Knowledge about the conservation status of a species is crucial for its protection in long run. It provides insights into geographic range, population size and trend, which are useful management activities towards safeguarding future species. The idle crayfish, Austropotamobius bihariensis, recently described crayfish that has not yet undergone full assessment. Here, we present our extensive 13-year study aimed to fill this gap by investigating monitoring species' entire occurrence range...
Sulfidic caves support diverse and abundant subterranean communities, including numerous endemic species complex food webs, though the full extent of diversity resource utilization in these ecosystems remains largely unexplored. This paper presents results biological surveys conducted from 2023 to 2024 Sulfur Cave, located Vromoner Canyon on Greek–Albanian border, focusing microbial, vertebrate, invertebrate communities investigating structure web. The microbial different biofilms are...
Scolelepis neglecta Surugiu, 2016 is a polychaete species that was described from the Cantabrian coast of Asturias (northern Spain) based only on anterior fragments museum collections. Recently collected live material S. intertidal muddy sand flats Villaviciosa estuary (Asturias, Bay Biscay, northern Spain), has enabled us to report some new, previously unknown morphological characters, such as shape pygidium, shape, number and distribution notopodial hooded hooks, assess validity by means...
Lucanus cervus (Linnaeus, 1758) is one of the largest Coleoptera species in Europe and most recognizable. It a saproxylic living woodlands wooded urban habitats spending its larval stages inside tree trunks below or near soil level, feeding on decaying wood. The stag beetle has wide distribution covering entire up to Ural Mountains. In this paper, we attempted describe diversity genetic structure L. populations Romania using NADH mitochondrial molecular marker. We identified 36 haplotypes...
Labidostomma motasi Iavorschi, 1992 was discovered and described from a single female in the newly hypoxic sulfidic, ancient isolated Movile Cave (Romania). Male specimens collected recently brought new data for description of this species. The morphology shows affinities close relation with species allied to L. integrum Berlese, 1911 which is distributed all around Mediterranean Basin Asia. As representatives family are also known Baltic Amber (more than 40 My), blind first attests probable...
Biological nitrogen fixation by rhizobia-nodulated legumes reduces the dependence on synthetic fertilizers. Identification of locally adapted rhizobia may uncover economically valuable strains for sustainable agriculture. This study investigated diversity and symbiotic potential associated with three Medicago species from Eastern Romania’s ecosystems. Phenotypic screening ensured that only rhizobial were retained molecular characterization. 16S rDNA sequencing clustered isolates into four...
The book contains the abstracts and program of international zoological congress ZOOLOGYCON 2024, organized by Grigore Antipa Museum held in Bucharest, Romania from 6th to 9th November 2024.
This study presents the first data on distribution of Mediterranean medicinal leech Hirudo verbana in Romania, as well molecular characterization Romanian populations, using mitochondrial DNA markers. In total, 133 specimens from 19 populations Romania were surveyed for COI and 12S Available GenBank sequences other localities throughout Europe included to place a broader phylogeographical context. The H. samples belong 23 haplotypes, 4 which are previously known Serbia Ukraine, while...
The genus Trichoniscus (Isopoda: Oniscidea) consists of 103 different species, according to Encyclopedia Life (2024), spreading over the entirety European continent and parts North America. Most species in this live upper layers soil, while some are subterranean, living caves anthropic underground cavities, such as mines tunnels.
