  • The Slugs of Britain and Ireland: Undetected and Undescribed Species Increase a Well-Studied, Economically Important Fauna by More Than 20%
    The Slugs of Britain and Ireland: Undetected and Undescribed Species Increase a Well-Studied, Economically Important Fauna by More Than 20% Ben Rowson1*, Roy Anderson2, James A. Turner1, William O. C. Symondson3 1 National Museum of Wales, Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom, 2 Conchological Society of Great Britain & Ireland, Belfast, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom, 3 Cardiff School of Biosciences, Cardiff University, Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom Abstract The slugs of Britain and Ireland form a well-studied fauna of economic importance. They include many widespread European species that are introduced elsewhere (at least half of the 36 currently recorded British species are established in North America, for example). To test the contention that the British and Irish fauna consists of 36 species, and to verify the identity of each, a species delimitation study was conducted based on a geographically wide survey. Comparisons between mitochondrial DNA (COI, 16S), nuclear DNA (ITS-1) and morphology were investigated with reference to interspecific hybridisation. Species delimitation of the fauna produced a primary species hypothesis of 47 putative species. This was refined to a secondary species hypothesis of 44 species by integration with morphological and other data. Thirty six of these correspond to the known fauna (two species in Arion subgenus Carinarion were scarcely distinct and Arion (Mesarion) subfuscus consisted of two near-cryptic species). However, by the same criteria a further eight previously undetected species (22% of the fauna) are established in Britain and/or Ireland. Although overlooked, none are strictly morphologically cryptic, and some appear previously undescribed. Most of the additional species are probably accidentally introduced, and several are already widespread in Britain and Ireland (and thus perhaps elsewhere).

  • Mito-Nuclear Sequencing Is Paramount to Correctly Identify Sympatric Hybridizing Fishes
    ACTA ICHTHYOLOGICA ET PISCATORIA (2018) 48 (2): 123–141 DOI: 10.3750/AIEP/02348 MITO-NUCLEAR SEQUENCING IS PARAMOUNT TO CORRECTLY IDENTIFY SYMPATRIC HYBRIDIZING FISHES Carla SOUSA-SANTOS1*, Ana M.

Mito-nuclear sequencing is paramount to correctly identify sympatric hybridizing fishes. Acta Ichthyol. Piscat. 48 (2): 123–141. Background. Hybridization may drive speciation and erode species, especially when intrageneric sympatric species are involved. Five sympatric Luciobarbus species—Luciobarbus sclateri (Günther, 1868), Luciobarbus comizo (Steindachner, 1864), Luciobarbus microcephalus (Almaça, 1967), Luciobarbus guiraonis (Steindachner, 1866), and Luciobarbus steindachneri (Almaça, 1967)—are commonly identified in field surveys by diagnostic morphological characters. Assuming that i) in loco identification is subjective and observer-dependent, ii) there is previous evidence of interspecific hybridization, and iii) the technical reports usually do not include molecular analyses, our main goal was to assess the concordance between in loco species identification based on phenotypic characters with identifications based on morphometric indices, mtDNA only, and a combination of mito-nuclear markers.

  • 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.

  • On the Distribution and Food Preferences of Arion Subfuscus (Draparnaud, 1805)
    Vol. 16(2): 61–67 ON THE DISTRIBUTION AND FOOD PREFERENCES OF ARION SUBFUSCUS (DRAPARNAUD, 1805) JAN KOZ£OWSKI Institute of Plant Protection, National Research Institute, W³adys³awa Wêgorka 20, 60-318 Poznañ, Poland (e-mail: [email protected]) ABSTRACT: In recent years Arion subfuscus (Drap.) is increasingly often observed in agricultural crops. Its abun- dance and effect on winter oilseed rape crops were studied. Its abundance was found to be much lower than that of Deroceras reticulatum (O. F. Müll.). Preferences of A. subfuscus to oilseed rape and 19 other herbaceous plants were determined based on multiple choice tests in the laboratory. Indices of acceptance (A.I.), palat- ability (P.I.) and consumption (C.I.) were calculated for the studied plant species; accepted and not accepted plant species were identified. A. subfuscus was found to prefer seedlings of Brassica napus, while Chelidonium maius, Euphorbia helioscopia and Plantago lanceolata were not accepted.

In Croatian watercourses, three members of the genus Barbus are found, B. balcanicus, B. barbus and B. plebejus, each occupying a specific ecological niche. This study examined cytochrome b (cyt b), a common genetic marker used to describe the structure and origin of fish populations to perform a phylogenetic reconstruction of the Danube barbel. Two methods of phylogenetic inference were used: maximum parsimony (MP) and maximum likelihood (ML), which yielded well supported trees of similar topology. The Median joining network (MJ) was generated and corroborated to show the divergence of three lineages of Barbus balcanicus on the Balkan Peninsula: Croatian, Serbian and Macedonian lineages that separated at the beginning of the Pleistocene.

  • Terrestrial Snail Fauna in the Some§/Szamos' River Valley from the Spring Region to the Inflow Into the River Tisza
    Terrestrial snail fauna in the Some§/Szamos' River Valley from the spring region to the inflow into the river Tisza Károly Bába and Andrei Sárkány-Kiss Abstract The sampling sites included montane and lowland riparian plant communities of early or advanced successional stages as well as forests of hilly region, which often extend.to riverbanks. The plant communities differ from each other by the composition of their snail assemblages, as it is proved by the results of cluster and principal component analyses. It was concluded, that ubiquitous and continental species {Bradybaena, Deroceras rodnae, Succinea putris, Helix lutescens) dominate among snails transported by the Somej/Szanios over long distances. Species of narrow ecological tolerance range can be found in the riparian vegetation of the Somej/Szamos Valley and also of minor watercourses arriving from neighbouring hills and mountains. The fauna dispersal from the spring region is hampered by water reservoirs, shrinkage of forest habitats to single row of trees along the river and the lack of riparian gallery forests in the flood area. The biotopes are subjected to the strongest human impact resulted from the forest management, or logging the flood plain into agricultural fields. The garbage disposal in/or near the riparian vegetation also cause major disturbances for the snail assemblages. Keywords: Gastropoda, human impact, Some$/Szamos River Valley Introduction A scientific expedition was organised in the valley of river Some$/Szamos between 1-18. 06. 1992 with the aim of assessing the current biotic status of the river. During the field investigations special attention was paid to the influence of human activities on the microflora and invertebrate fauna of the river, and on its natural self-purification.
