Thus, NOBIS Austria as the host society of the second joint meeting is proud to welcome members and representa- tives of the Gesellschaft für Biologische Systematik (DE), the Société Française de Systé- matique (FRA), the Systematics Association (GB), the Swiss Systematics Society (CH) and the Svenska Systematikföreningen (SE). The motto of the 2nd BioSyst.EU 2013 meeting in Vienna, however, is “Global systematics!” – clearly insinuating a global perspective not only in science but also in respect to scientists. Therefore, we are very happy that more than 420 participants from 36 countries, including representatives from all continents, document the enormous interest of the scientific community in systematics. A strong group of convenors came up with more than 20 symposia and workshops with 381 oral and poster presentations. We even managed to cross the border between life- and earth- sciences as geological deep time considerations are frequently found in the abstracts. Conse- quently, our meeting covers a very broad range of themes and topics ranging from protists to metazoans, and from the Cambrian to the Recent. We are looking forward to four days of intensive and stimulating discussions, controversies and new insights. On behalf of the organising committee we wish you all a pleasant and fruit- ful stay in Vienna.

How to assign species status to cryptic lineages: the case of Troglodrius galarzai (Annelida, Clitellata, Tubificinae) [Talk] Ainara Achurra Dpt. Zoology and Animal Cell Biology, University of The Basque Country UPV/EHU; [email protected] Pilar Rodriguez Dpt. Zoology and Animal Cell Biology, University of The Basque Country UPV/EHU; [email protected] Cryptic species based on molecular evidence are accumulating in the literature, becoming a problem in taxonomy and affecting all fields of biologye.g. applied ecology and conservation. The main reason may be that resolving the incongruence between morphology and DNA data is not attempted in most cases. Here, we show how a detailed re-evaluation of the morphological characters supported the recognition of two cryptic lineages as species. Troglodrilus galarzai (Giani and Rodriguez, 1988) is a groundwater limited oligochaete species from south-western Europe. Mitochondrial gene data revealed a maximum genetic distance of 18 % (p) in the species, which led to consider it as cryptic. In the light of the molecular results, we evaluated 23 morphological characters and compared the ranges of the trait values across populations. For this purpose, we calculated the coefficient of difference by Mayr (CD), which evaluates the overlap- ping of characters between populations. Higher CD values correspond to lower overlap in trait values. A character was considered to be diagnostic if it showed no overlap in trait values. We applied the statisti- cal method by Wiens and Servedio to estimate whether or not we had examined sufficient individuals to delimit a species by one or more diagnostic traits. The test was applied only to characters that showed no correlation. Results separated two metapopulations based on five diagnostic characters and showed that the total number of analysed specimens was high enough (>15) to assume fixation of the five diagnostic characters. Therefore, a new species was proposed for the French metapopulation, Troglodrilus jugeti Achurra et al., 2012, while T. galarzai was retained for the Iberian metapopulation. The recognition of two Troglodrilus species has direct consequences on regional conservation plans of groundwaters since both species show a narrow endemism and in addition, groundwater-limited taxa are vulnerable to envi- ronmental oscillations due to their high specialization for the subterranean medium. ——————————————————————— Cell morphology and SSrRNA data contradict the lorica-based classification of tintinnid ciliates (Protista, Ciliophora) [Talk] Sabine Agatha Dept. Organismic Biology, University of Salzburg, Salzburg, Austria; [email protected] Michaela C. Strüder-Kypke Dept. Molecular and Cellular Biology, University of Guelph, Guelph, Canada; [email protected] Tintinnids are mainly marine planktonic ciliates. They form vase-shaped or tube-shaped loricae (houses), which might be hyaline or agglomerated with biogenic and abiogenic particles on the whole surface or only the posterior portion. The classification of the about 1,000 extant tintinnid species is entirely based on lorica features, although they are known to vary with environmental conditions and the cell

