The amplified partial mt-COI Department of Biotechnology, gene sequence using universal primers, LCO1490 and HCO2198 resulted into ~700 base pair DNA Vignan’s University (VFSTRU), Vadlamudi, Andhra Pradesh, fragment. The obtained nucleotide sequence of partial COI gene of T. lineata was submitted to BLAST India analysis and 36 close relative sequences of the chosen genera, Cerithioidea were derived. Maximum likelihood (ML) algorithm in-biuilt in RAxML software tool was used to estimate phylogenetic their affinities. The present analysis revealed that a single assemblage of the family Thiaridae supported by a bootstrap value of 96% is earmarked at the base of the derived cladogram as a cluster and emerged as a sister group with another four Cerithioideans. Our dataset brought add-on value to the current taxonomy of Thiaridae of the clade Sorbeconcha by clustering them as sister and non-sister groups indicating the virtual relations. Out of seven genera, Tarebia and Melanoides formed as primary and secondary clusters within the Thiaridae. The monophyly of Thiaridae and its conspecifics were depicted in the cladogram.

During the investigations, A.holandrii was recorded at 71 sampling sites located at 48 rivers. According to our data, the species is widely distributed within the investigated area. It was found to be the dominant snail species in the Drina River and some smaller rivers, while in the Danube the species was found to be rare and situated in a short stretch. As a widely distributed and frequent taxa in running waters situated in the hilly regions of Serbia, the species is suitable to be used in water monitoring for a particular group of stream types. Thus, it is important to further investigate the environmental factors that influence the distribution ofA. holandrii to get more reliable information in order to include this species more effectively in a system of assessment of ecological status in the country. Keywords: Amphimelania holandrii, distribution, Serbia, field research Introduction In this paper we present data of the most recent distribution (in the period 2009-2012) of Amphimelania holandrii (C.Pfeiffer, 1828), syn.

VINARSKI Saint-Petersburg State University, Universitetskaya Naberezhnaya, 7/9, 199034 Saint-Petersburg/Omsk State Pedagogical University, 14 Tukhachevskogo Emb., 644099 Omsk, Russian Federation (e-mail: [email protected]) ABSTRACT: The history of the species problem as applied to freshwater molluscs, from the beginning of scientific taxonomy to the present day, is outlined. Three main approaches to delineation of species boundaries (intuitive, conceptual, and operational) are discussed, with remarks on their practical usage in freshwater malacology. The central topic of the article is how malacologists changed their views on the essence of species category and the impact of these changes on the taxonomic practice. The opinions of some prominent and prolific workers in the field (Bourguignat, Kobelt, Hubendick, Starobogatov) are analysed as well as the debates around the theoretical foundations and practical results of the ‘Nouvelle École’ of the 19th century and the ‘comparatory’ systematics of the 20th century.

E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] RIASSUNTO Melanopsis etrusca è un gasteropode acquidulcicolo endemico della Toscana meridionale la cui distribuzione è lega- ta a sorgenti di acque termo-minerali. Nonostante sia inserita nell'allegato B della Legge Regionale 56/2000 e nella Red List dell’IUCN, le conoscenze sulla sua biologia erano del tutto inadeguate per intraprendere efficaci misure di conservazione a tutela delle sole 7 popolazioni rimaste. Il Museo di Storia Naturale dell’Università di Firenze, con il contributo della Regione Toscana, ha svolto un progetto di ricerca per acquisire informazioni sui requisiti ecologici della specie, sul suo reale status di conservazione e sulle relazioni che la legano al suo peculia- re ambiente al fine di sviluppare un efficace piano di tutela. Parole chiave: endemismo, conservazione, Toscana, Melanopsis etrusca. ABSTRACT To know to protect: the example of the mollusc Melanopsis etrusca. The gastropod Melanopsis etrusca is endemic to the southern Tuscany and its distribution is strictly related to thermo-mineral water springs.

