Posters 339 INDEX OF AUTHORS 342 6 1st Meeting of the Iberian Ecological Society & XIV AEET Meeting February, 4-7 2019, Barcelona, Spain WELCOME We welcome everyone to Barcelona, the venue of the joint meeting of the Sociedad Ibérica de Ecología (1st SIBECOL) and the Asociación Española de Ecología Terrestre (XIV AEET) in 2019. The meeting is also supported by the Asociación Ibérica de Limnologia (AIL), the Sociedad Española de Etología y Ecología Evolutiva (SEEEE), the Sociedade Portuguesa de Ecologia (SPECO), and the group of Iberian Marine Ecologists. This conference is special since it will host scientists who study different types of ecological systems but who rarely meet together to share conceptual ecological frameworks. A new ecological society (SIBECOL) was established in July 2018 to bring together this scientific collective, while maintaining the identity of the existing societies that will progressively converge in their activities. This meeting will be the first action of the new society, its foundation conference. AEET is proud to contribute to the event, merging its regular meeting with 1st SIBECOL for this historic event. The aim of the conference is to highlight crosscutting concepts shared by the different branches of ecology (limnology, marine ecology, terrestrial ecology, theoretical ecology), regardless of the system addressed. We seek to exchange ideas and approaches, and

  • Toward a DNA Taxonomy of Alpine Rhithrogena (Ephemeroptera: Heptageniidae) Using a Mixed Yule- Coalescent Analysis of Mitochondrial and Nuclear DNA
    Toward a DNA Taxonomy of Alpine Rhithrogena (Ephemeroptera: Heptageniidae) Using a Mixed Yule- Coalescent Analysis of Mitochondrial and Nuclear DNA Laurent Vuataz1,2*, Michel Sartori1, Andre´ Wagner1, Michael T. Monaghan3 1 Muse´e Cantonal de Zoologie, Lausanne, Switzerland, 2 Department of Ecology and Evolution, University of Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland, 3 Leibniz-Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries (IGB), Berlin, Germany Abstract Aquatic larvae of many Rhithrogena mayflies (Ephemeroptera) inhabit sensitive Alpine environments. A number of species are on the IUCN Red List and many recognized species have restricted distributions and are of conservation interest. Despite their ecological and conservation importance, ambiguous morphological differences among closely related species suggest that the current taxonomy may not accurately reflect the evolutionary diversity of the group. Here we examined the species status of nearly 50% of European Rhithrogena diversity using a widespread sampling scheme of Alpine species that included 22 type localities, general mixed Yule-coalescent (GMYC) model analysis of one standard mtDNA marker and one newly developed nDNA marker, and morphological identification where possible. Using sequences from 533 individuals from 144 sampling localities, we observed significant clustering of the mitochondrial (cox1) marker into 31 GMYC species. Twenty-one of these could be identified based on the presence of topotypes (expertly identified specimens from the species’ type locality) or unambiguous morphology. These results strongly suggest the presence of both cryptic diversity and taxonomic oversplitting in Rhithrogena. Significant clustering was not detected with protein-coding nuclear PEPCK, although nine GMYC species were congruent with well supported terminal clusters of nDNA. Lack of greater congruence in the two data sets may be the result of incomplete sorting of ancestral polymorphism.

  • Classic Versus Metabarcoding Approaches for the Diet Study of a Remote Island Endemic Gecko

ABSTRACT Dietary studies can reveal valuable information on how species exploit their habitats and are of particular importance for insular endemics conservation as these species present higher risk of extinction. Reptiles are often neglected in island systems, principally the ones inhabiting remote areas, therefore little is known on their ecological networks. The Selvagens gecko Tarentola (boettgeri) bischoffi, endemic to the remote and integral reserve of Selvagens Archipelago, is classified as Vulnerable by the Portuguese Red Data Book. Little is known about this gecko's ecology and dietary habits, but it is assumed to be exclusively insectivorous. The diet of the continental Tarentola species was already studied using classical methods. Only two studies have used next-generation sequencing (NGS) techniques for this genus thus far, and very few NGS studies have been employed for reptiles in general. Considering the lack of information on its diet Submitted 10 April 2019 and the conservation interest of the Selvagens gecko, we used morphological and Accepted 22 October 2019 Published 2 January 2020 DNA metabarcoding approaches to characterize its diet.

