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).

  • 4. Chemical and Ecological Quality of Water
    4. Chemical and ecological quality of water 4.1. Rivers and lakes The assessment of the ecological status of water bodies in the category of rivers within the Venta RBD in Lithuanian part demonstrated that there are 14 water bodies (WB) at high ecological status and 27 WB - at good ecological status. The largest numbers of water bodies – 46 in the Venta RBD of Lithuanian part are at moderate ecological status as well as there is 1 water body at poor ecological status (Fig. 4.1.1). Analogous data for Latvia are showing 3 WB at high ecological status, 33 – at good ecological status, 16 – at moderate status as well as 1 at poor and 2 at bad ecological status. Rivers incompatible with at least good ecological quality status are mostly characterized by high nutrient concentrations in the water (Ntot, Ptot). For example, in Latvian part two river WB (V004 Ālande and V060 Zana) are even at bad environmental quality status due to high Ptot concentration in the first case and due to elevated Ntot concentration in the second case. Figure 4.1.1. Ecological quality status of river WB in the Venta RBD, number. Relative proportion of river WB at different quality grades in both countries is shown in the Figure 4.1.2. Lithuania has more WB at high ecological status than Latvia - 4 water bodies at high ecological status are situated in the Bartuva sub-basin, 10 – in the Venta sub-basin. Nevertheless, Lithuania has much more WB characterized as of moderate status. With respect to heavily modified water bodies (HMWB) in the category of rivers 6 Lithuanian WB meet the requirements for maximum ecological potential and the same number - for good ecological potential (Fig.

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.

Balashov, I., Yarotskaya, M., Filatova, J., Starichenko, I., Kovalov, V. — 26 species of terrestrial molluscs were found in the studied area, including the rare and globally threatened Vertigo moulinsiana that is listed in “Habitats Directive” of the EU and in numerous red lists. Until now it was known in Ukraine only by one population in the Crimea that became extinct in 2014. Its conservation status, taking threats into account, is considered to be “Critically Endangered” on the national level in Ukraine. Th e characteristics of the phytocenoses to which it is restricted and the associated molluscan faunas are discussed. Key words: Mollusca, Gastropoda, Stylommatophora, fens, conservation. Introduction Several species of terrestrial molluscs that inhabit European fens are considered to be of high conserva- tion priority. First of all, it refers to the 4 species of the genus Vertigo listed in Annex II of European Unionʹs “Habitats Directive” and numerous red lists: V.moulinsiana (Dupuy, 1849), V.

In each location, eight random 0.25 m2 plots were quantitatively sampled from a 400 m² core area that was searched for additional species. A total of 54 species were found, composed of 46 terrestrial snails and slugs, six freshwater gastropod and two clam species. Abundances ranged from 220 to 4,400 ind.m–2 per location, with a maximum of 2,200 individuals per plot. The number of taxa ranged from 17 to 34 per location and from 3 to 23 per plot. A. biplicata occurred in each randomly sampled plot. The highest number of co-occurrences with Alinda was found for Carychium tridentatum and Nesovitrea hammonis. Additionally, forest-specific, wetland-specific and even dry habitat-specific snails can use the same patch of microhabitat. The lack of narrow ecological specialisation in A.
