The fish genera Gasterosteus, Hucho, Oxynoemacheilus, Salmo, and Schizothorax are examples of these groups among vertebrates, and the genera Magnibursatus (Trematoda), Margaritifera, Potomida, Microcondylaea, Leguminaia, Unio (Mollusca), and Phagocata (Planaria), among invertebrates. There is reason to believe that their ancestors spread to Europe through the Paratethys (or the proto-Paratethys basin that preceded it), where intense speciation took place and new genera of aquatic organisms arose. Some of the forms that originated in the Paratethys colonized the Mediterranean, and overwhelming data indicate that Citation: Artamonova, V.S.; Bolotov, representatives of the genera Salmo, Caspiomyzon, and Ecrobia migrated during the Miocene from I.N.; Vinarski, M.V.; Makhrov, A.A. -

En 2012, y por primera vez para Urdaibai y la costa vasca, se constata la reproducción de cigüeñuela en la laguna de Orueta, en el municipio de Gautegiz-Arteaga (Bizkaia). En particular, una pareja fue capaz de sacar adelante 3 pollos. • PALABRAS CLAVE: Cantábrico, Gautegiz-Arteaga, humedales, limícolas, marismas costeras. ABSTRACT The common stilt Himantopus himantopus L., 1758 has colonized the coast along northern Spain recently (it bred for the first time in 2009 in Asturias and Cantabria). In 2012, and for the first time at Urdaibai and the Basque coast, one pair bred successfully in the Orueta lagoon, within the municipality of Gautegiz-Arteaga (Bizkaia).

Institute of Oceanographic Sciences, Brook Road, Wormley, Surrey GU8 SUB ABSTRACT The distribution of Mesozoic basins around the margins of the North Atlantic has been summarised, and is discussed in terms of a new earliest Cretaceous palaeogeographic reconstruction for the North Atlantic area. The Late Triassic-Early Jurassic rift basins of Iberia, offshore eastern Canada and the continental shelf of western Europe are seen to be the fragments of a formerly coherent NE trending rift system which probably formed as a result of tensional stress between Europe, Africa and North America. The separation of Europe, North America and Iberia was preceded by a Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous rifting phase which is clearly distinct from the earlier Mesozoic rifting episode and was little influenced by it. -
