Big part of the site represents the same-named National Nature Re- serve. This site was included to the NATURA 2000 network due to the occurrence of several rare species, natural sceneries and biotops. Major part of site is situat ed in the north-eastern part of the Branisko Mts and minor part in the south-west- part of the Bachureň Mts. These mountains are one of the least known areas from the malacological point of view.

    Malacologica Bohemoslovaca (2008), 7: 17–20 ISSN 1336-6939 Terrestrial gastropods (Mollusca, Gastropoda) of the Bulgarian part of the Alibotush Mts. IVAILO KANEV DEDOV Central Laboratory of General Ecology, 2 Gagarin Str., BG-1113 Sofia, Bulgaria, e-mail: [email protected] DEDOV I.K., 2008: Terrestrial gastropods (Mollusca, Gastropoda) of the Bulgarian part of the Alibotush Mts. – Malacologica Bohemoslovaca, 7: 17–20. Online serial at <http://mollusca.sav.sk> 20-Feb-2008. This work presents results of two years collecting efforts within the project “The role of the alpine karst area in Bulgaria as reservoir of species diversity”. It summarizes distribution data of 44 terrestrial gastropods from the Bulgarian part of Alibotush Mts. Twenty-seven species are newly recorded from the Alibotush Mts., 13 were con- firmed, while 4 species, previously known from the literature, were not found. In the gastropod fauna of Alibotush Mts. predominate species from Mediterranean zoogeographic complex. A large part of them is endemic species, and this demonstrates the high conservation value of large limestone areas in respect of terrestrial gastropods.

Within Ariantinae, C. obtusus stands out because of its aberrant cylindrical shell shape. Here, we present phylogenetic trees based on these five marker sequences and discuss the position of C. obtusus and phylogeographical scenarios in comparison with previously published results. Our results provide strong support for the sister-group relationship between Cylindrus and Arianta confirming previous studies and imply that the split between the two genera is quite old. The tree reveals a phylogeographical pattern of Ariantinae with a well-supported clade comprising the Balkan taxa which is the sister group to a clade with individuals from Alpine localities.

Palaeoecological horizons were reconstructed using sedimentological data (organic matter and carbonate content, grain-size distribution and magnetic susceptibility) and the dominance-based malacological results (MZs) supported by habitat and richness charts, moreover multi-variate statistics (cluster analysis). The correlation of the reconstructed palaeoecological horizons with global climatic trends (Marine Isotope Stages) determined the main accumulation processes in the examined areas. The palaeoecological analyses revealed specific accumulation conditions at both sequences, fluvial and aeolian environments at Šarengrad and a possible forest refuge at Zmajevac.

  • Pupillid Land Snails of Eastern North America*
    Amer. Malac. Bull. 28: 1-29 (2010) Pupillid land snails of eastern North America* Jeffrey C. Nekola1 and Brian F. Coles2 1 Department of Biology, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87131, U.S.A. 2 Mollusca Section, Department of Biodiversity, National Museum of Wales, Cathays Park, Cardiff CF10 3NP, U.K. Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract: The Pupillidae form an important component of eastern North American land snail biodiversity, representing approx. 12% of the entire fauna, 25-75% of all species and individuals at regional scales, at least 30% of the species diversity, and 33% of individuals within any given site. In some regions pupillids represent 80-100% of total molluscan diversity within sites, notably in taiga, tundra, and the base-poor pine savannas and pocosins of the southeastern coastal plain. Adequate documentation of North American land snail biodiversity thus requires investigators to effi ciently collect and accurately identify individuals of this group. This paper presents a set of annotated keys to the 65 species in this family known to occur in North America east of the Rocky Mountains. The distinguishing taxonomic features, updated county-scale range maps, and ecological conditions favored by each are presented in hopes of stimulating future research in this important group. Key words: microsnail, biodiversity, ecology, biogeography, taxonomy For the last dozen years, our interests in terrestrial Adequate documentation of this diversity thus requires gastropod biodiversity have lead us individually and investigators to effi ciently collect and accurately identify collectively to observe molluscan communities over most of individuals from this family. Unfortunately, neither has been North America, ranging from central Quebec, Hudson’s Bay common.

  • Molluscs of the Dürrenstein Wilderness Area
    Molluscs of the Dürrenstein Wilderness Area S a b i n e F ISCHER & M i c h a e l D UDA Abstract: Research in the Dürrenstein Wilderness Area (DWA) in the southwest of Lower Austria is mainly concerned with the inventory of flora, fauna and habitats, interdisciplinary monitoring and studies on ecological disturbances and process dynamics. During a four-year qualitative study of non-marine molluscs, 96 sites within the DWA and nearby nature reserves were sampled in cooperation with the “Alpine Land Snails Working Group” located at the Natural History Museum of Vienna. Altogether, 84 taxa were recorded (72 land snails, 12 water snails and mussels) including four endemics and seven species listed in the Austrian Red List of Molluscs. A reference collection (empty shells) of molluscs, which is stored at the DWA administration, was created. This project was the first systematic survey of mollusc fauna in the DWA. Further sampling might provide additional information in the future, particularly for Hydrobiidae in springs and caves, where detailed analyses (e.g. anatomical and genetic) are needed. Key words: Wilderness Dürrenstein, Primeval forest, Benign neglect, Non-intervention management, Mollusca, Snails, Alpine endemics.

Kobayashi Issa-ren haikua To the little things that run the world Esker onak Acknowledgements Tesi bat ez da pertsona bakar batena, bidean zehar laguntzen duten pertsona guztiei esker sortutako lana da eta, beraz, lehen orriek haien laguntza eskertzeko izan behar dute: En primer lugar me gustaría agradecer a mis directores, Benjamín Gómez-Moliner y María José Madeira. A Benjamín, por darme la oportunidad de entrar en el grupo de investigación y confiar en que podría realizar esta tesis. Gracias por compartir tus extensos conocimientos y por descubrirme el mundo de la malacología, que sin duda no habría encontrado por mi cuenta y ha resultado de lo más interesante. A Marijo, porque desde el principio y hasta el final has estado siempre ahí para guiarme, animarme y para ayudarme en todo lo que hiciese falta pero, sobre todo, por mostrarme que es posible compaginar este trabajo con una vida fuera de él.
