The geographical and geologic-historical summary for the Czech Republic notes the 4 major faunal elements of local nature: Hercynian District, Carpathian District, Pontico-Pannonian District, and Polonian District.

  • Biodiversity of the Water Reservoirs in the Vicinity of Usje Marl Quarry
    Biodiversity of the Water Reservoirs in the Vicinity of Usje Marl Quarry S.Petkovski, (1); I.Mastoris, (2); N.B.Kormusoska, (3); (1) NGO BIOECO Skopje, Republic of Macedonia (2) TITAN Cement Company S.A., Athens, Greece (3) Cementarnica “Usje” A.D., Skopje, Republic of Macedonia [email protected] Abstract In line with the activities of WBCSD/CSI task force on biodiversity, Titan uses specific tools for screening Group quarries versus areas of high biodiversity value, like the EMERALD network of Macedonia. The water reservoirs (artificial lakes) inside the Usje Marl Quarry, in proximity with the Titan Cement Plant Usje (Skopje, Macedonia), were gradually ‘formed’ in the 1980’s, after excavating closed pits inside the mine plan area. Freshwater supply to these confined water bodies is due to precipitation and surface rainwater inflows. Plant and animal species have inhabited the area, including the lakes, by natural processes, except the fish stocking that was made by the sport fishermen employed with Usje. Currently, the area more or less resembles a natural wetland ecosystems. By initiative of Usje, and in line with Titan’s Corporate Social Responsibility Policy, an Investigation Study on Hydrology, Hydrogeology & Biodiversity was conducted. This paper is going to present findings and recommendations of the investigation related to biodiversity. Besides the check lists of recorded species, for certain taxonomic groups a “potential list of species” was prepared, as a tool for evaluation of the quality of habitats. Despite the inevitable environmental degradation, the degree to which the terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and associated species have survived, even in a modified and reduced state, is surprising.

Rapport MMNHN-SPN 2013 - 19, 201 p. Résumé : Les études de phylogénie moléculaire sur les Lépidoptères Rhopalocères et Zygènes sont de plus en plus nombreuses ces dernières années modifiant la systématique et la taxinomie de ces deux groupes. Une mise à jour complète est réalisée dans ce travail. Un cadre décisionnel a été élaboré pour les niveaux spécifiques et infra-spécifique avec une approche intégrative de la taxinomie. Ce cadre intégre notamment un aspect biogéographique en tenant compte des zones-refuges potentielles pour les espèces au cours du dernier maximum glaciaire. Cette démarche permet d’avoir une approche homogène pour le classement des taxa aux niveaux spécifiques et infra-spécifiques. Les conséquences pour l’acquisition des données dans le cadre d’un inventaire national sont développées. Summary : Studies on molecular phylogenies of Butterflies and Burnets have been increasingly frequent in the recent years, changing the systematics and taxonomy of these two groups. A full update has been performed in this work.

Von einem der 99 konnte sogar noch eine Eiablage erzielt werden. Zugleich wurde die Vermutung geäußert, daß diese Art bereits im vorausgegangenen Herbst in dieser Region vorhanden gewesen sein muß, da im April Falter beobachtet wurden, die offensichtlich von einer über­ winternden Generation stammen mußten.

  • A Reconnaissance of Population Genetic Variation in Arctic and Subarctic Sulfur Butterflies (Colias Spp.; Lepidoptera, Pieridae)
    1614 A reconnaissance of population genetic variation in arctic and subarctic sulfur butterflies (Colias spp.; Lepidoptera, Pieridae) Christopher W. Wheat, Ward B. Watt, and Christian L. Boutwell Abstract: Genotype–phenotype–environment interactions in temperate-zone species of Colias Fabricius, 1807 have been well studied in evolutionary terms. Arctic and alpine habitats present a different range of ecological, especially thermal, conditions under which such work could be extended across species and higher clades. To this end, we survey variation in three genes that code for phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI), phosphoglucomutase (PGM), and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) in seven arctic and alpine Colias taxa (one only for G6PD). These genes are highly polymor- phic in all taxa studied. Patterns of variation for the PGI gene in these northern taxa suggest that the balancing selec- tion seen at this gene in temperate-zone taxa may extend throughout northern North America. Comparative study of these taxa may thus give insight into the mechanisms driving genetic differentiation among subspecies, species, and broader clades, supporting the study of both micro- and macro-evolutionary questions. Résumé : L’étude des interactions génotype–phénotype–environnement chez les papillons Colias Fabricius, 1807 de la région tempérée s’est faite dans une perspective évolutive. Les habitats arctiques et alpins offrent une gamme différente de conditions écologiques et, en particulier, thermiques dans lesquelles un tel travail peut s’étendre au niveau des espè- ces et des clades supérieurs. Dans ce but, nous avons étudié la variation de trois gènes — ceux de la phosphoglucose isomérase (PGI), de la phosphoglucomutase (PGM) et de la glucose-6-phosphate déshydrogénase (G6PD) — chez sept taxons de Colias arctiques et alpins (un seul taxon pour G6PD).
