BLACK SEA RED DATA BOOK Edited by Henri J. Dumont (Ghent, Belgium) Website Editor: V.O. Mamaev (Istanbul, Turkey) Scientific Coordinator: Y.P. Zaitsev (Odessa, Ukraine) EDITOR'S PREFACE This "paper form" of the Black Sea Red Data book is not an exact copy of its predecessor, the Black Sea Red Data web site. In addition to polishing the language and style, I added a number of illustrations, and some distribution maps were also redrawn. Contentwise, I was struck by the high level of commitment of the numerous scientists associated with this project. Inevitably, there were differences in approach and in the level of thoroughness between contributions. By far the most detailed species sheets were those contributed by the ornithologists, while some of the most synthetic ones were found among the botanical entries. I tried to conserve as much of the original flavour as I could, yet also aimed at harmonising contributions as far as feasible, and this was certainly the case for such formal aspects as styling of the references, including details of punctuation. The practice of numbering was abandoned in favour of an alphabetical system. While I welcome the initiative of including some terrestrial groups that populate the littoral fringe of the Black Sea, I did have some problems with the choice of species in certain cases. For example, it is not because a species is rare in Bulgaria or Romania, that it should also be endangered in the rest of the Black Sea fringe. In the case of the aquatic insects belonging to the Odonata, I therefore had to widen the scope of some items listed in the book to what lives along the south and east margins of the Sea, and I included a number of previously unlisted subspecies. This, the vicariance and the formation of clines with a various degree of steepness of closely related taxa around the basin, is one of the most exciting aspects of the living world of the Black Sea fringe. Even so, I regret the selection of particular species of insects and plants, and the omission of others since, in addition to the aspect I just stressed, there is a concentration of endemics in the south-east corner of the basin, where Caucasian biota with very narrow ranges occur down to sea-level. Among dragonflies, I may cite Coenagrion ponticum and Cordulegaster mzymtae as examples. I did not explicitely add them to the list, but inserted a brief note on them in the section dealing with Calopteryx virgo feminalis, which is yet another representative of this category. There are doubtlessly many plants in the same category, and hence, the contents of a future Red Data book of the Black Sea should be revised in light of this reality. Finally, I encountered some problems with the taxonomic nomenclature used. Some taxa were listed under names that are widely considered to be junior synonyms or otherwise unvalid. In all instances where I stumbled upon such a case (and without claiming to have conducted an exhaustive search), I took the responsability of replacing it by the binomen that is currently regarded as valid. For the botanical part, I was privileged to receive expert help from my colleague Prof. P. Goetghebeur, to whom I here extend my greatest thanks. Henri J. Dumont Ghent, June 1999 2 INTRODUCTION This book was created within the framework of the GEF Black Sea Environment Programme, at the Data Base Laboratory of Marine Hydrophysical Institute, Sevastopol, Ukraine, but contributors came from all Black Sea countries (for a list, see further). The GEF Black Sea Environmental Programme (BSEP) was established in June 1993 with three primary objectives: to strengthen and create regional capacities for managing the Black Sea ecosystem; to develop and implement an appropriate policy and legal framework for the assessment, control and prevention of pollution and the maintenance and enhancement of biodiversity; and to facilitate the preparation of sound environmental investments. The BSEP is to be implemented through an interactive matrix of national coordinators, thematic regional activity centers and focal point institutions targeting: emergency response, routine pollution monitoring, special monitoring, biodiversity protection, coastal zone management, environmental legislation and economics, data management and GIS, and fisheries. The overall programme coordination was conducted by a Project Coordination Unit (PCU), based in Istanbul. As described in the Strategic Action Plan for the Rehabilitation and Protection of the Black Sea: "A regional Black Sea Red Data Book (BSRDB), identifying and describing endangered species, will be developed because, at present, there are no Red Data Books or Lists which cover all the threatened and rare species of the entire Black Sea ecosystem. To date, no regional Red Data Book had been prepared for the marine environment anywhere in the world — the BSRDB is the first; the BSRDB includes Black Sea species which are already mentioned in national and international Red Data Books and Lists, plus other Black Sea threatened species which will be introduced to the BSRDB by specialists using accumulated data. The Black Sea Red Data Book includes: threatened and rare species of marine plants and animals; and, threatened and rare species of coastal organisms which are ecologically close to the marine environment The BSRDB exists in two versions: as a conventional book (this version), and as a web site and CD-ROM. Both versions include an Introduction (how to use the document.), a main text with species files, and a list of references. 3 The preparation of the Regional List, one of the most important stages in the design of the BSRDB, required multiple cross-consultations between various specialists both from within and outside the Black Sea region. The resulting Regional List is therefore not be a simple amalgamation of national lists. Key Contributors: Stanislav Volovik - Deputy Director. Research Institute of the Azov Sea Fishery Problems.

