Gheoca – Terrestrial Gastropod fauna of the Repede River valley (113 ~ 122) INTRODUCTION The study area (Fig. 1) is located in the northern part of the Rodna Mountains National Park, northern Transylvania and Maramure ş areas. Figure 1: The study unit and location. (Badea et al., 1983; http://www.parcrodna.ro/ - modified). Concerning the geology, the studied area is localized on crystalline schists substrata, as is the most important part of the Rodna Mountains. The limestone substrata are present only in the south-western area of these mountains. Favored by heavy rainfalls, the natural grasslands are present here on extended surfaces, most of them being constantly overgrazed. This human activity (grazing) has lead in the most of the past decades to a high local and regional degradation, Repede River valley being one of the most affected from this point of view (Iacob, 1987). Spruce forests cover over 75% of the forested area. The first data concerning gastropods of the Rodna Mountains area are known since the XIX Century (Bielz, 1867; Kimakowicz, 1883, 1890, 1894). Only after a long period, almost a century later, in his valuable and comprehensive work, Grossu (1981, 1983, 1987), presents new data regarding also about this area, but they are most often sporadic and incomplete. More recent studies are more or less directly related to this mountainous area. Some papers present the snail fauna of the neighboring Maramure ş Mountains Nature Park (Fehér et al., 2008; Gheoca et al., 2008; Transylv. Rev. Syst. Ecol. Res. 9, (2010), "The Rodna Mountains National Park" 115 Sîrbu et al. 2008). Some recent papers concerning the Rodna Mountains where published by Andrei (1997) and Bába and Sárkány (1999), which presents aspects regarding the land snail fauna of the Some ş River valley, three of the sampling points being located in the southern area of the Rodna Mountains, on Some şul Mare River, as well as Feher et al. (2008). The last one presents a synthesis of data from the scientific literature and some still unpublished material from the Wagner collection of Hungarian Nature History Museum, including some data from the Rodna Mountains area. The present study aims to examine the terrestrial gastropods fauna of Repede Valley, in the northern area of Rodna Mountains National Park. MATERIAL AND METHODS In this study, qualitative samples were taken during one single campaign, in the month of June in 2009, in the Repede River valley. A total of seven sampling sites were chosen from the Vi şeu River to Izvorul Repede - Buh ăescu confluence, as shown in the figure 1. The sampling sites are as follows: S1 - Vi şeu River downstream the confluence with Repede River; modified, with cut wood, and coarse woody debris; vegetation consisting of Salicetum fragilis with Urtica dioica , Impatiens glandulifera and Petasites sp.; S2 - Repede River in Bor şa, at the confluence with Vi şeu River; vegetation - Salicetum fragilis with Urtica dioica, Rubus idaeus , Dryopteryx filis-mas ; S3 - Repede River in Bor şa; Salicetum fragilis with Urtica dioica and Impatiens glandulifera ; waste deposits on the side of the river; S4 - 1 km upstream Bor şa; rocks with mosses and ferns near the river, S4 - 3 km upstream Bor şa; Picea abies , rocks with mosses and ferns on a small side stream; S5 - 4 km upstream Bor şa, exposed rocks on the side of the river; S6 - 5 km upstream Bor şa; small stream with rocks and decomposing logs; wooden vegetation dominated by Picea abies. S7 - 6 km upstream Bor şa; Izvorul Repede - Buh ăescu confluence; slope which is generally very steep and unstable with much bare ground; Picea abies , some damper patches with Petasites sp . The sampling stations were chosen according to the valley’s morphology, the habitat type and the type and degree of human impact, in order to highlight the diversity of terrestrial gastropods. The biological material containing terrestrial gastropods was sorted and analyzed in the laboratory, preserved in 70% alcohol and included in the collections of the “Lucian Blaga” University of Sibiu, Faculty of Sciences, Department of Ecology and Environmental Protection, Zoology Laboratory. The collected biological material was identified using Grossu (1981, 1983, 1987). The nomenclature follows Fauna Europaea v. 2.3 (Bank, 2007). 116 V. Gheoca – Terrestrial Gastropod fauna of the Repede River valley (113 ~ 122) RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS In the seven sampling points, we have found 33 terrestrial gastropod species, belonging to 20 families. The following list presents the terrestrial gastropods taxa identified in the studied area; the taxonomy is based on Fauna Europaea (Bank, 2007); zoogeographical range and ecological preferences: H - hygrophilous; MH - mezohygrophilous; M - mezophilous; MX - mezoxerophilous), mentioning the collecting points.

