Biological characteristics of rock goby, Gobius paganellus (Actinopterygii: Perciformes: Gobiidae), in the south-eastern Black Sea. Acta Ichthyol. Piscat. 39 (2): 111–118. Background. Gobius paganellus L. is one of the most common gobiid fish in the south-eastern Black Sea. The aim of present study is to provide information on age structure and growth, length at sexual maturity, annual cycle of gonad development, and diet of rock goby in the south-eastern Black Sea. Materials and Methods. One hundred seventy-five specimens of G. paganellus were sampled from two stations in the province of Rize, south-eastern Black Sea. Samplings were performed by free diving using spear gun and hand net at night time. Specimens were dissected and sagittal otoliths, stomachs, livers, and gonads were removed. Otoliths were cleaned, immersed in glycerol, and examined on black background using reflected light at low magnification to determine age. Mean size at sexual maturity (L 50 ) (i.e., size at which 50% of fish are mature) was estimated for males and females by fitting the logistic Gompertz function to the proportion of mature fish per cm size-class. The gonadosomatic index, seminal vesicle somatic index, and hepatosomatic index were calculated on monthly basis.

    RECORDERS NEWSLETTER ISSUE 6 – October 2008

    Biodiversity Information Service Recorder Newsletter – Issue 6 – October 2008 RECORDERS NEWSLETTER ISSUE 6 – October 2008 Welcome to the sixth edition of the Powys and Brecon Beacons National Park recorders newsletter. Many thanks to all those that have contributed articles for this issue. Perhaps this edition should be labelled ‘a mammal and invertebrate issue’. I can assure you that this has not been by design. As always, articles reflect the wide variety of recording interest and pro- jects being undertaken. Although most of us are focused on our own recording interests, be it bats, birds, botany or bugs, reading other people’s articles and efforts in this newsletter always really inspires me further. Even more so when recorders come together on recorders’ days. Surely there’s only a certain amount that anyone can learn from books, journals and the web! I’ve always been a great enthusiast for learning from other people in the field. Despite the awful weather this season, the BIS Recorders Field Meetings have proved a successful way to get together, vis- it a new area that perhaps you may not get the chance to, and of course provides extremely useful records for everyone. If anyone has ideas of sites that would benefit from a recorders day visit next year, we would like to hear from you. Our next big event is the BIS Recorders’ Forum on 22nd November (see notice in this is- sue). It’s a couple of years since we all got together at the last Forum, so one to look forward to with plenty of things to catch up on.

    01 OCTOBER 2011 CEH CODE LIST FOR RECORDING THE MACROINVERTEBRATES IN FRESH WATER IN THE BRITISH ISLES CYNTHIA DAVIES AND FRANÇOIS EDWARDS CEH Code List For Recording The Macroinvertebrates In Fresh Water In The British Isles October 2011 Report compiled by Cynthia Davies and François Edwards Centre for Ecology & Hydrology Maclean Building Benson Lane Crowmarsh Gifford, Wallingford Oxfordshire, OX10 8BB United Kingdom Purpose The purpose of this Coded List is to provide a standard set of names and identifying codes for freshwater macroinvertebrates in the British Isles. These codes are used in the CEH databases and by the water industry and academic and commercial organisations. It is intended that, by making the list as widely available as possible, the ease of data exchange throughout the aquatic science community can be improved. The list includes full listings of the aquatic invertebrates living in, or closely associated with, freshwaters in the British Isles. The list includes taxa that have historically been found in Britain but which have become extinct in recent times. Also included are names and codes for ‘artificial’ taxa (aggregates of taxa which are difficult to split) and for composite families used in calculation of certain water quality indices such as BMWP and AWIC scores. Current status The list has evolved from the checklist* produced originally by Peter Maitland (then of the Institute of Terrestrial Ecology) (Maitland, 1977) and subsequently revised by Mike Furse (Centre for Ecology & Hydrology), Ian McDonald (Thames Water Authority) and Bob Abel (Department of the Environment). That list was subject to regular revisions with financial support from the Environment Agency.

