Boreal Env. Res. 16: 79–90. Knowledge about river ecosystems in the east European lowlands is scattered, however it is strongly needed for water management and conservation issues. The aim of the present study was to provide information on biotic key elements and their responses to major environmental gradients in a European lowland river. During the summers of 2006 and 2007, 124 diatom and 128 macroinvertebrate species were recorded in a pristine brown- water river, the Tudovka, a tributary of the Volga River. The canonical correspondence analysis showed that conductivity, pH and colour were significant environmental variables in explaining diatom data, while macroinvertebrate distribution was most related to dis- tance from source (rkm). The eigenvalues of the first two CCA axes were significant (p < 0.05) for diatoms and invertebrates. However, the diatom analysis explained more of the taxonomic variation (41.7% vs. -

Weiss1 Received: 16 September 2019 / Accepted: 2 January 2020 / Published online: 9 January 2020 © The Author(s) 2020 Abstract A recent eDNA-metabarcoding study assessing fsh diversity in the Upper Volga catchment did not detect sterlet at any of the sampled stretches, despite recent sightings that suggest its presence. We designed a TaqMan qPCR protocol to test for sterlet in selected eDNA samples from that study. In-silico and in-vitro tests confrm the protocol’s high sensitivity and specifcity to sturgeon taxa and potentially paddlefshes. Using this assay, sterlet were not detected in 26 eDNA samples from the Volga headwaters, agreeing with the metabarcoding results.

1 Th Central European Diatom Meeting ABSTRACT & PROGRAM BOOK EDITED by ÉVA ÁCS and KRISZTINA BUCZKÓ
1 th Central European Diatom Meeting ABSTRACT & PROGRAM BOOK EDITED BY ÉVA ÁCS AND KRISZTINA BUCZKÓ 20 – 23 April 2016 Budapest, Hungary 10th Central European Diatom Meeting April 20-23, 2016 Budapest, Hungary ABSTRACT & PROGRAM BOOK WELCOME In the name of the Organizing Committee we are pleased to invite you to participate in and contribute to the 10th Central European Diatom Meeting (10th CEDM). The meeting will be held on 20 – 23 April, 2016 in Budapest, Hungary. Budapest is the capital and the largest city of Hungary, and one of the largest cities in Central Europe. It is the principal political, cultural, commercial, industrial, and transportation centre of the country. The history of Budapest began with Aquincum, originally a Celtic settlement that became the Roman capital of Pannonia Inferior. The re-established town became one of the centres of Renaissance humanist culture by the 15th century. Following the Battle of Mohács and nearly 150 years of Ottoman rule, the region entered a new age of prosperity in the 18th and 19th centuries, and Budapest became a global city after the unification of Buda and Pest in 1873. It also became the second capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, a great power that dissolved in 1918, following World War I. Cited as one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, Budapest's extensive World Heritage Site includes the banks of the Danube River, the Buda Castle Quarter, Andrássy Avenue, Heroes' Square and the Millennium Underground Railway, the second-oldest metro line in the world. The city has around 80 geothermal springs, the world's largest thermal water cave system, second largest synagogue, and third largest Parliament building. -

They were excavated by G. Sinitsyna during 1990 and 1993- 1996. One hundred and sixty-six sq. m were exposed at the site of Podol III/l on the level of a fossil soil of Allerod age. This is a layer (10-15 cm in thickness) of homogeneous and slightly humified sand. The cultural layer of final Palaeolithic times contains an archaeological assemblage of the Bromme technocomplex. An oval dwelling (6 x 2.5 m) with corridor- like entrance was identified (Sinitsyna, 1996) with a central hearth (40 x 50 cm) at a depth (5-10 cm). A radiocarbon date of 9180 ± 75 (LE-5029) was obtained from a charcoal sample from the hearth. A place for flint knapping was located not far from the dwelling. Unipolar blade cores with smooth striking platforms at an angle of 80° dominate the collection.
