONS FOR TABLE 14
Ecological type: (based on Iversen, 1991b)
• F - Forest dependent species: Species previously recorded as restricted to primary or closed canopy forest only, e.g. wet evergreen
forest, dry evergreen forest and/or riverine forest;
• f - Forest dwelling but not forest dependent: Species previously recorded in primary or closed canopy forest as defined above
and/or in forest edge, clearings, secondary forest, deciduous forest and woodland, and
• O - Non-forest species: These are species that do not occur in primary or secondary forest or forest edge (e.g. species that have
been recorded in bushland, heathland, thicket, secondary scrub, grassland, rocky outcrops, swamps, wastelands and cultivation.
Habitat: (based on Hamilton, 1989)
• L - Lowland: Species occurring at altitudes less than 850m above sea level;
• S - Submontane: Species occurring at altitudes greater than 850m above sea level.
• M – Montane Species occurring at altitudes greater than 1,250m above sea level.
If species occur in more than one habitat range, this has been recorded (e.g. L&S – this species has been recorded at altitudess between
0 and 850m above sea level).
Endemic status: (based on Iversen, 1991b):
• E - Endemic: Occurring only in the Usambara mountains, EU - Range limited to the East Usambara Mountains, WU - Range
limited to the West Usambara Mountains;
• N - Near endemic: Species with limited ranges in the Eastern Arc mountains and/or the East African lowland forests;
• W - Widespread distribution.