Geographical Coverage of the Black Sea Red Data Book It was decided that the geographical scope of the BSRDB should cover the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov, and also their coasts, including wetlands connected to the sea. The geographical scope of the BSRDB does not cover the entire Black Sea basin or extend to the Sea of Marmara. The geographical scope of the BSRDB is thus not identical with the scope of the GEF BSEP. International Union of Conservation of Nature Categories used in this Red DataBook. The IUCN Red List Categories of the IUCN Species Survival Commission (1994) to describe the status of each species were used, viz. -Extinct (EX) -Extinct in the Wild (EW) -Critically Endangered (CE) -Endangered (EN) -Vulnerable (VU) -Lower Risk (LR) -Data Deficient (DD) General Structure of the Black Sea Red Data Book This Book consists of: -an introduction -sheets (files) describing threatened species of plants, including Algae (part 1) and animals (part 2) -annexes (references, indexes) 5 The book was written in English. The scientific names of each species are also given in Latin and in the official languages of the Black Sea countries (Bulgarian, Romanian, Russian, Turkish and Ukrainian).

  • Ability to Light-Induced Conductance Change of Arthropod Visual Cell
    Ability to Light-Induced Conductance Change of Arthropod Visual Cell Membrane, Indirectly Depending on Membrane Potential, during Depolarization by External Potassium or Ouabain * H. Stieve, M. Bruns, and H. Gaube Institut für Neurobiologie der Kernforschungsanlage Jülich GmbH (Z. Naturforsch. 32 c, 8 5 5 -8 6 9 [1977]; received July 12, 1977) Astacus and Limuluis Photoreceptors, Light Response, Membrane Conductance, Ouabain, Potassium Depolarization Light responses (ReP) and pre-stimulus membrane potential (PMP) and conductance of photo­ receptors of Astacus leptodactylus and Limulus polyphemus (lateral eye) were recorded and changes were observed when the photoreceptor was depolarized by the action of external ouabain or high potassium concentration application. 1 mM/1 ouabain application causes a transient increase of PMP and ReP in Limulus, followed by a decrease which is faster for the ReP (half time 34 min) than for the PMP (half time 80 min). Irreversible loss of excitability occurs when the PMP is still ca. 40% of the reference value. In both preparations high external potassium concentration leads to total depolarization (beyond zero line to +10— f-20mV) of the PMP and after a time lag of 10 min also to a loss of ex­ citability (intracellular recording). In extracellular recordings (Astacus ) the excitability remains at a low level of 15%. The effects are reversible and are similar whether no or 10% external sodium is present. In all experiments the light-induced changes of membrane conductance are about parallel to those of the light response. The fact that the ability of the photosensoric membrane to undergo light-induced conductance changes is membrane potential-dependent is discussed, leading to the explanation that dipolar membrane constituents such as channel forming molecules (probably not rhodopsin) have to be ordered by the membrane potential to keep the membrane functional for the photosensoric action.

