Organisms provide some of the most sensitive indicators climate change and evolutionary responses are becoming apparent in species with short generation times. Large datasets on genetic polymorphism that can an historical benchmark against which to test for recent very rare, but exception is found brown-lipped banded snail (Cepaea nemoralis). This its thermal environment exhibits several polymorphisms shell colour banding pattern affecting albedo majority populations within native range...
Five species of the subgenus Lovcenia Cochlostoma (Cochlostomatidae) are recognized, three which described as new to science: C. (L.) tropojanum sp. nov., jakschae nov. and lanatum A lectotype is designated for erika (A.J. Wagner, 1906). The shell genital tracts all distributional data summarized.
Virpazaria Gittenberger, 1969 is distributed in the Balkan Peninsula (Albania, Montenegro and Croatia) inhabits shallow subterranean habitat (MSS) on limestone base rock. Reviewing historical recently collected material, two species, (Virpazaria) gittenbergeri Fehér & Erőss sp. nov. pesici Deli nov., are introduced as new to science. The conservation status of species assessed using IUCN criteria. Two taxa, pageti alexanderi Reischütz Subai, 2012 (Aemiliella) ripkeni pastorpueri et al.,...
Five species of the subgenus Clessiniella Cochlostoma (Cochlostomatidae) are recognized, viz. (Clessiniella) villae (Strobel, 1851), tergestinum (Westerlund, 1878), waldemari (A.J. Wagner, 1897), anomphale Boeckel, 1939 and stelucarum sp. nov. The shells genitalia described distributional data summarized for all species.
During systematic surveys of groundwater snails in Slovakia, Hungary and Bosnia Hercegovina two new species the genus Hauffenia, H. lozekiana sp. nov. from a single locality steffeki with small range were discovered are here described based on shell morphology, anatomy DNA sequence data (COI, 16S rRNA, ITS2). The discovery extends considerably towards south. Hauffenia appears to be relict surviving within today widely distributed kissdalmae. Based time tree, we developed scenario for origin...
Abstract: The preservation of biodiversity requires high‐quality data and efficient methods for prioritizing species sites conservation. We examined the distribution 121 Hungarian land snail in a 10 × km resolution grid system. spatial consistency set varied significantly among regions, so we excluded cells with <5 species. Thus used from 512 out 1052 cells. prioritized based on an additive scoring index ranging 2 to which higher scores indicate rarer included global range size, local...
Abstract In Europe, at least two Corbicula morphs (generally referred as C. fluminea and fluminalis ) are known. However, their taxonomic systematic position is controversial. order to ascertain taxonomy systematics, we studied characteristics in River Danube. Morphometric analysis confirmed the existence of distinguishable morphs. Based on mtCOI sequence, morph‐1 identical , while morph‐2 an undefined species. According median joining analysis, belongs clade, whereas forms a distinct which...
The phylogenetic relationships among genera of the subfamily Ariantinae (Pulmonata, Helicidae), especially sister-group relationship Cylindrus obtusus, were investigated with three mitochondrial (12S rRNA, 16S Cytochrome c oxidase subunit I) and two nuclear marker genes (Histone H4 H3). Within Ariantinae, C. obtusus stands out because its aberrant cylindrical shell shape. Here, we present trees based on these five sequences discuss position phylogeographical scenarios in comparison...
The present paper revises all species that have been assigned to Pseudopomatias Möllendorff, 1885 and Nodopomatias Gude, 1921. following new are described: abletti Páll-Gergely, n. sp. (northeastern India), harli linanprietoae Páll-Gergely (Laos), maasseni & Hunyadi, (Vietnam China), nitens (Vietnam), prestoni reischuetzi Páll-Ger-gely, (north-eastern shanensis (Myanmar) sophiae (Vietnam). fulvus is moved the synonymy of P. amoenus. Csomapupa gen. erected for grandis luyorensis. Another...
The limnic bivalve genus Corbicula Megerle von Mühlfeld, 1811 is a hyper‐invasive neozoon in North and South America as well Europe, where currently some taxa are rapidly extending their range. In addition to its extraordinarily invasive potential, the ‘Asiatic clam’ remarkable for recently discovered wide spectrum of reproductive strategies comprising oviparity, ovoviviparity euviviparity. It renders an ideal model studying evolutionary transformations features, particular with respect...