Morrison Recent anatomical observations on the reproductive systems of certain so-called "melanian" fresh-water snails and their marine rela- tives have clarified to a remarkable degree the supergeneric relation- ships of these fresh-water forms. The family of Melanians, in the broad sense, is a biological ab- surdity. We have the anomaly of one fresh-water "family" of snails derived from or at least structurally identical in peculiar animal characters to and ancestrally related to three separate and distinct marine famiHes. On the other hand, the biological picture has been previously misunderstood largely because of the concurrent and convergent evolution of the three fresh-water groups, Pleuroceridae, Melanopsidae, and Thiaridae, from ancestors common to the marine families Cerithiidae, Modulidae, and Planaxidae, respectively. The family Melanopsidae is definitely known living only in Europe. At present, the exact placement of the genus Zemelanopsis Uving in fresh waters of New Zealand is uncertain, since its reproductive characters are as yet unknown. In spite of obvious differences in shape, the shells of the marine genus Modulus possess at least a well- indicated columellar notch of the aperture, to corroborate the biologi- cal relationship indicated by the almost identical female egg-laying structure in the right side of the foot of Modulus and Melanopsis. 273553—54 1 357 358 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM vol. los The family Pleuroceridae, fresh-water representative of the ancestral cerithiid stock, is now known to include species living in Africa, Asia, and the Americas.

De/. 2004 Area-analytical Zoogeographie classification of the family Melanopsidae (Gastropoda: Prosobranchia). by KÄROLY BÄBA, Szeged. Abstract This paper presents results of the area-analytical Zoogeographie classification for the freshwater gastropod family Melanopsidae following the methods created by DE LA IHN (1967) and DEVAI (1976). Keywords: Melanopsidae, area-analytical classification of Siberian elements. Western Palearctic elements, Western Asian elements, Holomediterranean elements. Introduction An area-analytical Zoogeographie classification has been carried out for the representatives of the gastropod family Melanopsidae following the methods of DEVAI (1976) based on the establishment of a classification system according to the refugial areas for freshwater Mollusks (Fig. 4). Material and Methods As a first step detailed distribution maps for the species of the family Melanopsidae were prepared. Then the species were classified according to their occurrences in the newly determined refugial areas after the methods presented in DEVAI (1976) and VARGA (1971) (Fig. 4). These are depicted on Fig. 1 and 2 in an order from east towards west. Faunalgroups The representatives of the family belong to the Siberian, Western Palearctic, Western Asian, and Holomediterranean fauna circles. The species Marstoniopsis scholtzi (SCHMIDT 1856) [syn: M.

  • 4 Ecological Status Characterisation 4.1
    4 ECOLOGICAL STATUS CHARACTERISATION 4.1 Introduction The aquatic community in rivers responds to both the effects of pollution and changes in hydro-morphology. The appearance and distribution of aquatic organisms in rivers is signifi- cantly influenced by the following criteria in particular: " flow conditions " habitat/substrate conditions and variation " chemical conditions of the aquatic medium (e.g. organic pollution/pollution of easily biodegradable matter, nutrient content, oxygen content, toxic substances) " temperature " transparency – since the availability of light is essential to primary producers (alge/macrophytes) as an energy source for photosynthesis Therefore, species composition and the frequency of benthic and planktic communities are used as the basis for the characterisation and assessment of the ecological status of rivers as laid down in the EU-Water Framework Directive. The qualitative and quantitative composition of the benthic aquatic communities in particular is determined on the one hand by longer-term, stable conditions and on the other hand by biologically critical modifications of the environment being repeated on a short-term basis. That is why the results of biological-ecological monitoring in a river stretch may differ from the chemical water analysis since the latter’s informative values are mostly episodic and only valid for the sampling date. The Joint Danube Survey (JDS), organised by the International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River, was launched to obtain comparable, reliable data concerning chemical and ecological water status for the whole longitudinal stretch of the Danube River. JDS provided a unique, first-time opportunity for scientists to get an overview of the planktic and benthic aquat- ic communities and assess the quality of habitat along the entire Danube stretch between Neu Ulm (river km 2581) and the last three sampling points in the Danube Delta arms (river km 12).
