Herein, based on morphological and molecular analyses, we provide important new records for two of these species. N. potamophilus, previously known from the eastern Azov Sea lowlands, is reported for the first time from Ukraine and Bulgaria from localities adjacent to the Black Sea. These findings expand its range westward by more than 1000 km along the coastline. From Bulgaria, we also report for the first time N. hrabei, a species previously known to occur along the middle and lower Danube lowlands and in isolated populations at the foothills of the Northern Caucasus. Our new record thus extends its range southwards by more than 150 km. Both species contained unique haplotypes at all of the sampled localities. These were, nevertheless, not very divergent from more distant populations, emphasizing their good dispersal ability. Ecologically, the sampling localities were generally characterized by stagnant to low running water, dense vegetation, and muddy substrate. Overall, our results bring important insights, shedding more light on the biogeography and ecology of Niphargus.","PeriodicalId":56040,"journal":{"name":"European Zoological Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46341174","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we describe, for the first time, the diet of the European hare from Mount Vesuvius, using DNA metabarcoding and high-throughput sequencing on DNA extracted from faecal pellets, a proxy for a population living in a volcanic environment. The DNA from pellets was first genetically assigned to European hare using high-resolution melting analysis. The diet of the hare on Vesuvius is mainly composed of herbaceous species belonging to Fabaceae (86.26% of total diet). The most frequent plant items ingested by the species are Galega officinalis and Lupinus angustifolius (67.10% of total diet), although these are detected only sporadically in the study area. Indeed, the spectrum of available plants also includes other easily accessible wild (i.e. Lolium sp., Bromus sp., Rumex sp.) and cultivated (i.e. Solanum lycopersicum, Cucumis melo, Pisum sativum) plant items, found only in traces in the diet of the hares. Our contribution adds information on the trophic ecology of the European hare, exploring its ability to live in an extreme environment. This could be useful to set a management strategy for conservation of the species, which is ecologically relevant on Vesuvius as prey for birds and mammals, as well as a vegetation modulator via selective grazing by endozoochory. Furthermore, our study represents the latest information on the diet of the hare living in an environment that no longer exists: an extensive fire destroyed about 80% of the woody area after our sampling. The post-fire regrowth is transforming the original environment and consequently the trophic availability for the European hare.

Its epidemical state can be determined as panzootic. The infectious agents are the microsporidia Nosema apis and N. ceranae. Numerous substances and preparations were tested in order to find a way to combat this disease. However, methodology used in artificial infection experiments is not unique; concentrations of N. ceranae spores in inoculum vary as well as the age of honey bees when they are infected. In addition, the disease itself is still relatively poorly understood. This makes the interpretation of such research difficult. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of bee age and inoculum concentration on the development of N. ceranae infection. Honeybee workers were collectively infected at the age of 2 and 10 days post-emergence with concentrations of 104, 5 × 104, and 105 spores/bee. While the results indicate a significant effect of both tested factors on the development of N. ceranae, the relationship is not simple, and age alters the pattern of nosemosis development in response to the given concentrations. Highlights The course and the effect of Nosema ceranae infection differed depending on bee age at the moment of infection. The development of the infection differed depending on concentration of N. ceranae spores in inoculum. Concentration of N. ceranae spores had an effect on mortality and syrup intake in 10-day-old bees.

We investigated Diaphanosoma individuals in 109 water bodies in Central Europe (mostly from Poland) by combining morphological analyses and molecular methods (mtDNA COI gene). Our research confirmed the presence of three other species - D. orghidani, D. mongolianum, and D. cf. lacustris.

The results of phylogenetic analysis based on 27 haplotypes of mtDNA COI gene lead to the same conclusion as morphology. Our genetic and morphological analysis confirms a close affinity between D. mongolianum and D. lacustris, as well as the presence of hybrids between these species.

In this context, Hermodice carunculata (Pallas, 1766) is a selective scavenger/carnivore polychaete species (known as a fireworm) that, in recent years, has exhibited a northern expansion along the whole basin, including the Italian coasts, and an increasing abundance in its southern areas. Here we report ecological data and fireworm abundances from two shallow stations of the Salento peninsula in the Ionian Sea (Lecce, Italy), characterized by different hydrodynamic exposure levels and structural communities. The observed densities by visual census in the years 2019–2021 (up to 18 ind./15 m2) document a striking shift compared to the past anecdotal reports of the rare occurrence of fireworms along the studied area. Additionally, their abundance seems to be driven by the substrate coverage; in fact, a higher density of fireworms was observed where the biodiversity is richer. Results from this study will serve as a baseline reference for future investigation of the invasiveness potential of a species that can act as a biological marker of ocean warming.","PeriodicalId":56040,"journal":{"name":"European Zoological Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44095243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
