UVOD “But if they're so successful, why haven't parasites taken over the world? The answer is simple: they have. We just haven't noticed. That's because successful parasites don't kill us; they become part of us, making us perform all the work to keep them alive and help them reproduce.” Daniel Suarez Jedan od prvih dokaza o postojanju parazita poti če iz geološke periode Trijasa od pre 240 miliona godina (Hugot et al., 2014). Jasno je da je ovako dug period postojanja na Zemlji uslovio njihovu veliku biološku raznovrsnost. Od svih poznatih vrsta živih bi ća na Zemlji, polovina njih vodi parazitski na čin života. Parazitizam je jedan od najrasprostranjenijih i najuspešnijih na čina života na Zemlji (Price, 1980; Windsor, 1998; Poulin et Morand, 2000; Poulin, 2006). Paraziti slepih miševa filogenetski i morfološki su veoma raznovrsni organizmi koji obuhvataju mnoge vrste pantlji čara (Cestoda), metilja (Trematoda), valjkastih crva (Nematoda), Pentastomida, Eimeria (Coccidia) i Trypanosoma (Flagellata). Prou čavane su mnoge vrste parazita, ali izuzetno su oskudna saznanja kada je re č o ekološkim odnosima parazita i slepih miševa koji su ujedno i njihovi doma ćini. Mnoge studije se bave istraživanjima ekologije i zaštite slepih miševa, dok su parazitološka istraživanja mnogo manje zastupljena (Coggins, 1988; Kuntz et Fenton, 2003; Rivers et al., 2005; Zubaid et al., 2006; Hale et al., 2012). Još 1780. godine Müller je objavio prvi rad o metiljima parazitima slepih miševa i pri tome je prvi opisao vrstu Plagiorchis vespertilionis koja parazitira u evropskim populacijama slepih miševa Plecotus auritus (= Vespertilio auritis ) (Tkach et al., 2000 a). Gmelin je 1790. godine kod iste vrste doma ćina opisao nematodu Nematoides vespertilionis (Stiles et Hassall, 1920; Stiles et Nolan, 1931). Iste godine Gmelin daje i opis pantlji čare koju je izolovao iz slepih miševa. Kolenati 1856. godine opisuje nematode roda Capillaria koje parazitiraju u populaciji slepih miševa Amerike. Paron 1890. godine daje detaljan opis bodljoglavog crva Neoncicola novellae (ph. Acanthocephala) izolovane iz Artibeus jamaicensis , poreklom iz Portorika (Gardner et Jiménez-Ruíz, 2009). Procenjuje se da se iz slepih miševa može izolovati približno 4400 vrsta endoparazita (metilji, pantlji čare, bodljoglavi crvi, nematode i protozoe) (Kuntz et Parsons, 2009). Na osnovu istraživanja Ubelaker (1970) je utvrdio da su insektivorni slepi miševi u pore đenju sa frugivornim i nektarivornim vrstama češ će inficirani metiljima. Poznavanje biološke raznovrstnosti parazita daje osnovu za bolje razumevanje ekologije, taksonomije, biogeografije i evolucije slepih miševa koji su ujedno i njihovi doma ćini. Pored toga, pružaju detaljne informacije o parazitofauni divljih životinja i omogu ćavaju bolje razumevanje ekologije parazita kao i filogenetske odnose me đu njima. 1 Uvidom u sastav zajednice endoparazita nekog podru čja dobijamo dodatne informacije o biodiverzitetu lokalnih i regionalnih zajednica životinja (Gardner et Campbell, 1992; Brooks et Hoberg, 2000; Hoberg et al., 2003; Frick et al., 2010).

Chobanov & Branislava Mihajlova Abstract During the revision of the Orthoptera collection of the Macedonian Museum of Natural History (Skopje) in 2004, four Mantodea and 102 Orthoptera species (al- together 1057 specimens) collected in the Republic of Macedonia were deter- mined. Furthermore, a revision of the literature about the Macedonian orthopte- ran fauna was executed and some own unpublished records were added. As a result of the present study, eight taxa are added and 27 taxa are subtracted from the list of the Macedonian fauna. Thus, the updated check list of the Orthoptera fauna of Macedonia comprises four species of Mantodea, 167 Orthoptera taxa and two additional subspecies. The study also revealed that two Orthoptera spe- cies must be eliminated from the list of the Serbian fauna. Zusammenfassung Im Zuge der Bearbeitung der Orthopterensammlung des Naturhistorischen Mu- seums von Mazedonien (Skopje), im Jahre 2004, konnten vier Mantiden- und 102 Orthopterenarten (zusammen 1057 Individuen), die in der Republik Mazedo- nien gesammelt wurden, untersucht werden. Zusätzlich wurde eine umfangreiche Literaturstudie über die mazedonische Orthopterenfauna durchgeführt, die weite- re Nachweise lieferte. Die vorliegende Studie ergab acht neue Taxa für Mazedo- nien, wohingegen 27 der für die mazedonische Fauna angegebenen Taxa nicht in Mazedonien vorkommen. Die aktuelle Checkliste der Orthopterenfauna Maze- doniens enthält somit vier Arten Gottesanbeterinnen, 167 Heuschreckenarten und zwei weitere Unterarten.

