A list of 210 species of echinoids recorded from the Philippines was developed using
data from the literature, the 2011 Hearst Philippine Biodiversity Expedition, and
ancillary sources such as collections at the California Academy of Sciences and the
National Museum of Natural History at the Smithsonian Institution. The list was
then taxonomically updated using the World Echinoidea Database. The Philippines is
home to more species of echinoids than any other comparable region in the world.
Ongoing discovery of new Philippine records and species new to science indicate that
present species richness estimates for the Philippines are conservative. Analysis of
the list suggests that the unsurpassed Philippine echinoid diversity is best explained
by the center of overlap hypothesis. Several of the echinoid species encountered during
the Expedition have the potential of dramatically increasing our understanding
of their evolution, behavior, and ecological significance.
