These authors contributed equally to this work. y Received: 16 March 2019; Accepted: 5 April 2019; Published: 10 April 2019 Abstract: Proturans are small, wingless, soil-dwelling arthropods, generally associated with the early diversification of Hexapoda. Their bizarre morphology, together with conflicting results of molecular studies, has nevertheless made their classification ambiguous. Furthermore, their limited dispersal capability (due to the primarily absence of wings) and their euedaphic lifestyle have greatly complicated species-level identification.

John Bailer ABSTRACT EFFECTS OF ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION (UVR) INDUCED DNA DAMAGE AND OTHER ECOLOGICAL DETERMINANTS ON CRYPTOSPORIDIUM PARVUM, GIARDIA LAMBLIA, AND DAPHNIA SPP. IN FRESHWATER ECOSYSTEMS Sandra J. Connelly Freshwater ecosystems are especially susceptible to climatic change, including anthropogenic-induced changes, as they are directly influenced by the atmosphere and terrestrial ecosystems. A major environmental factor that potentially affects every element of an ecosystem, directly or indirectly, is ultraviolet radiation (UVR). UVR has been shown to negatively affect the DNA of aquatic organisms by the same mechanism, formation of photoproducts (cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers; CPDs), as in humans. First, the induction of CPDs by solar UVR was quantified in four aquatic and terrestrial temperate ecosystems. Data show significant variation in CPD formation not only between aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems but also within a single ecosystem and between seasons. Second, there is little quantitative data on UV-induced DNA damage and the effectiveness of DNA repair mechanisms on the damage induced in freshwater invertebrates in the literature. The rate of photoproduct induction (CPDs) and DNA repair (photoenzymatic and nucleotide excision repair) in Daphnia following UVR exposures in artificial as well as two natural temperate lake systems was tested. The effect of temperature on the DNA repair rates, and ultimately the organisms’ survival, was tested under controlled laboratory conditions following artificial UVB exposure.

  • Historical and Geographic Distribution in Honduras
    Occasional Papers Museum of Texas Tech University Number 375 15 April 2021 Bats in time: Historical and Geographic Distribution in Honduras Manfredo A. Turcios-Casco, Richard K. LaVal, Don E. Wilson, and Hefer D. Ávila-Palma Abstract Bat records from Honduras reported herein are based on 11,163 individuals representing 113 species and eight families, recorded from 1860 to 2020. The Global Biodiversity Informa- tion Facility (GBIF) and published records were used to document the history of bat collecting in Honduras, and the number of species expected for the country and their relative abundance were estimated. Herein, the first checklist available for each department in Honduras is provided, as well as a discussion of the history of bat research in the country, including three peaks that oc- curred in 1967–69, 1983, and 2001. The geographic position of Honduras and the variety of its ecosystems combine to promote a diversity of bat species that are typical of regions to both the north and the south of Honduras. Despite the relatively large number of specimens known from the country, details of the distribution and natural history of each species remain understudied. Key words: Central America, Chiroptera, Honduras, natural history, relative abundance Resumen Los registros de murciélagos de Honduras que se describen en este documento se basan en 11,163 individuos que representan 113 especies y ocho familias, registrados desde 1860 hasta 2020. El Fondo de Información sobre Biodiversidad Global (GBIF) y los registros publicados se utilizaron para documentar la historia de la recolección de murciélagos en Honduras. Además se estimó el número de especies esperadas para el país y se describe la abundancia relativa de todas las especie.

KRAMARENKO Mykolaiv National Agrarian University, Paryzka Komuna St. 9, Mykolaiv, 54020, Ukraine (e-mail: [email protected]) ABSTRACT: Mechanisms which govern patterns of intra-specific vatiation in land snails were traced within areas of different size, using Brephulopsis cylindrica (Menke), Chondrula tridens (O. F. Müller), Xeropicta derbentina (Krynicki), X. krynickii (Krynicki), Cepaea vindobonensis (Férussac) and Helix albescens Rossmässler as examples. Morphometric shell variation, colour and banding pattern polymorphism as well as genetic polymorphism (allozymes and RAPD markers) were studied. The results and literature data were analysed in an attempt to link patterns to processes, with the following conclusions. Formation of patterns of intra- specific variation (initial processes of microevolution) takes different course at three different spatial scales. At micro-geographical scale the dominant role is played by eco-demographic characteristics of the species in the context of fluctuating environmental factors. At meso-geographical scale a special part is played by stochastic population-genetic processes. At macro-geographical scale more or less distinct clinal patterns are associated with basic macroclimatic