  • 2010-7-Alcathoe's
    An awful lot of bat workers are going to be looking even Alcathoe Bat more closely at any Myotis they encounter. You had to be there Top photo (c) http://www.krzysztof.piksa-pl.com As we arrived at the ZSL symposium people were in little Lower photo Derek Smith’s mystery bat huddles muttering excitedly. Soon we were as excited Prof John Altringham was using the symposium to announce that Britain has a new bat species The news was kept quiet until the results had been checked and double checked but there can be no doubt. We have discussed before the nightmare which is distinguishing Brandt and whiskered bats. One of John’s research students was doing genetic analysis of Brandt and Whiskered bats and contacted John because she was getting a sizeable cluster of anomalous results that fitted neither species when she looked at the gene sequences. DNA was taken from bats in the North York Moors and Susses, and when they also looked at samples from Europe, they got the same results John says that key features to look for are forearm length, and echolocation calls. Bob and Jude were insufferably smug having seen it in Hungary ad knew how to pronounce its name (Al Kath- oh-ee). John is in favour of calling the bat Alcathoe Bat rather than Alcathoe’s John kindly sent us a copy of his draft paper. We forwarded this to taxonomy keeny Derek Smith and we could almost hear him weeping as he e mailed us back post-haste “Hi Bob and Jude, many thanks for the paper.

For the first time we describe the morphology, histology and ultrastructure of the reproductive system in both morphs of the sexual generation of aphids within one species, using light and fluorescent microscopy, as well as transmission and scanning electron microscopy. The results revealed that males have testes composed of three follicles fused by the upper ends of the vasa efferentia, the vasa deferentia run independently, the accessory glands are asymmetric and the ejaculatory duct shortened. Oviparous females have ovaries composed of seven ovarioles each. The lateral oviducts join to a short common oviduct connected with the unpaired spermatheca and paired accessory glands. Yolky eggs with an aggregation of symbiotic bacteria at the posterior pole are produced. Histologically, the components of genital tracts are broadly similar: the epithelial cells of the walls of the vasa Submitted 18 April 2019 Accepted 29 July 2019 deferentia and accessory glands of the male and oviparous female have secretory Published 2 September 2019 functions which correlate with the age of the studied morphs.

    HUNGARY and SLOVAKIA SMALL MAMMAL TOUR - The Bats and Rodents of Central Europe Hangarian hay meadow in warm August sunshine. Steve Morgan ([email protected]), John Smart 25/8/17 HUNGARY and SLOVAKIA SMALL MAMMAL TOUR 1 Introduction I had long intended to visit Hungary for bats and small mammals but had never quite got round to it. Now, however, a chance presented itself to join a tour with both Hungary and Slovakia on the itinerary and a long list of prospective mammalian targets on offer, including Forest Dormouse, European Hamster, Lesser Mole Rat, Common Souslik and a number of highly desirable bats such as Grey Long-eared, Northern and Parti-coloured. The tour was organised by Ecotours of Hungary and led by Istvan Bartol. It ran from 9/8/17 to 17/8/17, the two particpants being John Smart and me, both of us from the UK. 2 Logistics I flew from Luton to Budapest on Wizzair. Frankly, I’d never heard of Wizzair before and, given their two hour delay on the outward leg (resulting in an extremely late check in to my hotel in Budapest), I’m not sure I want to hear about them again! The hotels selected by Ecotours were all very good. In Mezokovesd we stayed at the Hajnal Hotel which was clean and comfortable and offered a good (cooked) buffet breakfast. In Slovakia we stayed at the equally good Penzion Reva which was set in very nice countryside overlooking a picturesque lake. Istvan Bartol led the tour and did all the driving.

  • Hybridization Hotspots at Bat Swarming Sites
    Hybridization Hotspots at Bat Swarming Sites Wiesław Bogdanowicz1*, Krzysztof Piksa2, Anna Tereba1 1 Museum and Institute of Zoology, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warszawa, Poland, 2 Cracow Pedagogical University, Institute of Biology, Krako´w, Poland Abstract During late summer and early autumn in temperate zones of the Northern Hemisphere, thousands of bats gather at caves, mainly for the purpose of mating. We demonstrated that this swarming behavior most probably leads not only to breeding among bats of the same species but also interbreeding between different species. Using 14 nuclear microsatellites and three different methods (the Bayesian assignment approaches of STRUCTURE and NEWHYBRIDS and a principal coordinate analysis of pairwise genetic distances), we analyzed 375 individuals belonging to three species of whiskered bats (genus Myotis) at swarming sites across their sympatric range in southern Poland. The overall hybridization rate varied from 3.2 to 7.2%. At the species level, depending on the method used, these values ranged from 2.1–4.6% in M. mystacinus and 3.0– 3.7% in M. brandtii to 6.5–30.4% in M. alcathoe. Hybrids occurred in about half of the caves we studied. In all three species, the sex ratio of hybrids was biased towards males but the observed differences did not differ statistically from those noted at the population level. In our opinion, factors leading to the formation of these admixed individuals and their relatively high frequency are: i) swarming behaviour at swarming sites, where high numbers of bats belonging to several species meet; ii) male-biased sex ratio during the swarming period; iii) the fact that all these bats are generally polygynous.
