During time of deposition (early Late Pleis- tocene, late Khazarian regional substage), the area was situated in shallow water of the greatly expanded Caspian Sea. The fauna contains 24 species, of which 16 are endemic to the Pontocaspian region and 15 to the Caspian Sea.

    Malak. Abh. 23: 3–26 3 Kommentierte Artenliste der Süßwassermollusken Deutschlands PETER GLÖER 1 & MICHAEL L. ZETTLER 2 1 Schulstrasse 3, D-25491 Hetlingen, Germany; [email protected] 2 Institut für Ostseeforschung Warnemünde, Seestr. 15, D-18119 Rostock, Germany; [email protected] Abstract. An annotated check-list of the freshwater molluscs of Germany. – By considering the international code of zoological nomenclature, a critical annotated check-list for the freshwater molluscs of Germany is introduced, considering the currently used check-lists of GLÖER & MEIER- BROOK (1998), FALKNER et al. (2001), GLÖER (2002) und GLÖER & MEIER-BROOK (2003). As a basis of this list we used the CLECOM list (FALKNER & al. 2001), and the 1st update of the CLECOM list (BANK et al. 2001). In total 66 taxa are discussed or annotated. Meanwhile 15 taxa where deleted, because we do not think that these are distinct species or subspecies. This concerns particularly the subspecies of the Unionidae, which are not to be determinated seriously without the knowledge of the sampling site. In 5 taxa we changed the names given in the CLECOM list by established names, these are: Bithynia transsilvanica = B. troschelii, Anisus septemgyratus = A. leucostoma, A. calculiformis = A. septemgyratus, Ferrissia clessiniana = F. wautieri, Mytilopsis leucophaeata = Congeria leucophaeata. Finally we gave two subspecies the rank of species: Pisidum ponderosum and Pisidium crassum. Kurzfassung. Unter Beachtung der internationalen Regeln für die zoologische Nomenklatur, wird auf der Basis der derzeit verwendeten systematischen Listen von GLÖER & MEIER-BROOK (1998), FALKNER et al. (2001), GLÖER (2002) und GLÖER & MEIER-BROOK (2003) eine kritische, kommentierte Artenliste für die Süßwassermollusken in Deutschland vorgestellt.

It includes 39 species from 170 species found in Latvia. The category 0 has no species, there is 1 species in the first category, 6 species in the second category, 25 species in the third category, and 7 species in the fourth category. Evaluation criteria similar to these in the previously published Red Books have been used. Information on 64 species included in the IUCN LC category is also collected. There is no need for special protection measures for these species; however, the dynamics of their populations should be monitored. Key words: Latvia, mollusc species, protection status.

  • Liste De Référence Annotée Des Mollusques D'alsace (France) Annotated Checklist of the Continental Molluscs from Alsace (France)
    MalaCo (2013) 9, 498-534 Liste de référence annotée des mollusques d'Alsace (France) Annotated checklist of the continental molluscs from Alsace (France) 1 2 Jean-Michel BICHAIN & STEPHANE ORIO 1 7 chemin du Moenchberg, 68140 Munster 2 1 rue du fossé, 67520 Marlenheim Correspondance : [email protected] Résumé – Le catalogue des mollusques d'Alsace de Devidts (1979) a été ici réactualisé en suivant le référentiel taxonomique proposé par Gargominy et al. (2011) et par ajout des données de la littérature, naturalistes et muséographiques. Alors que Devidts citait 155 taxons terminaux et 22 incertains pour la région, la présente mise à jour fait état de 206 taxons terminaux dont 138 terrestres et 68 aquatiques. Plus de 50 % de ces nouveautés proviennent des inventaires menés entre 1988 et 1998 par F. Geissert. Parmi cette faune alsacienne, qui compte presqu'un tiers du nombre total de taxons de France, 47 sont des endémiques européens dont deux micro- endémiques (Belgrandia gfrast Haase, 2000 et Trochulus clandestinus putonii (Clessin, 1874)). Par ailleurs, cinq espèces sont présentes en France uniquement en Alsace, alors que trois autres ne sont présentes que dans le grand est. Cinq espèces sont considérées comme disparues de la région, leur présence n'ayant pas été confirmée depuis plus d'un siècle pour la plupart d’entre elles. Alors que l'endémisme régional est très faible, la richesse spécifique de cette malacofaune s'explique cependant par la diversité des habitats en Alsace et par sa position de carrefour biogéographique entre les domaines atlantique, continental et boréo-alpin. Mots-clefs – Alsace, France, liste de référence, mollusques continentaux.

Specifically, through the dedication of Greg Zimmerman, Heidi Dunn, Andy Roberts, and many others in the Society, coupled with the expertise and of hard work of Sophie Binder with Sophie Binder Designs, we have unveiled our new Society web site and presence at http://www.molluskconservation.org. I encourage every member to visit the site and look around at what we have to offer. There is information there for people wishing to learn more about mollusks, as well as a new members-only section that with time will allow you to pay dues, register for meetings, access newsletters, update your contact information and submit a manuscript for publication in the Society Journal, among others.

Online serial at <http://mollusca.sav.sk> 29-April-2009. This paper summarises all known data about the occurrence and distribution of Bithynia leachii (Sheppard, 1823) and Bithynia troschelii (Paasch, 1842) in the Czech Republic. Both species were already recorded from the Czech Republic in the past, but they were not distinguished. Autochthonous occurrence of both species is restricted to South Moravia; in the floodplains along the Morava River and the Dyje River where both species are very rare. Bithynia troschelii was also found in other sites situated in Bohemia and northern Moravia but these occurrences are not indigenous.

  • Reproductive Biology and Life History Strategy of Bithynia Tentaculata (Linnaeus, 1758) and Bithynia Leachii (Sheppard, 1823)
    Reproductive Biology and Life History Strategy of Bithynia tentaculata (Linnaeus, 1758) and Bithynia leachii (Sheppard, 1823) Vom Fachbereich Biologie der Universität Hannover zur Erlangung des Grades Doktor der Naturwissenschaften Dr. rer. nat. genehmigte Dissertation von Diplom-Biologe Torsten Richter geboren am 19. 10. 1966 in Hannover 2001 Referent: Prof. Dr. K. Wächtler Korreferent: Prof. Dr. H. Brendelberger Tag der Promotion: 16. 2. 2001 Abstract: I studied the life histories of 6 populations of the iteroparous prosobranch snail B. tentaculata and 1 sympatric population of B. leachii for 3 years. Males and females out of 4 populations were kept in cages in the field during their entire lifespan. Data were collected on the principal life history traits. Reproductive traits studied were egg size and - number, spawn size and - number, oviposition site choice, hatching success of eggs and sex ratio of offspring, and the temporal aspects of reproduction. Differences were apparent for all examined traits and at 3 different levels: between species, between populations and also within populations. Additionally, I found several trade-offs between conflicting reproductive demands that differed in their outcome between species and populations. Species level: Compared to B. leachii, B. tentaculata shows some differences in the overall growth pattern, is larger at maturity, attains a larger body size and shows only a slight sexual dimorphism, if any. The females lay fewer but larger spawns containing large eggs. They have a potential longer life span, but are more susceptible to parasitation by trematode larva. In direct comparison of the sympatric populations, B. leachii laid more eggs per reproducing female that had also a higher hatchability.
