CONFERENCIAS Y SIMPOSIOS Conferencia Inaugural El tiempo no espera a nadie. Ritmos y relojes biológicos. Dr. Diego Andrés Golombek, Profesor Titular, Universidad Nacional de Quilmes. Investigador Superior, CONICET. Todos los organismos presentan variaciones periódicas en su fisiología y comportamiento, que se organizan alrededor de frecuencias particulares que van desde los microsegundos a los años. Dentro de estas variaciones se destacan los ritmos circadianos (con período cercano a las 24 h) y la llamada temporización de intervalos (de segundos a minutos). Estos ritmos biológicos responden a relojes endógenos, no del todo caracterizados para el “interval timing”, pero muy conocidos para los ritmos circadianos. En mamíferos, el reloj principal se encuentra en los núcleos supraquiasmáticos del hipotálamo, que a su vez se sincronizan por señales ambientales, de las cuales la principal es el ciclo de luz-oscuridad. En esta presentación se describirán avances recientes en los mecanismos de dicho reloj, su sincronización y su relevancia para variables metabólicas en modelos animales. Simposio 1: Desarrollo de vacunas e inmunidad Leish-Tec vacuna recombinante contra la leishmaniasis visceral canina. Dra. Ana Paula Fernandes. Vaccine Technology Center (CTVacinas) of the Federal University of Minas Gerais, at the Technology Park of Belo Horizonte, Brazil. [email protected] Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a severe vector-borne disease of humans and dogs caused by Leishmania parasites. Approximately 0.2 to 0.4 million new human VL cases occur annually worldwide, while the disease occurrence is spreading to regions where it was not previously reported. These alarming figures are primarily due to the impracticality of current control methods based on vector reduction and dog culling and limited diagnostic tools. Thus, efficient prophylactic vaccines and highly sensitive and specific diagnostic tools appear to be essential for VL control and badly needed. The current efforts and challenges to develop an efficacious vaccine and more accurate diagnostic

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Milnesium swansoni sp. nov. is a new species of Eutardigrada described from the tree canopy in eastern Kansas, USA. This species within the order Apochela, family Milnesiidae, genus Milnesium is distinguished by its smooth cuticle, nar- row buccal tube, four peribuccal lamellae, primary claws without accessory points, and a secondary claw configuration of [3-3]-[3-3]. The buccal tube appears to be only half the width of the nominal species Milnesium tardigradum for animals of similar body length. The species adds to the available data for the phylum, and raises questions concerning species dis- tribution. Key words: Four peribuccal lamellae, Thorpe morphometry, Tardigrada, Canopy diversity Introduction Milnesium Doyère, 1840 is a genus of predatory limno-terrestrial tardigrades within the Order Apochela and the Family Milnesiidae with unique morphological characteristics (Guil 2008). The genus is distinct within the phylum Tardigrada for lacking placoids, but having peribuccal papillae, lateral papillae, peribuccal lamellae, a wide buccal tube, and separated double claws (Kinchin 1994).

  • A Checklist of Norwegian Tardigrada
    Fauna norvegica 2017 Vol. 37: 25-42. A checklist of Norwegian Tardigrada Terje Meier1 Meier T. 2017. A checklist of Norwegian Tardigrada. Fauna norvegica 37: 25-42. Animals of the phylum Tardigrada are microscopical metazoans that seldom exceed 1 mm in length. They are recorded from terrestrial, limnic and marine habitats and they have a distribution from Arctic to Antarctica. Tardigrades are also named ‘water bears’ referring to their ‘walk’ that resembles a bear’s gait. Knowledge of Norwegian tardigrades is fragmented and distributed across numerous sources. Here this information is gathered and validity of some records is discussed. In total 146 different species are recorded from the Norwegian mainland and Svalbard. Among these, 121 species and subspecies are recorded in previous publications and another 25 species are recorded from Norway for the first time. doi: 10.5324/fn.v37i0.2269. Received: 2017-05-22.

