The fish genera Gasterosteus, Hucho, Oxynoemacheilus, Salmo, and Schizothorax are examples of these groups among vertebrates, and the genera Magnibursatus (Trematoda), Margaritifera, Potomida, Microcondylaea, Leguminaia, Unio (Mollusca), and Phagocata (Planaria), among invertebrates. There is reason to believe that their ancestors spread to Europe through the Paratethys (or the proto-Paratethys basin that preceded it), where intense speciation took place and new genera of aquatic organisms arose. Some of the forms that originated in the Paratethys colonized the Mediterranean, and overwhelming data indicate that Citation: Artamonova, V.S.; Bolotov, representatives of the genera Salmo, Caspiomyzon, and Ecrobia migrated during the Miocene from I.N.; Vinarski, M.V.; Makhrov, A.A.

It is assigned to the family Eulimidae relying on shell characters, and com- pared to species of several genera which share some morphological features with it. It is de- scribed as new and provisionally included in Chileutomia Tate et Cossmann, 1898, although with reservation, as we refrain to establish a new genus without anatomical and molecular data which can clarify the phylogenetic relationships of the new species.

For instance, the common redstart is a bird species breeding in the lowlands, whereas the black redstart is native to higher altitudes. Some species such as common swift and kestrel, which are originally adapted to enduring in rocky areas, even found a secondary habitat in the house facades and street canyons of towns and big cities. Classic rock dwellers include peregrine, eagle owl, rock­thrush, snowfinch and alpine swift. The presentation focuses on the biology, causes of threat as well as conservation measures taken by the national park concerning the species golden eagle, wallcreeper, crag martin and ptarmigan. Birds breeding in the rocks might not be that high in number, but their survival is all the more fascinating and worth protecting as such!

The Montenegrian part of the subgeneric range is relatively well explored (e.g. Wohlberedt, 1909; Sturany & Wagner, 1915; Wagner, 1897, 1906; Varga, 1998). However, there are hardly any data for Albania (e.g. Wohlberedt, 1909; Sturany & Wagner, 1915; Polinski, 1922, 1924; Welter-Schultes, 1996; Feher et al., 2001).

Molecular studies on their relationships confirmed the distinctness of this family. Their monophyly, however, remained doubtful, since the Moitessieriidae did not form a distinct clade in the phylogenetic tree based on the most commonly applied mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI), and the representative of the family Cochliopidae occupied a position among the moitessieriid clades. In the present paper two new nuclear loci, namely histone H3 gene and ribosomal internal transcribed spacer ITS2, have been applied to resolve the status of the Moitessieriidae.

Bondareva1, Natalja I. Abramson1,2 1Zoological Institute RAS, Saint-Petersburg, Russia; [email protected] 2Saint - Petersburg Scientific Center RAS, Saint-Petersburg, Russia Biological invasions may be considered as ‘‘natural experiments’’, offering unique insights into ecological and evolutionary processes occurring in real-time (Lee, 2002; Sax et al., 2007). The terrestrial snail Arianta arbustorum L., 1758 demonstrates a case of extremely successful invasion of regions in north-western Russia during a short period. According to the literature and personal observations snail numbers dramatically increased in the last 20 years and the species very rapidly extended its distribution in eastern and northeastern direction. The aim of our study was to find the source of this invasion using a section (284 bp) of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 gene CO1 as molecular marker. We tried to test several hypotheses of invasion modes: (1) independent multiple introductions of the species from its native range resulting in a genetically diverse invasive population, (2) a “step and stone” scenario with declining genetic diversity along the colonization route, (3) a ‘‘bridgehead effect’’, which means that a particularly successful invasive population with small genetic diversity is the source for extensive secondary invasions in other regions.
