&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Portugese title:&amp;nbsp;Listagem dos organismos terrestres e marinhos dos açores&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Resumo:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. Os Açores são um arquipélago isolado de nove ilhas oceânicas, pertence à região biogeográfica da Ma- caronésia e está entre as regiões mais ricas em fungos, plantas e animais da Europa. Este capítulo destaca o que sabemos sobre os fungos, a fauna e a flora dos ha- bitats terrestres, dulçaquícolas e marinhos dos Açores.&lt;br /&gt;
	2. Neste capítulo, são apresentadas as estimativas do número total de espécies e subespécies conhecidas actualmente nos Açores. Todos os grupos taxonómicos terrestres mais importantes foram analisados: fungos, lí- quenes, diatomáceas dulçaquícolas, briófitos (musgos, hepáticas e antocerotas), plantas vasculares (licófitas, fetos, gimnospérmicas e angiospérmicas), platelmintes (vermes), nemátodos, anelídeos (minhocas), moluscos terrestres (lesmas e caracóis), artrópodes (insectos, arac- nídeos, milípedes, etc.) e vertebrados (peixes de água doce, anfíbios, répteis, aves e mamíferos). A presente obra inclui também espécies do ambiente marinho, como as algas (macroalgas), a maioria dos filos de invertebra- dos do litoral e os vertebrados marinhos (répteis, peixes e mamíferos). As listas de espécies e subespécies (Ca- pítulos 2-15) são baseadas nos taxa identificados numa grande variedade de publicações, tendo essa informa- ção sido compilada por um vasto grupo de especialistas.&lt;br /&gt;
	3. Actualmente, o número total de taxa (espécies e subespécies) terrestres nos Açores está estimado em cerca de 6164 (cerca de 6112 espécies). A inclusão de uma listagem exaustiva das espécies de aves não-nidi- ficantes e de uma listagem preliminar de espécies de aves potencialmente nidificantes acrescenta 325 espé- cies e subespécies ao total das espécies açorianas.&lt;br /&gt;
	4. O número total de espécies e subespécies en- démicas terrestres dos Açores é de cerca de 452 (411 espécies). Os animais são os mais diversos em ende- mismos, com 331 taxa (Arthropoda = 266; Mollusca = 49; Vertebrata = 14; Nematoda = 2), compreendendo cerca de 73% dos endemismos terrestres dos Açores. A percentagem de endemismo nos Mollusca (44%) é notável. As plantas vasculares contam com 73 ende- mismos, os Fungi (incluindo os líquenes) têm 34 e, tanto as diatomáceas dulçaquícolas como os briófitos, incluem sete espécies endémicas.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5. Quando comparada com os arquipélagos vizi- nhos da Macaronésia (Madeira e Canárias), a fauna&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;e flora terrestres dos Açores é caracterizada por uma menor taxa de endemismo, de apenas 7%, contrastan- do com os cerca de 20% para a Madeira e de 30% para as Canárias.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;6. No que diz respeito aos organismos marinhos, são listados 1883 taxa pertencentes a 16 filos. O nú- mero total de espécies e subespécies marinhas endé- micas dos Açores é de cerca de 39, a maior parte delas moluscos (29 espécies).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;7. O número total de taxa terrestres e marinhos (es- pécies e subespécies) nos Açores está estimado em cer- ca de 8047. Os organismos marinhos agora listados, perfazem cerca de 23% da biodiversidade dos Açores.&lt;br /&gt;
	8. O número total de taxa terrestres e marinhos (es- pécies e subespécies) endémicos dos Açores está esti- mado em cerca de 491.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Abstract:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. The Azores is a remote oceanic archipelago of nine islands which belongs to the Macaronesia biogeographical region and is among the richest regions concerning fungi, plant and animal diversity in Europe. This chapter highlights what we know about the Azorean terrestrial, freshwater and marine Fungi, Flora and Fauna.&lt;br /&gt;
	2. In this chapter we summarize the current estimates of the total number of species and subspecies presently known to occur in the Azores. The most important terrestrial taxonomic groups were studied: Fungi, Lichens, Bacillariophyta (freshwater diatoms), Bryophyta sensu lato (mosses, liverworts and hornworts), vascular plants &amp;ndash; Tracheobionta, including Lycopodiophyta (quillworts), Pteridophyta (ferns), Pinophyta (gymnosperms) and Magnoliophyta (angiosperms), Platyhelminthes (flatworms), Nematoda (roundworms), Annelida (earthworms), Terrestrial Mollusca (slugs and snails), Arthropoda (millipedes, centipedes, mites, spiders, insects, etc.) and Vertebrata (freshwater fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals). In addition, we expand this list to the marine realm, including Algae (macroalgae), coastal invertebrates (most Phyla) and marine vertebrates (fishes, reptiles and mammals). The list of species and subspecies (Chapters 2 to 15) is based on the taxa recognized in primary published literature sources, compiled by a vast group of experts.&lt;br /&gt;
	3.Currentlythetotalnumberofterrestrialtaxa(species and subspecies) in the Azores is estimated of about 6164 (about 6112 species). The inclusion of an exhaustive listing of non breeding species and a preliminary list of potentially breeding species adds 325 species and subspecies of birds to the Azorean list of species.&lt;br /&gt;
	4. The total number of terrestrial endemic species and/or subspecies from the Azores is about 452 (411 species). Animals are the most represented in this respect, with 331 taxa (Arthropoda = 266; Mollusca = 49; Vertebrata = 14; Nematoda = 2), that is, about 73% of the Azorean terrestrial endemics. The percentage of endemism within Mollusca (44%) is remarkable. Vascular plants have 73 endemic taxa, while Fungi (including Lichens) have 34, freshwater diatoms and bryophytes have seven endemic species each.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;5. Compared to the other nearest Macaronesian archipelagos (Madeira and Canaries), the Azorean terrestrial fauna and flora is characterized by a lower percentage of endemism (only 7%, which contrasts with nearly 20% for Madeira and 30% for the Canary islands).&lt;br /&gt;
	6. Concerning the marine organisms, we listed about 1883 taxa belonging to 16 Phyla. The total number of marine endemic species and/or subspecies from the Azores is about 39, most of them being molluscs (29 species).&lt;br /&gt;
	7. Currently, the total number of terrestrial and marine taxa (species and subspecies) in the Azores is estimated in about 8047. The marine organisms currently listed make up about 23% of the Azorean biodiversity.&lt;br /&gt;
	8. Currently, the total number of terrestrial and marine endemic taxa (species and subspecies) in the Azores is estimated of about 491.&lt;/p&gt;