  • Fauna from Leaota Mountains - Romania
    Muzeul Olteniei Craiova. Oltenia. Studii şi comunicări. Ştiinţele Naturii. Tom. 33, No. 1/2017 ISSN 1454-6914 DIVERSITY OF SOIL MITES (ACARI: MESOSTIGMATA) AND GASTROPODS (GASTROPODA) FAUNA FROM LEAOTA MOUNTAINS - ROMANIA MANU Minodora, LOTREAN Nicolae, CIOBOIU Olivia, POP Oliviu Grigore Abstract. In the period May-September 2016, the diversity of soil mites (Acari: Mesostigmata) and fauna of gastropods (Gastropoda) was investigated in Leaota Mountains. In total 44 transects were investigated, located in 13 types of habitats. Considering the mite fauna, 52 species were identified. The highest value of Shannon index was recorded in natural beech forest, in comparison with the planted spruce forest, where this parameter recorded the lowest value. From the conservative point of view, Pergamasus laetus Juvara-Bals, 1970 was identified as an endemic species for Romania. Another two rare species were signaled: Veigaia propinqua Willmann, 1936 and V. transisalae (Oudemans, 1902). Iphidosoma multiclavatum Willmann, 1953 was signaled for the first time in Romania. Taking into account the gastropod fauna (Gastropoda), 26 species were investigated. The most favorable habitats for these invertebrates were deciduous and spruce forest. One endemic species for Romania was identified: Mastus venerabilis (L. Pfeiffer, 1855). Keywords: abundance, diversity, gastropods, habitat, mites. Rezumat. Diversitatea faunei de acarieni edafici (Acari: Mesostigmata) și de gastropode (Gastropoda) din Munţii Leaota - România. În perioada mai - septembrie 2016, s-a realizat studiul diversităţii faunei de acarieni edafici (Acari: Mesostigmata) şi a gastropodelor (Gastropoda) din munţii Leaota. Au fost investigate 44 de transecte, localizate în 13 tipuri de habitate. Analizând fauna de acarieni, au fost identificate 52 de specii. Cea mai mare valoare a indicelui de diversitate Shannon s-a obţinut în pădurea naturală de fag, în comparaţie cu plantaţia de molid, unde acest parametru a scăzut semnificativ.

Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (2016) 12:47 DOI 10.1186/s13002-016-0118-7 RESEARCH Open Access Folk knowledge of invertebrates in Central Europe - folk taxonomy, nomenclature, medicinal and other uses, folklore, and nature conservation Viktor Ulicsni1* , Ingvar Svanberg2 and Zsolt Molnár3 Abstract Background: There is scarce information about European folk knowledge of wild invertebrate fauna. We have documented such folk knowledge in three regions, in Romania, Slovakia and Croatia. We provide a list of folk taxa, and discuss folk biological classification and nomenclature, salient features, uses, related proverbs and sayings, and conservation. Methods: We collected data among Hungarian-speaking people practising small-scale, traditional agriculture. We studied “all” invertebrate species (species groups) potentially occurring in the vicinity of the settlements. We used photos, held semi-structured interviews, and conducted picture sorting. Results: We documented 208 invertebrate folk taxa. Many species were known which have, to our knowledge, no economic significance. 36 % of the species were known to at least half of the informants. Knowledge reliability was high, although informants were sometimes prone to exaggeration. 93 % of folk taxa had their own individual names, and 90 % of the taxa were embedded in the folk taxonomy. Twenty four species were of direct use to humans (4 medicinal, 5 consumed, 11 as bait, 2 as playthings). Completely new was the discovery that the honey stomachs of black-coloured carpenter bees (Xylocopa violacea, X. valga)were consumed. 30 taxa were associated with a proverb or used for weather forecasting, or predicting harvests. Conscious ideas about conserving invertebrates only occurred with a few taxa, but informants would generally refrain from harming firebugs (Pyrrhocoris apterus), field crickets (Gryllus campestris) and most butterflies.

