Grove Kanunnah Enquiries Paper Appendix What bugs Tasmanians? An enquiry into TMAG’s Invertebrate Enquiries database. Dr Simon Grove, Senior Curator of Invertebrates, Zoology Unit, Rosny Collections and Research Facility, TMAG Appendix 1. The 438 taxa that were the subject of taxon-focused invertebrate enquiries to TMAG over the period 2005-2011 (n = 1084). For each taxon, figures are provided separately for the number of enquiries concerning identification and information. Taxa are listed in order of descending number of enquiries per taxonomic group, first at the level of phylum, then class within phylum, order within class, family within order, and finally species within family. The epithet “ud.” signifies “undifferentiated” and refers to a taxon whose identity was resolved no further than the taxonomic level to which the epithet has been applied, regardless of whether or not the taxon in question contains multiple lower-level taxa. Note that not all taxa are found in Tasmania. Identification Information ARTHROPODA - ARACHNIDA - ARANEAE Araneae ud. Araneae ud. Spiders 9 24 Lycosidae Lycosidae sp.

ZooKeys 581: 127–140. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.581.8044 Abstract Bothriembryon sophiarum sp. n. is described, based on shell and anatomical morphology, from the coastal area of south-easternmost Western Australia. This is the first description of a new extant Australian bo- thriembryontid in 33 years. The shell of B. sophiarum is slender with a unique teleoconch sculpture. It is found in low coastal scrub on cliff edges and escarpments and because of its restricted distribution, qualifies as a short range endemic. Keywords Western Australia, Orthalicoidea, ecology, anatomy, micro-CT Introduction Along with the diverse and generally more northern and eastern Camaenidae, the en- demic Australian genus Bothriembryon (Bothriembryontidae) forms a large and charac- teristic component of the Australian terrestrial molluscan fauna, particularly in Western Australia (Iredale 1939; Kershaw 1985; Solem 1998).

Online serial at <http://mollusca.sav.sk> 16-Sep-2008. This paper brings a contribution to the distribution of genus Stagnicola Jeffreys, 1830 and Catascopia Meier- Brook & Bargues, 2002 in the Czech Republic. Occurrence of four species has been confirmed in the Czech Republic so far. Two species – Stagnicola corvus (Gmelin, 1791) and S. palustris (O.F. Müller, 1774) (including S. turricula (Held, 1836)), are widespread and common especially in lowlands along bigger rivers (Labe, Ohře, Morava, Dyje, Odra). Occurrence of S. fuscus (Pfeiffer, 1821) is restricted to the territory of the north-western part of Bohemia and Catascopia occulta (Jackiewicz, 1959) is a rare species with only two known sites.

In order to gain the first quantitative insight into this behaviour, we have quantified the proportion of individuals bearing egg clutches in a long-term monospecific outdoor laboratory culture of L. stagnalis during two consecutive late-summer months. The snails were assigned to size classes based on shell height. Differences between the size class composition of clutch-bearers and of the general population were statistically compared by means of Pearson’s distance χ²P analysis. Egg clutches were laid on snails of shell height >15 mm (i.e. reproductive-age individuals), with significant selection for the larger size classes (shell height 25–40 mm). While the mechanisms of and reasons behind such behaviour remain unknown, selection of larger adults as egg-carriers may have ecological implications at the population level.

The same results showed that Stagnicola palustris (O. F. Müll.) and S. turricula (Held) could also be treated as separate species, but compared to the aforementioned lymnaeids, the differences in the analysed sequences between them were much smaller, although clearly recognisable. In each case they were also larger than the differences between these molecular features of specimens from different localities of S. palustris or S. turricula. New data on the distribution of S. palustris and S. turricula in Poland showed – in contrast to the earlier reports – that their ranges overlapped. This sympatric distribution together with the small but clearly marked differences in molecular features as well as with differences in the male genitalia between S.

    Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Species List What is the summary for and where does it come from? This list has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. The list was produced using the AustralianAustralian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. For each family of plant and animal covered by ANHAT (Appendix 1), this document gives the number of species in the country and how many of them are found in the region. It also identifies species listed as Vulnerable, Critically Endangered, Endangered or Conservation Dependent under the EPBC Act. A biodiversity summary for this region is also available. For more information please see: www.environment.gov.au/heritage/anhat/index.html Limitations • ANHAT currently contains information on the distribution of over 30,000 Australian taxa. This includes all mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and fish, 137 families of vascular plants (over 15,000 species) and a range of invertebrate groups. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are notnot included included in in the the list. list. • The data used come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect. All species names have been confirmed as valid species names, but it is not possible to confirm all species locations.

The availability of complete mitogenomes Citation: Solà E, Álvarez-Presas M, Frías-López C, from Platyhelminthes is limited; of the 40 or so published most are from parasitic flatworms Littlewood DTJ, Rozas J, Riutort M (2015) (Neodermata).

Its populations are very scattered and poor in individuals. This picture was taken in the Forêt de Muracciole in Central Corsica, an occurrence which was known since the end of the 19th century, but was completely destroyed by a heavy man-made forest fire in 2000.
