It was found in two sites in the Masurian Lake District in the years 1998-1999. Key words:Neuropteroidea, Megaloptera , Sialis morio, Poland. Author's address: Museum and Institute of Zoology, PAS, Wilcza 64, 00-679 Warszawa, POLAND The Megaloptera is a small order of insects of the superorder Neuropteroi dea whose larval development occurs in an aquatic habitat. In Europe, this taxon is represented by 10 species of the genus Sialis L a t r . , the family Siali dae (A s p ó c k et al. 1980, V s h iv k o v a 1985, 1987). However, according to A s p ó c k (1992) and A s p ó c k and H o l z e l (1994), this genus should be revised, for some of the recently described species may be synonyms of others. The species considered unquestionable by these authors include Sialis lutaria L., S. morio K l i n g s t . , S. sordida K l i n g s t . , S. fuliginosa PICT., S. rtigripes PICT, and S. sibirica M c L a c h l . Three of these have been recorded from Poland, namely S. -

The most common species is S. !utaria, which lives in stagnant waters and slow flowing watercourses. S. fuliginosa is less common since it mainly occurs in moderately fast running forest streams. S. nigripes is the rarest species, because it is restricted to large rivers such as the river Meuse, the river Ourthe and the river Ambl<!ve. No additional species are expected in Belgium. Keywords: Belgium; checklist; Sialis. Samenvatting In Belgie komen drie soorten elzenvliegen (Megaloptera) voor: Sialis fuliginosa Pictet, 1836, Sialis lutaria (Linnaeus, 1758) en Sialis nigripes Pictet, 1865. De algemeenste soort is S. lutaria, die voorkomt in stilstaande wateren en traagstromende waterlopen. S. fuliginosa is minder algemeen omdat de soort vooral voorkomt in matig snel stromende bosbeken. S. nigripes is de zeldzaamste soort omdat deze soort enkel voorkomt in grate rivieren zoals de Maas, de Ourthe en de Ambleve. Er warden geen bijkomende soorten verwacht in Belgie. Resume Trois especes de megalopteres (Megaloptera) sont presentes en Belgique: Sialis fuliginosa Pictet, 1836, Sialis lutaria (Linnaeus, 1758) et Sialis nigripes Pictet, 1865. L'espece la plus commune est S. lutaria, elle vit dans les eaux stagnantes et les cours d 'eau lents. S. fuliginosa est mains commune parce que cette espece prefere les ruisselets a eaux courantes dans les forets. -
Water Quality, Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning in Ponds Across an Urban Land-Use Gradient in Birmingham, U.K
Water quality, biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in ponds across an urban land-use gradient in Birmingham, U.K. Ian Adam George Thornhill A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences College of Life and Environmental Sciences University of Birmingham December 2012 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Abstract The ecology of ponds is threatened by urbanisation and as cities expand pond habitats are disappearing at an alarming rate. Pond communities are structured by local (water quality, physical) and regional (land-use, connectivity) processes. Since ca1904 >80% of ponds in Birmingham, U.K., have been lost due to land-use intensification, resulting in an increasingly diffuse network. A survey of thirty urban ponds revealed high spatial and temporal variability in water quality, which frequently failed environmental standards. Most were eutrophic, although macrophyte-rich, well connected ponds supported macroinvertebrate assemblages of high conservation value. Statistically, local physical variables (e.g. shading) explained more variation, both in water quality and macroinvertebrate community composition than regional factors. -

Comparative Morphology of the Larval Eyes of Neuropteroidea
Recent Research in Neuropterology. - Gepp J., H. Aspöck & H. Hölzel ed., 1986, Graz. Comparative Morphology of the Larval Eyes of Neuropteroidea By Hannes F. PAULUS, Freiburg Institut für Biologie I (Zoologie) der Universität Freiburg Larvae of holometabolan insects have lateral lenses called lateral ocelli or stemmata. This eye type is constructed in very different ways, some of them resemble in their morphology the lateral eyes of the Myriapoda, especially those of the beetles (PAULUS 1979). Because of this similarity most of the earlier authors (HESSE 1901, DEMOLL 1917, WEBER 1933) considered the stemmata as derived from the lateral eyes of the myriapodan ancestors of insects. But PAULUS (1979) could demonstrate that these stemmata are modified ómmatidia of a formerly large facetted eye found today in the adult stage. Such an insect ommatidium as a part of a facetted eye can be found in all hemimetabolan insects and even in the Entognatha (Collembola) (PAULUS 1975). It consists of a cuticular lens, the cornea, a eucon crystalline cone consisting of four parts (semper cells), two primary pigment cells, and eight retinula cells forming a monaxonal unilayered rhabdom. This type of ommatidium is an old derivation of the precursors of the Mandibulata because it is found even in primitive Crustacea and has there identical cell numbers. In the following chapter I want first to give a comparative consideration of the known larval eyes of Holometabola to give a better understanding of the neuropteroidean larval eyes. Moreover I want to demonstrate that the hypothesis is suitable which says that the stemmata have derived from the typical insect ommatidia. -
Phylogeny of the Family Sialidae (Insecta: Megaloptera) Inferred from Morphological Data, with Implications for Generic Classification and Historical Biogeography
Cladistics Cladistics (2014) 1–32 10.1111/cla.12071 Phylogeny of the family Sialidae (Insecta: Megaloptera) inferred from morphological data, with implications for generic classification and historical biogeography Xingyue Liua,*, Fumio Hayashib and Ding Yanga,* aDepartment of Entomology, China Agricultural University, Beijing, 100193, China; bDepartment of Biology, Tokyo Metropolitan University, Minamiosawa 1–1, Hachioji, Tokyo, 192–0397, Japan Accepted 6 January 2014 Abstract Sialidae (alderflies) is a family of the holometabolous insect order Megaloptera, with ca. 75 extant species in eight genera dis- tributed worldwide. Alderflies are a group of “living fossils” with a long evolutionary history. The oldest fossil attributed to Sialidae dates back to the Early Jurassic period. Further, the global distribution of modern-day species shows a remarkably dis- junctive pattern. However, due to the rareness of most species and scarcity of comprehensive taxonomic revisions, the phylogeny of Sialidae remains largely unexplored, and the present classification system is in great need of renewal. Here we reconstruct the first phylogeny for Sialidae worldwide based on the most comprehensive sampling and broadest morphological data ever pre- sented for this group of insects. All Cenozoic alderflies belong to a monophyletic clade, which may also include the Early Juras- sic genus †Dobbertinia, and the Late Jurassic genus †Sharasialis is their putative sister taxon. Two subfamilies of Sialidae are proposed, namely †Sharasialinae subfam. nov. and Sialidinae. Austrosialis is the sister of all other extant genera, an assemblage which comprises three monophyletic lineages: the Stenosialis lineage, the Ilyobius lineage, and the Sialis lineage. The revised clas- sification of Sialidae is composed of 12 valid genera and 87 valid species. -

While differences in environmental parameters and granulometric composition between LM and MF were statistically non-significant (p > 0.05), organic matter content was significantly higher (p < 0.05) in LM. Average macrozoobenthos density and biomass in LM (mean 431 ind.mÀ2 and 6.78 g.mÀ2) was usually significantly higher (p > 0.05) than MF (371 ind.mÀ2 and 3.17 g.mÀ2). A similar trend was observed for zoobenthos diversity, with LM having a higher diversity (76 taxa) than MF (47 taxa).