Samples from limestone areas (called Andrychów Klippes) and those from the Żurawnica massif complemented the material. The total of ca. 400 samples yielded 78 species of terrestrial snails. The malacofauna was characterised in terms of its ecological and zoogeographical composition. The material provided the basis for determining the zones of occurrence and distribution of the component taxa within the Beskid Mały range. The ecological, zoogeographical and species diversity of the assemblages made it possible to distinguish four types of fauna, each connected with certain parts of the Beskid Mały range, which differ in their geological structure, relief and the degree of anthropogenic transformations.

Its presence at the Lacu Roºu (Gyilkos-tó) area rep- resents the southeasternmost occurrence of the species. The only sample of P. lubomirski hitherto reported from Romania (leg. JICKELI in 1888 at Borsec Bai) seems to be lost from museum collections. The northern Carpathian distributional type is suggested for the species. The nomenclatural problem regarding the spelling of the specific name (i.e. lubomirskii or lubomirski) is discussed. The original, but less frequently used spelling (lubomirski) is suggested based on our understanding of the regulations of the ICZN.

Novaj; Hungary) A. Dávid Abstract: Among the Egerian Age exposures of North-east Hungary the Molluscan Clay of Wind Brickyard (Eger) and Nyárjas Hill (Novaj) contain fossils in exceptional richness. Distribution of molluscs of the Molluscan Clay of these two outcrops according to habitats and feeding habits is examined and compared. There are definite differences between the two localities. Introduction Among the several Upper-Oligocene outrops of North-Hungary the Molluscan Clay layers «f _Wind Brickyard, Eger and Nyárjas Hill, Novaj is compared (Fig.l.). These layers contain well-preserved „micro-mollusc" fossils abudantly. The bivalves, gastropods and schaphopods which were living here during the Egerian stage have belonged into the Hinia — Cadulus fossil community. It refers to similar paleoenvironments in case of both localities. The sea was deeper than 120 metres and the bottom was covered by fine-gra­ ined, clayey sediments. The aim of the investigation was to examine the distribution of the molluscs according to habitats and feeding habits in the collected materials. Methods Fifteen kilograms of clay was taken from both localities. After drying the samples were treated with hot water and peroxide of hydrogen. This material was washed out through a 0,5 nun sieve. At the end the molluscan remains were assorted from among the other fossils (e.gJ^oraminifera, Decapoda, Echinoidea, Osteichthyes).

  • Magyarország Recens Puhatestűinek Revideált Katalógusa (Mollusca)
    Fol. Hist.-nat. Mus. Matr. 9. 1984. Magyarország recens puhatestűinek revideált katalógusa (Mollusca) PINTÉR László Budapest ABSTRACT: (A revised catalogue of the recent molluscs of Hungary) — This catalo­ gue contains a revised list of recent molluscs living in Hungary, included also the in­ troduced species and the drift-fauna. Tíz évvel ezelőtt jelent meg a „Katalog der rezenten Mollusken Un­ garns" (PINTÉR, 1974) című munka. A zoológiában 10 év igen nagy idő: számtalan új eredmény született, s a régit sok esetben új szempontok és felismerések szerint értékeltük át. Ezeknek az elmúlt éveknek a magyaror­ szági recens malakofaunára vonatkozó eredményeit (mégha sokszor csak részeredmények is) tükrözi a következő összeállítás. A fajlistában csillag (*) jelzi a kizárólag melegházakban vagy botanikus kertekben élő fajokat, s kereszt ( + ) jelöli a csupán folyóhordalékból előkerült fajokat. A fajlistát megjegyzések (1—43) egészítik ki. Az irodalomjegyzék csak azokat a mű­ veket tartalmazza, melyekre a szövegben közvetlen utalás található.
