Abstract
The taxonomic status of the springsnails B. viridis, B. carinulata and B. lancelevei remains unclear despite the molecular evidence data provided by Benke et al. (2009). Based on extensive sampling and the analysis of COI, 16S, 28S and ITS genes, we investigate analyze the genetic variability of Bythinella populations sampled within the area of occurrence of the three nominal taxa. Topotypic populations of B. lancelevei and B. viridis cannot could not be distinguished. Some of the populations included in the putative area of distribution range of B. carinulata form distinct supported clades, but these distinct clades are not monophyletic and the overall genetic divergence is less than the 3% barcoding gap for species of the genus the barcoding gap of c.a. 3% for Bythinella species. Therefore, we propose to synonymize these three nominal species under the name B. viridis (Poiret, 1801). Our results have important conservation implications, as they significantly expand the range of the protected species B. viridis. This species should be considered in impact studies in a large northeastern quarter of France.
期刊介绍:
Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems (KMAE-Bulletin Français de la Pêche et de la Pisciculture since 1928) serves as a foundation for scientific advice across the broad spectrum of management and conservation issues related to freshwater ecosystems.
The journal publishes articles, short communications, reviews, comments and replies that contribute to a scientific understanding of freshwater ecosystems and the impact of human activities upon these systems. Its scope includes economic, social, and public administration studies, in so far as they are directly concerned with the management of freshwater ecosystems (e.g. European Water Framework Directive, USA Clean Water Act, Canadian Water Quality Guidelines, …) and prove of general interest to freshwater specialists. Papers on insular freshwater ecosystems and on transitional waters are welcome. KMAE is not a preferred journal for taxonomical, physiological, biological, toxicological studies, unless a clear link to ecological aspects can be established. Articles with a very descriptive content can be accepted if they are part of a broader ecological context.