Dezember 2011 ISSN 0044-5223 Bergtrollus dzimbowski gen. n., sp. n., a remarkable new tardigrade genus and species from the nival zone of the Lyngen Alps, Norway (Tardigrada: Milnesiidae) HIERONYMUS DASTYCH (with 51 gures) Abstract Bergtrollus dzimbowski gen. n., sp. n., a new genus and species of Tardigrada (the Milnesiidae) from moss in the nival zone of the Lyngen Alps (Norway), is described. This is the second milnesiid genus, apart from Milnesium Doyère, 1840, known to oc- cur in the Northern Hemisphere. The new tardigrade is characterized by a strikingly long and protrusible proboscis (‘snout’) formed by the prolonged mouth region. A simi- lar organ in Eutardigrada has also been reported in Milnesioides exsertum Claxton, 1999 and in the recently discovered Limmenius porcellus Horning et al., 1978 (see Claxton 1999) (both Milnesiidae). These species are known from limited records in New Zealand and Australia. The shape and length of the buccal tube in Bergtrollus gen. n. is intermediate between those of Milnesioides and Limmenius, but the mouth cavity is similar to Milnesium. Diagnostic morphological characters and identi cation key for all four genera of the Milnesiidae are presented and the phylogenetic status of the new taxon within the family is discussed.

TUMANOV Laboratory of Freshwater and Experimental Hydrobiology, Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg, 199034, Russia; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract An illustrated description of five new tardigrade species belonging to genus Milnesium is given. The new species differ from all known species of this genus mainly by the proportions of the claws and bucco-pharyngeal apparatus. A new key to the determination of recent species of the genus Milnesium is presented. Key words: Tardigrada, Milnesium antarcticum sp. nov., Milnesium almatyense sp. nov., Milnesium asiaticum sp. nov., Milnesium reductum sp. nov., Milnesium longiungue sp. nov., Antarctica, Himalaya, Tien-Shan Introduction For a long time the genus Milnesium was considered as monotypic with a single valid cosmopolitan species Milnesium tardigradum Doyére, 1840. Later some new characters (proportions of claws and buccal tube, claw structure, cuticular sculpture) were taken into consideration (Maucci 1988(1991), Binda & Pilato 1990, Pilato & Binda 1991, Pilato et al. 2002) and it led to the description of several new species. Today the genus Milnesium consists of 7 recent species, 2 recent subspecies and one extinct species. Among them, only Milnesium tardigradum is widely distributed (traditionally considered to be cosmopolitan, but now reports of this species should be revised) while other species are known from restricted areas (Milnesium brachyungue Binda & Pilato, 1990—Chile, M. eurystomum Maucci, 1988(1991)—Greenland, M.

The new tardigrade is characterized by a strikingly long and protrusible proboscis (‘snout’) formed by the prolonged mouth region. A simi- lar organ in Eutardigrada has also been reported in Milnesioides exsertum Claxton, 1999 and in the recently discovered Limmenius porcellus Horning et al., 1978 (see Claxton 1999) (both Milnesiidae). These species are known from limited records in New Zealand and Australia. The shape and length of the buccal tube in Bergtrollus gen. n. is intermediate between those of Milnesioides and Limmenius, but the mouth cavity is similar to Milnesium. Diagnostic morphological characters and identi cation key for all four genera of the Milnesiidae are presented and the phylogenetic status of the new taxon within the family is discussed.

Mickiewicz University, Poznań, Poland Abstract This work contributes to the knowledge on distribution, diversity and ecology of the Antarctic soil biota. Different soil habitats from several ice-free coastal sites were sampled along the Victoria Land across 7° of latitude from 71° to 78°S during five austral summer seasons between 2003/04 and 2011/12. In this paper we report preliminary data on soil tardigrades (water bears) from Edmondson Point, Northern Victoria Land. Tardigrades were found to be present in 23 of the 41 examined soil samples (56%). Their presence was associated exclusively with soil samples collected from bryophytes communities and under cyanobacterial mats, whereas they were completely absent in fellfield and ornithogenic soils. Tardigrades were least numerous among all soil micrometazoans, their abundance in the positive samples was very variable and ranged from 3 to 1824 individuals per 100 g of soil DW.
