Salvador, and Michael W. Rasser With 6 figures Abstract: The Middle Miocene silvana-beds outcropping at the southern margin of the Swabian Alb bear a wide array of terrestrial and freshwater gastropods. Especially in the surroundings of the Emerberg and Tautschbuch hills, there are records of several collection sites. In the present work, we investigated material from the historical localities from these two regions, housed in museum collec- tions, in order to provide an updated check list, synthesizing the knowledge of the region in the hopes to spur renewed interest. In total, we report 14 freshwater and 50 land snail species from the area, but not all species reported in the literature could be confirmed.

This meeting brought together over 80 scientists from 19 countries on four continents (Europe, and Co-chairs . 34 North America, South America, and Australia). Representation from the United States was rather low, Parting Shot . 35 but that was expected, as several other meetings on freshwater molluscs were held in the USA earlier in the year. Ellipsaria Vol. 17 - No. 4 December 2015 The First International Meeting on Biology and Conservation of Freshwater Bivalves was held in Bragança, Portugal, in 2012. That meeting was organized by Manuel Lopes-Lima and his colleagues from several academic institutions in Portugal. In addition to being a research scientist with the University of Porto, Portugal, Manuel is the IUCN Coordinator of the Red List Authority on Freshwater Bivalves. The goal of the first meeting was to create a network of international experts in biology and conservation of freshwater bivalves to develop collaborative projects and global directives for their protection and conservation. The Bragança meeting was very productive in uniting freshwater mussel biologists from European countries with their colleagues in North and South America. The meeting format did not include concurrent sessions, which allowed everyone to attend to every talk and all of the plenary talks by leading scientists.

Kobayashi Issa-ren haikua To the little things that run the world Esker onak Acknowledgements Tesi bat ez da pertsona bakar batena, bidean zehar laguntzen duten pertsona guztiei esker sortutako lana da eta, beraz, lehen orriek haien laguntza eskertzeko izan behar dute: En primer lugar me gustaría agradecer a mis directores, Benjamín Gómez-Moliner y María José Madeira. A Benjamín, por darme la oportunidad de entrar en el grupo de investigación y confiar en que podría realizar esta tesis. Gracias por compartir tus extensos conocimientos y por descubrirme el mundo de la malacología, que sin duda no habría encontrado por mi cuenta y ha resultado de lo más interesante. A Marijo, porque desde el principio y hasta el final has estado siempre ahí para guiarme, animarme y para ayudarme en todo lo que hiciese falta pero, sobre todo, por mostrarme que es posible compaginar este trabajo con una vida fuera de él.

    Anisus Vorticulus (Troschel 1834) (Gastropoda: Planorbidae) in Northeast Germany

    JOURNAL OF CONCHOLOGY (2013), VOL.41, NO.3 389 SOME ECOLOGICAL PECULIARITIES OF ANISUS VORTICULUS (TROSCHEL 1834) (GASTROPODA: PLANORBIDAE) IN NORTHEAST GERMANY MICHAEL L. ZETTLER Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research Warnemünde, Seestr. 15, D-18119 Rostock, Germany Abstract During the EU Habitats Directive monitoring between 2008 and 2010 the ecological requirements of the gastropod species Anisus vorticulus (Troschel 1834) were investigated in 24 different waterbodies of northeast Germany. 117 sampling units were analyzed quantitatively. 45 of these units contained living individuals of the target species in abundances between 4 and 616 individuals m-2. More than 25.300 living individuals of accompanying freshwater mollusc species and about 9.400 empty shells were counted and determined to the species level. Altogether 47 species were identified. The benefit of enhanced knowledge on the ecological requirements was gained due to the wide range and high number of sampled habitats with both obviously convenient and inconvenient living conditions for A. vorticulus. In northeast Germany the amphibian zones of sheltered mesotrophic lake shores, swampy (lime) fens and peat holes which are sun exposed and have populations of any Chara species belong to the optimal, continuously and densely colonized biotopes. The cluster analysis emphasized that A. vorticulus was associated with a typical species composition, which can be named as “Anisus-vorticulus-community”. In compliance with that both the frequency of combined occurrence of species and their similarity in relative abundance are important. The following species belong to the “Anisus-vorticulus-community” in northeast Germany: Pisidium obtusale, Pisidium milium, Pisidium pseudosphaerium, Bithynia leachii, Stagnicola palustris, Valvata cristata, Bathyomphalus contortus, Bithynia tentaculata, Anisus vortex, Hippeutis complanatus, Gyraulus crista, Physa fontinalis, Segmentina nitida and Anisus vorticulus.
