Full textAbstract:
Published and unpublished records of epipelagic calycophoran siphonophores from around southern Africa were examined for zoogeographic structure. There is a close match between prevailing patterns of surface ocean circulation and zoogeography, which while similar to previous studies of intertidal taxa and euphausiids, is different from them in some key details. Separate subtropical provinces are associated with both the Angola and Agulhas Currents, and the latter system has a marked influence on the composition of (warm-temperate) assemblages along the south coast of South Africa. The nearshore waters in the Benguela upwelling ecosystem (cold temperate) are distinct, but the Lüderitz upwelling cell does not appear to act as an internal boundary within the Benguela ecosystem, as has been previously noted for benthic communities. Species richness is greater in oceanic than coastal waters, and peaks in subtropical waters. High diversity is also noted offshore in the area between Capes Agulhas and Columbine, where water of Indian, Southern and Atlantic Ocean interact. Indicator species for each major water mass were tentatively identified.

AbstractThis paper reviews and summarizes information on the systematics, distribution, life history, and ecology of water mites in spring habitats in Canada, primarily on the basis of new data. The fauna comprises over 115 species, representing 57 genera and 25 families, in three ecological groups adapted for living in helocrenes, rheocrenes, and limnocrenes, respectively, though many species are able to exploit more than one type of spring habitat. The evolution of adaptations in water mites for living in spring habitats is discussed within the context of new hypotheses on the origins and zoogeography of spring-inhabiting taxa. A synopsis of available data suggests that knowledge of the species composition and structure of water mite communities can be used to characterize springs, and to assess and monitor the impact of environmental changes on these habitats. Inadequacies in the current database on Canadian species are identified, specifically uncertain species identities, incomplete zoogeographic data, inconsistent definition of spring habitats, and inadequate collecting techniques. Future studies are proposed to encourage research designed to overcome these inadequacies, and improve understanding of the biological roles of water mites inhabiting springs.

ABSTRACT Restriction fragment length polymorphisms in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) were used to reconstruct evolutionary relationships of conspecific populations in four species of freshwater fish—Amia calva, Lepomis punctatus, L. gulosus, and L. microlophus. A suite of 14-17 endonucleases was employed to assay mtDNAs from 305 specimens collected from 14 river drainages extending from South Carolina to Louisiana. Extensive mtDNA polymorphism was observed within each assayed species. In both phenograms and Wagner parsimony networks, mtDNA clones that were closely related genetically were usually geographically contiguous. Within each species, major mtDNA phylogenetic breaks also distinguished populations from separate geographic regions, demonstrating that dispersal and gene flow have not been sufficient to override geographic influences on population subdivision.—Importantly, there were strong patterns of congruence across species in the geographic placements of the mtDNA phylogenetic breaks. Three major boundary regions were characterized by concentrations of phylogenetic discontinuities, and these zones agree well with previously described zoogeographic boundaries identified by a different kind of data base—distributional limits of species—suggesting that a common set of historical factors may account for both phenomena. Repeated episodes of eustatic sea level change along a relatively static continental morphology are the likely causes of several patterns of drainage isolation and coalescence, and these are discussed in relation to the genetic data.—Overall, results exemplify the positive role that intraspecific genetic analyses may play in historical zoogeographic reconstruction. They also point out the potential inadequacies of any interpretations of population genetic structure that fail to consider the influences of history in shaping that structure.

Full textAbstract:
This paper reviews the taxonomy, distribution, stock structure, biochemical genetics and zoogeography of the world's two subtropical sardines, Sardina and Sardinops. We conclude that both genera are monotypic and that the differences between populations of Sardinops in different current systems are not large enough to consider them distinct subspecies. Analysis of biochemical genetics information, fossil evidence, and present and paleo-climatic conditions suggests that Sardinops did not achieve its present distribution until the Pleistocene and that westward exchange of sardines via the northern and southern west wind drift regions is possible with present climatic conditions. Transequator exchange appears to be possible only during glacial maxima and only in the eastern tropical Pacific.

(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) The southern Arabian fauna is recognized as occupyinga montane coastal strip of Saudi Arabia parallel to the Red Sea from Taif southwards, the Yemens and Oman. Brief descriptions of the physical, climatic and vegetational features of the region are provided. Most of the mammal species recorded from the area are assigned to one of the following zoogeographical categories: Palaearctic, Saharo-Sindian, Afrotropical plus Palaearctic, Afrotropical and Oriental. Most species are Afrotropical with a substantial number Saharo-Sindian. Palaearctic and more ubiquitous elements are well represented. Examination of species restricted to the region shows Afrotropical species to be most numerous in the Yemens followed by Saudi Arabia. Oman has the best representation of Palaearctic species. There is appreciable endemism within the region. The history of the region and surrounding area has been examined for the past 100000 years. For much of this time the Arabian Peninsula has experiencedconsiderablearidity apart from about 35 000-17 000 BP and 11000-6000 BP. World sea levels have fluctuated, probably between - 105 and - 175 m below present levels. Such falls would have facilitated narrow water barriers or land connections between Africa and Arabia. This is supported by historical studies on the palaeofauna, particularly of Israel, which indicate periods of faunal movement into the area from Africa and elsewhere. The significanceof the faunal structure is discussedin the light of the historical information. There have probably been influxes into southern Arabia from Africa and the north at times of low sea levels; the penetration Df some Afrotropical elements has probably also occurred via Sinai. Penetrations from the west include some of the more widespread species as well as most of the Saharo-Sindian elements. These conclusions find broad support from the biogeography of birds, freshwater fish, butterflies and plants.

