It may, therefore, be valuable for large regional models to be developed as a good preliminary assessment of the major factors affecting the biological condition of streams in a geographic region as long as the range in natural landscape variability (e.g., climate, slope, elevation) can be minimized. The regional models can then be tested and compared against small subregional or watershed models to determine whether there is a large enough improvement in model performance or variable specificity to justify the general application of regional models or more specificity is need from local models.” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3968005/pdf/pone.0090944.pdf 32 33 Region Index Split by Bioregion 34 Region vs. Bioregion Northern Central Appalachians (NCA) 35 Region vs. Bioregion Upper Northern Piedmont (UNP) 36 Region vs. Bioregion Southern Ridge and Valley (SRV) 37 Influence of Season 38 Influence of Season 39 Table M-2.

HOLT m SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 142 SERIAL PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION The emphasis upon publications as a means of diffusing knowledge was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. In his formal plan for the Insti- tution, Joseph Henry articulated a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This keynote of basic research has been adhered to over the years in the issuance of thousands of titles in serial publications under the Smithsonian imprint, com- mencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Annals of Flight Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes original articles and monographs dealing with the research and collections of its several museums and offices and of professional colleagues at other institutions of learning. These papers report newly acquired facts, synoptic interpretations of data, or original theory in specialized fields. These pub- lications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, laboratories, and other interested institutions and specialists throughout the world.

    Ann. Limnol. - Int. J. Lim. 2006, 42 (4), 251-260 Occurrence of Branchiobdellida (Annelida : Clitellata) on freshwater crayfish in Croatia G.I.V. Klobucar√1*, I. Maguire1, S. Gottstein1, S. R. Gelder2 1 Department of Zoology, Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb, Rooseveltov trg 6, 10000 Zagreb, Croatia 2 Department of Science and Math, University of Maine at Presque Isle, 181 Maine Street, Maine 04769, USA There is very little information on the genus Branchiobdella and the species relationships with their freshwater crayfish hosts in Croatia. Therefore, a base-line study was needed so that future changes in available habitat brought about by urban development and the probable introduction of non-native species can be accurately assessed. This investigation used preserved freshwater crayfish collected from across Croatia between 1995 and 2005 as its source of the ectosymbionts. Crayfish species included Astacus astacus, A. leptodactylus, Austropotamobius pallipes, A. torrentium, and the allochtonous North American species, Orconectes limosus. Only native European species of branchiobdellids were found: Branchiobdella astaci, B. parasita, B. pentodonta, B. hexodonta, B. italica, and B. balcanica, and this is the first report on the occurrence of these species, apart from B. italica, in Croatia. The distribution of these branchiobdellidans is compared with climatic and river drainage systems, and literature reports of populations in other countries in the region. Keywords: Branchiobdellidans, distribution, epibionts, freshwater crayfish, Croatia. Introduction stated the name balcanica due to its seniority over Pop’s (1965) proposed orientalis. At the higher taxonomic Branchiobdellidans are ectosymbiotic clitellate anne- level we have followed the common naming convention lids living primarily on freshwater astacoidean crayfish used in Brinkhurst and Gelder (2001) that uses bran- (Brinkhurst & Gelder 2001).

    Atp8 Is in the Ground Pattern of Flatworm Mitochondrial Genomes Bernhard Egger1* , Lutz Bachmann2 and Bastian Fromm3

    Egger et al. BMC Genomics (2017) 18:414 DOI 10.1186/s12864-017-3807-2 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Atp8 is in the ground pattern of flatworm mitochondrial genomes Bernhard Egger1* , Lutz Bachmann2 and Bastian Fromm3 Abstract Background: To date, mitochondrial genomes of more than one hundred flatworms (Platyhelminthes) have been sequenced. They show a high degree of similarity and a strong taxonomic bias towards parasitic lineages. The mitochondrial gene atp8 has not been confidently annotated in any flatworm sequenced to date. However, sampling of free-living flatworm lineages is incomplete. We addressed this by sequencing the mitochondrial genomes of the two small-bodied (about 1 mm in length) free-living flatworms Stenostomum sthenum and Macrostomum lignano as the first representatives of the earliest branching flatworm taxa Catenulida and Macrostomorpha respectively. Results: We have used high-throughput DNA and RNA sequence data and PCR to establish the mitochondrial genome sequences and gene orders of S. sthenum and M. lignano. The mitochondrial genome of S. sthenum is 16,944 bp long and includes a 1,884 bp long inverted repeat region containing the complete sequences of nad3, rrnS, and nine tRNA genes. The model flatworm M. lignano has the smallest known mitochondrial genome among free- living flatworms, with a length of 14,193 bp. The mitochondrial genome of M. lignano lacks duplicated genes, however, tandem repeats were detected in a non-coding region. Mitochondrial gene order is poorly conserved in flatworms, only a single pair of adjacent ribosomal or protein-coding genes – nad4l-nad4 – was found in S. sthenum and M.

Although symbiotic fauna may influence the impact and dispersal of introduced species, this is often overlooked. Here we provide the first record of non-native ecto-symbiotic branchiobdellidan worms on invasive signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus Dana, 1852) in the British Isles. Using morphological and molecular techniques we identified and re-described two branchiobdellidan species new to the UK, Xironogiton victoriensis Gelder and Hall, 1990 and Cambarincola aff. okadai Yamaguchi, 1933, both of which were found at a single location in the Gavenny River, South Wales. The prevalence of X. victoriensis and C. aff. okadai was 75.34% and 71.23% respectively. Although the level of X.

The male gamete of A. sigani exhibits the general morphology described in digeneans with the presence of two axonemes of different lengths showing the 9 + ‘‘1’’ pattern of the Trepaxonemata, a nucleus, two mitochondria, two bundles of parallel cor- tical microtubules, external ornamentation, spine-like bodies and granules of glycogen.
