Abstract Background: Mitochondrial DNA sequencing increasingly results in the recognition of genetically divergent, but morphologically cryptic lineages. Species delimitation approaches that rely on multiple lines of evidence in areas of co-occurrence are particularly powerful to infer their specific status. We investigated the species boundaries of two cryptic lineages of the land snail genus Trochulus in a contact zone, using mitochondrial and nuclear DNA marker as well as shell morphometrics. Results: Both mitochondrial lineages have a distinct geographical distribution with a small zone of co-occurrence.

Its presence at the Lacu Roºu (Gyilkos-tó) area rep- resents the southeasternmost occurrence of the species. The only sample of P. lubomirski hitherto reported from Romania (leg. JICKELI in 1888 at Borsec Bai) seems to be lost from museum collections. The northern Carpathian distributional type is suggested for the species. The nomenclatural problem regarding the spelling of the specific name (i.e. lubomirskii or lubomirski) is discussed. The original, but less frequently used spelling (lubomirski) is suggested based on our understanding of the regulations of the ICZN. KEY WORDS: Carpathian species, faunistics, biogeography, Trochulus, anatomy INTRODUCTION Plicuteria lubomirski (Œlósarski, 1881) (often referred Umgebung des Bades Borszék” (=around Borsec Bai). to as Trochulus) is a Carpathian species reported from This record was later mentioned by SOÓS (1943) and Austria (KLEMM 1973, but also see REISCHÜTZ & GROSSU (1983).

These grikes provide a distinct microclimate conferring a more stable temperature, higher relative humidity, lower light intensity and lower air speed than can be found in the regional climate. This stability of microclimate has resulted in an equally distinctive community of flora and fauna, adapted to a forest floor but found in an often otherwise barren landscape. This thesis documents the long-term study of the properties of the limestone pavement grike in order to identify the extent to which the microclimate may sustain its distinctive biodiversity, to provide recommendations for future research which may lead to more effective management. Over a five-year study, recordings of temperature, relative humidity, light intensity and samples of invertebrate biodiversity were collected from five limestone pavements situated in the Yorkshire Dales and Cumbria in Great Britain, and The Burren in the Republic of Ireland.

  • Biogeographical Characterisation of Szatmár-Bereg Plain Based on the Mollusc Fauna
    Biogeographical characterisation of Szatmár-Bereg plain based on the mollusc fauna Tamás Deli & Pál Sümegi Introduction Connected to the biological inventory on the territory of the Hortobágy National Park Directorate in 1993 and 1994 we could investigate the land snail fauna in 20 of the Szatmár-Bereg Plain forests. Besides the supply of data, we were looking for answers to some zoogeographical questions. From where and how can we trace the descent of snail fauna of the forests of Bereg Plain? Is the migration of the species still in process? What kind of connection is there between the faunas of the relatively close NE- Carpathians and the forests of the Bereg Plain. Keywords: mollusc fauna, biogeography, Hungary The inventory of the forests of the Szatmár-Bereg Plain In the course of the field researches we collected soil samples for the malacological investigations according to the quadrat method (25x25x5 cm/quadrat). We usually took 10 samples in each forest. Besides the quadrat method we applied the bulk collection method. We worked on 390 quadrats, from wich 3264 entities were examined. These entities belong to 43 species. 1000 entities are from the snail bulk collection method. It is typical of the species-abundance of the Bereg Plain that 64% of the 74 species possibly found on the Great Plain can be traced here (Bába, 1983). The land-snail fauna of the plain is outstanding not only nationally but also on the Great Plain. Because of the relatively high percentage (11%) of the Carpathians species and the dominance of closed forest species the fauna of the plain hardly fits into the fauna of the dominant, forest-steppe vegetation of the Great Plain.

Eggs are laid in winter (November–February) and summer (May–September), in batches of 2–20. They are calcified, slightly oval, ca. 1.5 × 1.8 mm. Incubation takes 8–34 days, hatching is asynchronous. Growth from hatching to maturity lasts from ca. 3 to 9 months. In the wild the youngest age class appears in July. The maximum life span is 3 years. The activity is the greatest in spring and autumn; in all seasons it is greater in the night and early morning; juveniles are more active than adults. The individual mobility is up to 5 m/month. KEY WORDS: land snails, Perforatella bidentata, life cycle INTRODUCTION Though very common, Perforatella bidentata (Gme- bidentata is found in all the lowlands and up to ca. 500 lin, 1791) is among the least known snails with respect m a.s.l.