    Key to the Larval Stages of Aquatic True Flies (Diptera), Based on the Operational Taxa List for Running Waters in Germany

    Ann. Limnol. - Int. J. Lim. 2007, 43 (1), 61-74 Key to the larval stages of aquatic true flies (Diptera), based on the operational taxa list for running waters in Germany A. Sundermann1*, S. Lohse1, L.A. Beck2, P. Haase1 1 Senckenberg Research Institute and Natural History Museum, Department of Limnology and Conservation, Clamecystrasse 12, D-63571 Gelnhausen, Germany 2 Philipps-University Marburg, Department of Biology, Zoology, Marburg, Germany The aquatic larvae of the Diptera are often the most abundant and most diverse group of the benthic macroinvertebrate fauna. They are able to survive in and colonise practically all freshwater habitats, and some species can tolerate harsh environmental conditions. They are therefore both a qualitatively and quantitatively important group of biological indicators for assessing fresh- water systems. On the other hand their determination at the species level is very difficult. This is in part due to a lack of taxo- nomic work in the group, but also the absence of comprehensive determination keys, that meet the needs of water managers. As a result, the aquatic larvae of the Diptera often play a subordinate role in water management. In light of the EU Water Framework Directive the present work is a first step in improving the integration of the important group of the Diptera in water management practice: a comprehensive determination key, which is geared at water managers. The key includes 60 taxa, largely at the family and genus level. In contrast to already existing keys the present work tries to differentiate the taxa on the basis of simple and user-friendly characters.

Agência de fomento: CAPES. 2. Faculdade de Filosofia, Ciências e Letras de Ribeirão Preto, Faculdade de Filosofia, Ciências e Letras de Ribeirão Preto, e-mail: [email protected] _____________________________________ EntomoBrasilis 1(3): 43-50 (2008) Abstract. The infraorder Tabanomorpha traditionally includes the families Tabanidae, Athericidae, Rhagionidae, and Vermileonidae. The new family Oreoleptidae was placed among the tabanomorphan, as well as some controversial groups as Austroleptidae and Spaniidae, but there is no agreement on the phylogenetic relationships of the groups considered as belonging to the infraorder. Here is presented the geographical distribution of the tabanomorphan families Rhagionidae, Vermileonidae, Athericidae, Austroleptidae and Oreoleptidae, followed by comments on the biogeography of each group. The origin of Tabanomorpha probably dates back to the early Mesozoic, during the Triassic or even earlier, which somehow explains its widespread distribution all over the biogeographical regions, pointing to a great influence of plate tectonics in generating nowadays distribution. Nevertheless, despite the initial attempts to solve the problem, the biogeographical evolution of Tabanomorpha is still scarcely known. In order to properly reconstruct its historical area relationships, every biogeographical analysis depends on up-to-dated distributional information, and, hence, reliable lists of distribution are a starting point to a broad comprehension of the evolution of life in space. Key words: Biogeographical regions, Diptera, geographical distribution, Tabanomorpha.

HEWITT Tullie House, Castle Street, Carlisle, Cumbria CA3 8TP [email protected] JOHN PARKER 16 Brunswick Road, Penrith, Cumbria CA11 7LT 2 Summary This report describes surveys of flies at sandy exposed riverine sediment and forms part of a series of projects based on the flies included in the Biodiversity Action Plan. Eighteen rivers in England, Wales and Scotland were selected for survey on the basis of their supporting populations of the BPS-listed Spiriverpa lunulata , Cliorismia rustica or Rhabdomastix ‘laeta’ , or whose sandy aspect suggested that high potential for these species. Therevids were sought during unstructured searches lasting for about an hour. The assemblage of flies using ERS was sampled using timed sweep-netting at 284 points and suction sampling at 136 of these. Sampling was targeted at ERS rather than other riverine habitats. Species in all well represented families except sphaerocerids were identified. Records of therevids were patchy. New sites were found for Cliorismia on the Wey, Rother and Tay, and a previously known Rother population was found to be thriving. New records for Spiriverpa were from the Lune, Coquet, Till and Breamish. Cliorismia was found new to Scotland at two locations on the Tay and Spiriverpa was found to be widespread and locally numerous on both the Spey and the Tay (including several apparently new populations).
