Die am weitesten verbreitete Art ist Asellus ( Asellus) aquaticus (L., 175 8); sie ist ein sibirisches Faunenelement, das sich postglazial nach Westen hin ausgebreitet hat (BrRSTEIN 1951; WILLIAMS 1962). Weitaus weniger häufig tritt die zweite Art, Proasellus coxalis (Dollfus, 1892), auf; diese im übrigen circummediterran verbreitete Art ist in Mittel europa mit der Unterart septentrionalis (Herbst, 1956) vertreten, die vermutlich erst in jüngster Zeit eingeschleppt worden ist (HERHAUS 1977). Am seltensten ist auf deutschem Boden die dritte Art, Proasellus meridianus (Racovitza, 1919). P. meridianus ist eine autochthon west europä,isch-atlantische Form (GRUNER 1965); in Deutschland wurde sie von STAMMER (1932) am linken Niederrhein nachgewiesen. Für die sichere Bestimmung der drei Arten ist die Untersuchung der Pleopoden II unter dem Binokular unerläßlich. -
A Synopsis of the Biology and Life History of Ruffe
J. Great Lakes Res. 24(2): 170-1 85 Internat. Assoc. Great Lakes Res., 1998 A Synopsis of the Biology and Life History of Ruffe Derek H. Ogle* Northland College Mathematics Department Ashland, Wisconsin 54806 ABSTRACT. The ruffe (Gymnocephalus cernuus), a Percid native to Europe and Asia, has recently been introduced in North America and new areas of Europe. A synopsis of the biology and life history of ruffe suggests a great deal of variability exists in these traits. Morphological characters vary across large geographical scales, within certain water bodies, and between sexes. Ruffe can tolerate a wide variety of conditions including fresh and brackish waters, lacustrine and lotic systems, depths of 0.25 to 85 m, montane and submontane areas, and oligotrophic to eutrophic waters. Age and size at maturity dif- fer according to temperature and levels of mortality. Ruffe spawn on a variety ofsubstrates, for extended periods of time. In some populations, individual ruffe may spawn more than once per year. Growth of ruffe is affected by sex, morphotype, water type, intraspecific density, and food supply. Ruffe feed on a wide variety of foods, although adult ruffe feed predominantly on chironomid larvae. Interactions (i.e., competition and predation) with other species appear to vary considerably between system. INDEX WORDS: Ruffe, review, taxonomy, reproduction, diet, parasite, predation. INTRODUCTION DISTRIBUTION This is a review of the existing literature on Ruffe are native to all of Europe except for along ruffe, providing a synopsis of its biology and life the Mediterranean Sea, western France, Spain, Por- history.

Isopoda, Asellota) with Some Phylogenetic Considerations Concerning Asellota
Crustaceana 48 (2) 1985, E. J. Brill, Leiden A CONTRIBUTION TO THE GENERAL MORPHOLOGY OF PROTOJANIRIDAE (ISOPODA, ASELLOTA) WITH SOME PHYLOGENETIC CONSIDERATIONS CONCERNING ASELLOTA BY B. SKET Institut za biologijo, Univerza E. Kardelja v Ljubljani, p.p. 141, YU 61001 Ljubljana, Yugoslavia Since most representatives of the superfamily Gnathostenetroidoidea have been described only for "microtaxonomical" purposes, some important features and even peculiarities of the species and probably of the entire group have been overlooked. I took advantage of possessing a good sample of the comparatively very large representative, viz., Enckella lucei major Sket, 1982 (as well as some other species of the family Protojaniridae) to demonstrate some such features. Unfortunately, of the family Gnathostenetroididae I could study only specimens of an undescribed species from the Bahamas, while comparison with other representatives was possible only through illustrations. I abstained from comparing Enckella with the numerous and diverse Janiroidea, leaving this to a more versed student of that special group. I also abstained from discussing the remarkable idea about possible Asellotan nature of Microcerberidae (WageJe, J 980) which is anyway of little importance for the present subject. Cephalothorax ("head"). — With the exception of having two pairs of antennae, the Enckella's head bears greater resemblance to a prognathous in sect head than to an Asellid. The cephalic capsula is closed to a great extent, incorporating completely the first thoracomere. The capsula is closed and slightly sclerotised also behind the insertions of the maxillipeds, uniting them with the set of other mouth appendages. The clypeolabrum protrudes for wards, its inclination downwards is much less expressed than in most other groups of Isopoda. -

The development of functional response methodology has progressed from mechanistic models to more statistically motivated models that can ac- count for variance and the over-dispersion commonly seen in the datasets col- lected from functional response experiments. However, little information seems to be available for those wishing to prepare optimal parameter estimation designs for functional response experiments. It is worth noting that optimally designed experiments may require smaller sample sizes to achieve the same statistical outcomes as non-optimally designed experiments. In this paper, we develop a model-based approach to optimal experimental design for functional response experiments in the presence of parameter uncertainty (also known as a robust -

Additional samples from artificial substrates (1992–2003) and other techniques (various periods) were analysed. The combined data provide a global and dynamic view on the Peracarida community of the River Meuse, with the focus on the Amphipoda. Among the recent exotic species found, Crangonyx pseudogracilis is regressing, Dikerogammarus haemobaphes is restricted to the Condroz course of the river, Gammarus tigrinus is restricted to the lowlands and seems to regress, Jaera istri is restricted to the ‘tidal’ Meuse, Chelicorophium curvispinum is still migrating upstream into the Lorraine course without any strong impact on the other amphipod species. -

Left and right panels correspond to data sets inferred by the GMYC method and thresh- old method, respectively. Age estimates along the X-axis are from the uncorrelated lognormal model (BEAST), whereas dating estimates along the Y-axis in the upper and lower panels are from the uncor- related exponential model (BEAST) and the correlated lognormal model (Multidivtime), respectively. Solid lines show linear regressions between age estimations for the different models, and dotted lines in- dicate 1:1 equivalence relationships.

Groundwater Ecology: Invertebrate Community Distribution Across the Benthic, Hyporheic and Phreatic Habitats of a Chalk Aquifer in Southeast England
Groundwater Ecology: Invertebrate Community Distribution across the Benthic, Hyporheic and Phreatic Habitats of a Chalk Aquifer in Southeast England Jessica M. Durkota Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University College London Declaration of the Author I, Jessica M. Durkota, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. This work was undertaken with the partial support of the Environment Agency. The views expressed in this publication are mine and mine alone and not necessarily those of the Environment Agency or University College London (UCL). 2 Abstract Groundwater is an important resource for drinking water, agriculture, and industry, but it also plays an essential role in supporting the functioning of freshwater ecosystems and providing habitat for a number of rare species. However, despite its importance, groundwater ecology often receives little attention in environmental legislation or research. This study aims to improve our understanding of the organisms living in groundwater-dependent habitats and the influence of environmental conditions on their distribution. Invertebrate communities occurring in the benthic, hyporheic and phreatic habitats were surveyed at twelve sites over four years across the Stour Chalk Block, a lowland catchment in southern England. A diverse range of stygoxenes, stygophiles and stygobionts, including the first record of Gammarus fossarum in the British Isles, were identified using morphological and molecular techniques. The results indicate that under normal conditions, each habitat provided differing environmental conditions which supported a distinctive invertebrate community.