  • Ostariophysi: Characiformes: Anostomidae)
    Neotropical Ichthyology, 4(1):27-44, 2006 Copyright © 2006 Sociedade Brasileira de Ictiologia Revision of the South American freshwater fish genus Laemolyta Cope, 1872 (Ostariophysi: Characiformes: Anostomidae) Kelly Cristina Mautari and Naércio Aquino Menezes The anostomid genus Laemolyta Cope, 1872, is redefined.Various morphological, especially osteological characters in addi- tion to the commonly utilized features of dentition proved useful for its characterization. A taxonomic revision of all species was made using meristics, morphometrics and color pattern. Five species are recognized: Laemolyta fernandezi Myers, 1950, from the río Orinoco (Venezuela) and the sub-basins Tocantins/Araguaia and Xingu, L. orinocensis (Steindachner, 1879), restricted to the río Orinoco, L. garmani (Borodin, 1931) and L. proxima (Garman, 1890), from the Amazon basin with the latter also occurring in the Essequibo River (Guiana), and L. taeniata (Kner, 1859), from the Amazon and Orinoco basins. Laemolyta garmani macra is considered a synonym of L. garmani, L. petiti a synonym of L. fernandezi, and L. nitens and L. varia synonyms of L. proxima. Lectotypes are designated herein for L. orinocencis and L. taeniata. O gênero Laemolyta Cope, 1872 da família Anostomidae é redefinido e além das características da dentição usualmente utilizadas, outros caracteres morfológicos, principalmente osteológicos, também se revelaram úteis para sua conceituação. Foi feita a revisão taxonômica de todas as espécies utilizando-se dados morfométricos, merísticos e padrão de colorido. Cinco espécies são reconhecidas: Laemolyta fernandezi Myers, 1950 do rio Orinoco (Venezuela) e rios Tocantins/Araguaia e Xingu, Laemolyta orinocensis (Steindachner, 1879) restrita ao rio Orenoco, L. garmani (Borodin, 1931) e Laemolyta proxima (Garman, 1890) da bacia Amazônica, esta última ocorrendo também no rio Essequibo (Guianas) e Laemolyta taeniata (Kner, 1859) da bacia Amazônica e rio Orenoco.

  • Evolutionary Shifts in Fruit Dispersal Syndromes in Apiaceae Tribe Scandiceae
    Plant Systematics and Evolution (2019) 305:401–414 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00606-019-01579-1 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Evolutionary shifts in fruit dispersal syndromes in Apiaceae tribe Scandiceae Aneta Wojewódzka1,2 · Jakub Baczyński1 · Łukasz Banasiak1 · Stephen R. Downie3 · Agnieszka Czarnocka‑Cieciura1 · Michał Gierek1 · Kamil Frankiewicz1 · Krzysztof Spalik1 Received: 17 November 2018 / Accepted: 2 April 2019 / Published online: 2 May 2019 © The Author(s) 2019 Abstract Apiaceae tribe Scandiceae includes species with diverse fruits that depending upon their morphology are dispersed by gravity, carried away by wind, or transported attached to animal fur or feathers. This diversity is particularly evident in Scandiceae subtribe Daucinae, a group encompassing species with wings or spines developing on fruit secondary ribs. In this paper, we explore fruit evolution in 86 representatives of Scandiceae and outgroups to assess adaptive shifts related to the evolutionary switch between anemochory and epizoochory and to identify possible dispersal syndromes, i.e., patterns of covariation of morphological and life-history traits that are associated with a particular vector. We also assess the phylogenetic signal in fruit traits. Principal component analysis of 16 quantitative fruit characters and of plant height did not clearly separate spe- cies having diferent dispersal strategies as estimated based on fruit appendages. Only presumed anemochory was weakly associated with plant height and the fattening of mericarps with their accompanying anatomical changes. We conclude that in Scandiceae, there are no distinct dispersal syndromes, but a continuum of fruit morphologies relying on diferent dispersal vectors. Phylogenetic mapping of ten discrete fruit characters on trees inferred by nrDNA ITS and cpDNA sequence data revealed that all are homoplastic and of limited use for the delimitation of genera.
