Abstract:
... A summary of published and unpublished data on the stratigraphy of the early Middle Pleistocene of the Southern Urals region is presented in this paper. It follows previous reviews about the characteristics of the Pleistocene deposits of the easternmost part of Europe. Deposits of different origin, which constitute the regional stratigraphic units, are characterized. Mammalian data form the base f ...

2. Variation of Snail Assemblages in Hay Meadows: Disentangling the Predictive Power of Abiotic Environment and Vegetation

Author:
Dvořáková, Jana; Horsák, Michal
Source:
Malacologia 2012 v.55 no.1 pp. 151-162
ISSN:
0076-2997
Subject:
Mollusca; botanical composition; calcium; climatic factors; correspondence analysis; highlands; meadows; snails; soil; variance; water content; Czech Republic
Abstract:
... We studied snail assemblages at 39 plots in hay meadows of the White Carpathians, Czech Republic. We recorded snails quantitatively in 1 m² quadrats, along with vegetation and several measured variables in the same plots in order to investigate the influence of selected environmental factors on meadow snail species composition and richness. The study aimed to determine the extent to which it is po ...

3. Biodiversity of soft-sediment benthic communities from Italian transitional waters

Author:
Munari, Cristina; Mistri, Michele
Source:
Journal of biogeography 2008 v.35 no.9 pp. 1622-1637
ISSN:

Subject:
fauna; Crustacea; ecoregions; linear models; benthic organisms; data collection; Mollusca; habitats; regression analysis; latitude; species diversity; Annelida; climatic factors; biogeography; macroinvertebrates
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 ...

4. Quantitative studies on some living British wetland mollusc faunas

Author:
BISHOP, M. J.
Source:
Biological journal of the Linnean Society 1981 v.15 no.4 pp. 299-326
ISSN:
0024-4066
Subject:
Mollusca; climatic factors; fauna; fens; flora; fossils; grasslands; habitats; highlands; mixing; molluscs; rare species; sediments; woodlands; Scotland
Abstract:
... The work described here provides a quantitative basis for die interpretation of fossil assemblages of Mollusca from wetland habitats. Wetlands were sampled for living Mollusca in East Anglia (including an intensive study at Wicken Fen) and Scotland. Within the limited geographical area of Wicken Fen, the mollusc fauna may be used to predict the vegetation and hence to reconstruct the environment. ...