Whereas the vast majority of gastropods possess dextral shell and body organization, members Clausiliidae family are almost exclusively sinistral. Within this group a unique feature alpine genus Alopia is comparable representation sinistral taxa, existence enantiomorph taxon pairs that appear to differ only in their chirality. We carried out molecular phylogenetic study, using mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene sequences, order find whether chiral inversions more...
During a field trip to the western part of Balkan Peninsula in 2016, investigations several caves and karstic springs revealed six new gastropod species living subterranean waters resulted some noteworthy faunistic records. Five are assigned genus Paladilhiopsis Pavlović, 1913, namely P. prekalensis sp. n., lozeki szekeresi wohlberedti falniowskii n. one Plagigeyeria Tomlin, 1930, steffeki New Albania Kosovo distribution records given for Iglica illyrica Schütt, 1975, zetaprotogona 1960,...
Two slug species (Krynickillus melanocephalus Kaleniczenko, 1851 and Tandonia kusceri (H. Wagner, 1931)) are reported from Hungary for the first time. Identification was supported by anatomical examination in both, molecular data latter species. A citizen science survey applying a Realtime Social Networking Service (RSNS) method using Facebook posts revealed that both already widespread Hungary, i.e. Krynickillus is 14 25 sites. So far, we received no reports on any damage caused these two...
Abstract Aim Taxon co‐occurrence analysis is commonly used in ecology, but it has not been applied to range‐wide distribution data of partly allopatric taxa because existing methods cannot differentiate between distribution‐related effects and taxon interactions. Our first aim was develop a method that also capable taking into account the effect species ranges can handle faunistic records from museum databases or biodiversity inventories. second test independence co‐occurrences rock‐dwelling...
A short overview of subterranean Balkan hydrobid genera, with special focus on genus Bythiospeum Bourguignat, 1892 and Iglica A.J. Wagner, 1928 is given. In addition, based recently collected material in Montenegro (Vitoja Spring) Albania (Krumë), five new species are described, namely: Bracenica vitojaensis n. sp., Islamia montenegrina Lanzaia pesici szarowskae sp. Pseudamnicola krumensis The holotypes paratypes depicted. addition a re-description gittenbergeri (A. & P.L. Reischütz,...
The Corbiculidae Gray, 1847, is a group of limnic clams considerable ecological and evolutionary potential. Among them, some freshwater species Corbicula Megerle von Mühlfeld, 1811, are hyper-invasive neozoon in North South America as well Europe where currently taxa rapidly extending their range rendering them special importance. Next to the extraordinary invasive potential "Asiatic clam", corbiculids remarkable recently discovered wide spectrum reproductive strategies, including...
Abstract The little-known western Eurasian taxa of the Phaedusinae (land snail family Clausiliidae) are Tertiary relicts, which widely separated geographically from rest subfamily occurring in eastern Eurasia. In order to elucidate phylogenetic relationships this group, we carried out molecular analyses with 11 16 genera using nuclear gene sequences. Our results revealed that within subfamily, Nothoserrulina and Pamphylica, together Caspiophaedusa, Dobatia, Pravispira, Serrulina, belong a...
Abstract Expertise in biodiversity research (taxonomy, faunistics, conservation with taxonomic background) appears to decline worldwide. While the “taxonomic impediment” is discussed extensively literature, much fewer papers focus on identification crisis, i.e., decreasing number of experts who can identify species, and species-based research. As a test case explore gravity we chose Hungary, Central European country strong history comprehensive expertise output. We set out answer two main...
Existing data on the phylogeography of European taxa steppic provenance suggests that species were widely distributed during glacial periods but underwent range contraction and fragmentation interglacials into "warm-stage refugia." Among steppe-related invertebrates have been examined, majority has insects, snails is wholly missing. To begin to fill this gap, phylogeographic niche modeling studies presumed snail Caucasotachea vindobonensis conducted. Surprisingly, reconstruction ancestral...