  • Checklist of Amphibians and Reptiles of Morocco: a Taxonomic Update and Standard Arabic Names
    Herpetology Notes, volume 14: 1-14 (2021) (published online on 08 January 2021) Checklist of amphibians and reptiles of Morocco: A taxonomic update and standard Arabic names Abdellah Bouazza1,*, El Hassan El Mouden2, and Abdeslam Rihane3,4 Abstract. Morocco has one of the highest levels of biodiversity and endemism in the Western Palaearctic, which is mainly attributable to the country’s complex topographic and climatic patterns that favoured allopatric speciation. Taxonomic studies of Moroccan amphibians and reptiles have increased noticeably during the last few decades, including the recognition of new species and the revision of other taxa. In this study, we provide a taxonomically updated checklist and notes on nomenclatural changes based on studies published before April 2020. The updated checklist includes 130 extant species (i.e., 14 amphibians and 116 reptiles, including six sea turtles), increasing considerably the number of species compared to previous recent assessments. Arabic names of the species are also provided as a response to the demands of many Moroccan naturalists. Keywords. North Africa, Morocco, Herpetofauna, Species list, Nomenclature Introduction mya) led to a major faunal exchange (e.g., Blain et al., 2013; Mendes et al., 2017) and the climatic events that Morocco has one of the most varied herpetofauna occurred since Miocene and during Plio-Pleistocene in the Western Palearctic and the highest diversities (i.e., shift from tropical to arid environments) promoted of endemism and European relict species among allopatric speciation (e.g., Escoriza et al., 2006; Salvi North African reptiles (Bons and Geniez, 1996; et al., 2018).

    TAXONOMY OF RHITHROGENA LOYOLAEA SPECIES-GROUP 339 Contribution to the taxonomy of the Introduction Central European species of Modern taxonomic knowledge of the European Rhithrogena loyolaea species-group species from the genus Rhithrogena allows us to (Ephemeroptera: Heptageniidae) classify Rhithrogena gorganica KLAPÁLEK, 1907, Rhithrogena loyolaea NAVÁS, 1922 and Rhithrogena zelinkai SOWA & SOLDÁN, 1984 to the R. loyolaea species-group as defined by MAŁGORZATA KŁONOWSKA-OLEJNIK Sowa (1984). R. gorganica from the Eastern Department of Hydrobiology, Institute of Carpathians was described by Klapálek (1907).

R. loyolaea is known from the mountain systems of Central and Southern Europe. Zelinka (1953) described R. tatrica ZELINKA, 1953 as a new species from the High Tatra (Slovakia). Moreover, Thomas (1970) proposed to synonimize R. loyolaea with R. tatrica. Although the synonymy proposed by Thomas was accepted in some papers (Sowa, 1984; Sowa and Soldán, 1984; Soldán and Landa, 1999), some authors stated R. tatrica as valid binomen (Zelinka, 1980; Tomka and Rasch, 1993; Novikmec and Krno, 1998).

Still, 19 knowledge is incomplete concerning how variation in probability and intensity of infestation 20 depends on body condition, sex or geographic variables. Here, I study the variation in 21 probability and intensity of infestation of blood-sucking mites parasitizing the Atlas day 22 gecko (Quedenfeldtia trachyblepharus) depending on host body condition, sex, and elevation, 23 in the High Atlas (Morocco). Parasite prevalence was 58.75% and probability of infection 24 decreased with host body condition. However, parasitism intensity tended to increase with 25 body condition. The parasite load ranged from 0 to 16 mites per individual, with a mean 26 intensity of 3.0 ± 0.37 (SE) in infested geckos. Prevalence was higher in males (2/3 27 parasitized) than in females (1/2 parasitized), but intensity did not significantly differ with 28 sex. Neither prevalence nor intensity varied with elevation. In conclusion, geckos in better 29 body condition harboured heavier parasite loads, but animals with the highest body condition 30 were not infested.