    The Beetle Fauna of Dominica, Lesser Antilles (Insecta: Coleoptera): Diversity and Distribution

    INSECTA MUNDI, Vol. 20, No. 3-4, September-December, 2006 165 The beetle fauna of Dominica, Lesser Antilles (Insecta: Coleoptera): Diversity and distribution Stewart B. Peck Department of Biology, Carleton University, 1125 Colonel By Drive, Ottawa, Ontario K1S 5B6, Canada stewart_peck@carleton. ca Abstract. The beetle fauna of the island of Dominica is summarized. It is presently known to contain 269 genera, and 361 species (in 42 families), of which 347 are named at a species level. Of these, 62 species are endemic to the island. The other naturally occurring species number 262, and another 23 species are of such wide distribution that they have probably been accidentally introduced and distributed, at least in part, by human activities. Undoubtedly, the actual numbers of species on Dominica are many times higher than now reported. This highlights the poor level of knowledge of the beetles of Dominica and the Lesser Antilles in general. Of the species known to occur elsewhere, the largest numbers are shared with neighboring Guadeloupe (201), and then with South America (126), Puerto Rico (113), Cuba (107), and Mexico-Central America (108). The Antillean island chain probably represents the main avenue of natural overwater dispersal via intermediate stepping-stone islands. The distributional patterns of the species shared with Dominica and elsewhere in the Caribbean suggest stages in a dynamic taxon cycle of species origin, range expansion, distribution contraction, and re-speciation.

    POLSKA AKADEMIA NAUK INSTYTUT ZOOLOGII ANNALES ZOOLOGICI Tom 37 Warszawa, 20 X 1983 Nr 3 A n d rzej W ik t o r The slugs of Bulgaria (A rionidae , M ilacidae, Limacidae, Agriolimacidae — G astropoda , Stylommatophora) [With 118 text-figures and 31 maps] Abstract. All previously known Bulgarian slugs from the Arionidae, Milacidae, Limacidae and Agriolimacidae families have been discussed in this paper. It is based on many years of individual field research, examination of all accessible private and museum collections as well as on critical analysis of the published data. The taxa from families to species are sup­ plied with synonymy, descriptions of external morphology, anatomy, bionomics, distribution and all records from Bulgaria. It also includes the original key to all species. The illustrative material comprises 118 drawings, including 116 made by the author, and maps of localities on UTM grid. The occurrence of 37 slug species was ascertained, including 1 species (Tandonia pirinia- na) which is quite new for scientists. The occurrence of other 4 species known from publications could not bo established. Basing on the variety of slug fauna two zoogeographical limits were indicated. One separating the Stara Pianina Mountains from south-western massifs (Pirin, Rila, Rodopi, Vitosha. Mountains), the other running across the range of Stara Pianina in the^area of Shipka pass. INTRODUCTION Like other Balkan countries, Bulgaria is an area of Palearctic especially interesting in respect to malacofauna. So far little investigation has been carried out on molluscs of that country and very few papers on slugs (mostly contributions) were published. The papers by B a b o r (1898) and J u r in ić (1906) are the oldest ones.

Abstract Ghost shrimps of Callianassidae and Ctenochelidae are soft-bodied, usually heterochelous decapods representing major bioturbators of muddy and sandy (sub)marine substrates. Ghost shrimps have a robust fossil record spanning from the Early Cretaceous (~ 133 Ma) to the Holocene and their remains are present in most assemblages of Cenozoic decapod crustaceans. Their taxonomic interpretation is in flux, mainly because the generic assignment is hindered by their insufficient preservation and disagreement in the biological classification. Fur- thermore, numerous taxa are incorrectly classified within the catch-all taxonCallianassa . To show the historical patterns in describing fos- sil ghost shrimps and to evaluate taphonomic aspects influencing the attribution of ghost shrimp remains to higher level taxa, a database of all fossil species treated at some time as belonging to the group has been compiled: 250 / 274 species are considered valid ghost shrimp taxa herein.
