Abstract:
... Aequipecten techuelchus is an endemic scallop of the Argentine biogeographic province in the southwest Atlantic Ocean which supports a commercial fishery that has presented strong fluctuations since the 1960s. It is unclear if distinct localities constitute a single panmictic population. We used next-generation sequencing to obtain microsatellite loci that could be used to evaluate genetic diversi ...

Abstract:
... Areas of the Knysna estuarine bay in the Western Cape are dominated by three endemic South African truncatelloid microgastropods, temporarily known as ‘Hydrobia’ knysnaensis (Krauss), ‘Assiminea’ capensis (Sowerby) and ‘Assiminea’ globulus Connolly. Although first described 80–170 years ago and present in abundance (up to 100,000 m⁻²), they remain surrounded by confusion and still await taxonomic ...

Abstract:
... AIMS: The aim was to identify the main drivers of aquatic macroinvertebrate species richness in spring‐fen habitats (i.e. groundwater seepage wetlands) because these habitats are among the most threatened temperate biodiversity hotspots. LOCATION: Isolated spring fens in the western Carpathian Mountains. METHODS: Assemblages of Tricladida, Clitellata, Mollusca, Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Trichopte ...

Abstract:
... The phylogenetic relationships of the ciliate subclass Peritrichia, composed of the orders Mobilida and Sessilida, have recently come under debate as morphological and molecular analyses have struck contrasting conclusions as to the monophyly of the group. We provide additional molecular data to assess the monophyly of the Peritrichia by sequencing the small subunit ribosomal RNA genes of two symb ...

Abstract:
... A comprehensive review of benthic macrofaunal studies conducted along the west coasts of Korea over the last 40 years has been made by providing the most updated checklist of the Korean marine benthic invertebrates. Tidal flats were the very habitat of interest with inclusion of subtidal areas. As part of review, a critical re-identification of taxa is provided together with the analysis of faunal ...

Abstract:
... Disturbance in habitat complexity and niche availability affect competitive interactions between faunal species which may result in their extinction. This study was conducted to assess the conservation value of four a priori selected sites, A: ‘minimally disturbed natural forest patch’, B: ‘herbaceous grassland patch’, C: ‘road verge patch’ and D: ‘highly disturbed natural forest patch’ using epig ...

Abstract:
... The Madrean Archipelago Biological Assessment (MABA) “bioblitz” expedition to Sierra de la Madera (Oposura) near Moctezuma, Sonora, Mexico from 29 July—7 August 2010 included a land snail inventory. Five people searched for both macro- and microsnails in five sites in foothills thornscrub, oak woodland, and pine-oak forest (1225–2080 m elevation) and found 347 individuals of 18 species or forms.

Abstract:
... For conservation purposes, it is important to understand the forces that shape biodiversity in transitional waters (TWs) and to evaluate the effects of small-scale latitudinal changes. To this end, we analysed data on soft-sediment macroinvertebrates from nine Italian TWs in order to (1) investigate the structure and distribution of the benthic fauna and their relationships with environmental and ...

ISSN:

Subject:
Mollusca; biogeography; conservation status; indigenous species; magnetic resonance imaging; monitoring; protected species; snails; Hungary
Abstract:
... Legal instruments for species conservation have been criticised because they take a long time to draw up and implement and because invertebrates are highly underrepresented. For these reasons legal documents need regular re-evaluation as more data and effective methods are available. The effectiveness of the Hungarian legislative texts was assessed by the congruence between protection status and c ...
