  • The Catalogue of the Freshwater Crayfish (Crustacea: Decapoda: Astacidae) from Romania Preserved in “Grigore Antipa” National Museum of Natural History of Bucharest
    Travaux du Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle © Décembre Vol. LIII pp. 115–123 «Grigore Antipa» 2010 DOI: 10.2478/v10191-010-0008-5 THE CATALOGUE OF THE FRESHWATER CRAYFISH (CRUSTACEA: DECAPODA: ASTACIDAE) FROM ROMANIA PRESERVED IN “GRIGORE ANTIPA” NATIONAL MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY OF BUCHAREST IORGU PETRESCU, ANA-MARIA PETRESCU Abstract. The largest collection of freshwater crayfish of Romania is preserved in “Grigore Antipa” National Museum of Natural History of Bucharest. The collection consists of 426 specimens of Astacus astacus, A. leptodactylus and Austropotamobius torrentium. Résumé. La plus grande collection d’écrevisses de Roumanie se trouve au Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle «Grigore Antipa» de Bucarest. Elle comprend 426 exemplaires appartenant à deux genres et trois espèces, Astacus astacus, A. leptodactylus et Austropotamobius torrentium. Key words: Astacidae, Romania, museum collection, catalogue. INTRODUCTION The first paper dealing with the freshwater crayfish of Romania is that of Cosmovici, published in 1901 (Bãcescu, 1967) in which it is about the freshwater crayfish from the surroundings of Iaºi. The second one, much complex, is that of Scriban (1908), who reports Austropotamobius torrentium for the first time, from Racovãþ, Bahna basin (Mehedinþi county). Also Scriban made the first comment on the morphology and distribution of the species Astacus astacus, A. leptodactylus and Austropotamobius torrentium, mentioning their distinctive features. Also, he published the first drawings of these species (cephalothorax). Entz (1912) dedicated a large study to the crayfish of Hungary, where data on the crayfish of Transylvania are included. Probably it is the amplest paper dedicated to the crayfish of the Romanian fauna from the beginning of the last century, with numerous data on the outer morphology, distinctive features between species, with more detailed figures and with the very first morphometric measures, and also with much detailed data on the distribution in Transylvania.

  • Gender and Elections in Romania
    GENDER AND ELECTIONS IN ROMANIA ABSTRACT UNDP has been undertaking a series of case study research projects about the opportunities and challenges for ZRPHQ¶VSDUWLFLSDWLRQDVYoters in the Europe CIS region. The present case study presents an analysis of gender and the electoral legislation reform process in Romania, focusing on two aspects of the legal framework factor: WKHHIIHFWRIWKHHOHFWRUDOV\VWHPRQZRPHQ¶VSDUWLFLSDWLRQDQGJHQGHUTXRWDVDVPHDQVRIHQKDQFLQJZRPHQ¶V descriptive representation. An important entry point is to acknowledge that low participation and representation of ZRPHQLVDVHULRXVLVVXHWKDWLPSDFWV5RPDQLD¶VGHPRFUDWL]DWLRQSURFHVV2QWKLVSDWKWRZDrds gender equality in politics, representatives of civil society should be carefully monitoring political actors who may have learned and are skilled at using the discourse of gender equality, but less so the practice. Future public discussions and debates on political participation and representation should focus on the role of political parties in shaping specific democratic differences. The debates should also emphasize the role of the electoral system in ensuring adequate representation of women. If change towards more gender equality in politics is needed, the joint efforts of all key actors are required. TABLE OF CONTENTS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 3 1. INTRODUCTION 5 2. METHODOLOGY 6 3.