Full textAbstract:
The population structure of the common shrimp Crangon crangon (L.) in British waters is investigated. Samples were collected from 31 sites along the coasts of England, Wales, Holland, Belgium and France. Using a morphometric analysis it is concluded that English and Welsh waters hold six distinct populations. Animals belonging to the same population are found on the opposing English and continental coasts in the southern North Sea and English Channel which indicates that the avoidance of offshore waters is not isolating the shrimps. The boundaries between the populations are found to correspond with the boundaries between major plankton assemblages. It is suggested that the populations are isolated by the reduced dispersal of the planktonic larvae across fronts where bodies of water with different physical properties meet but incompletely mix.

Full textAbstract:
Morphometry has been used in the investigation of the common shrimp Crangon crangon subpopulation structure at a local scale (100 km) around the UK. In the present study C. crangon populations were sampled over the whole distributional range from northern Norway to the Mediterranean and Black Sea to test whether the same method could be applied to describe subpopulation structure at a much larger scale (1000 km). Spatial variability in morphometric characters was determined by sampling 25 locations across the distributional range. In addition, the temporal variability in morphology was studied at 4 sites (Bodo, Norway; Wadden Sea, The Netherlands; Minho and Lima estuaries, Portugal). Contrary to expectations, temporal variability was observed in three of those sites resulting in an inability to distinguish between populations at the local scale. However, the large scale subdivision of shrimp populations from the Adriatic, Black Sea, Mediterranean and Atlantic were clearly identified. It is concluded that, while there are clear morphological differences between major zoogeographical zones, at a local scale, subpopulations frequently cannot be identified because of individual variability.

Full textAbstract:
The sea skaters, genus Halobates Eschscholtz, include the only known oceanic insects, although most species of Halobates are found in sheltered coastal waters. The present paper deals with the 11 species known from Australian waters, divided into two subgenera, Hilliella China and Halobates s. str., and the latter into 5 species-groups. Characters found useful in forming these species-groups include: interocular width of head, head colour markings, relative lengths of fore tarsal segments, mesotibio-tarsal hair fringe, structure of male genital segments, and vesical armature. The cladistic relationships among species and species-groups are analysed and discussed. A key to the species of Australian Halobates is provided. All species endemic to Australia are redescribed and their distribution recorded and mapped. Taxonomic and distributional notes are given for the remaining species. H. (Hilliella) lannae is described as new from the Northern Territory, and the synonymies H. australiensis Malipatil (= H. hayanus White) and H. ashrnorensis Malipatil (= H. princeps White) are verified. Finally, we discuss the ecological diversity and zoogeography of Australian sea skaters.

This is the second contribution in series devoted to the study of the microturbellarian fauna (Plathelminthes, Rhabditophora) of the Boguchansky Reservoir, lower section of the Angara River, eastern Siberia. It provides information on the taxonomy, the structure of the male copulatory organ, and zoogeography of one species each from the families Provorticidae Beklemischev 1927, Macrostomidae Benden 1870, and Microstomidae Luther 1907. The faunas of these worms in the Angara River and Lake Baikal are still poorly studied. Three species from these families were recorded and described more than 90 years ago from the Angara River before our study, but the original descriptions were accompanied by highly schematic and non-informative sketches which do not allow us to perform exact species identifications and comparisons, as a rule. In the research process of the lower section of the Angara River, we found representatives of further three species: Macrostomum johni Young 1972, Microstomum rogozini Timoshkin et Krivorotkin 2023, and Baicalellia nasonovi Timoshkin et Krivorotkin, sp. n. The stylets of M. johni from the Angara River and Lake Baikal were revealed to be almost identical in structure and size to those of specimens of the type series from Great Britain. M. rogozini is one of the most common species of Microstomidae that inhabits the coastal zone of Lake Baikal. The stylet structure of Baicalellia species resembles that of Baicalellia baicali Nasonov 1930 and Baicalellia nigrofasciata Nasonov 1930, but their available descriptions do not allow us to make reliable comparisons with the species found. Therefore, we propose to consider both these names as nomina nuda and attribute those individuals to B. nasonovi, a species new to science. Despite rhe significant geographic isolation, the stylets of Baikal and Boguchan specimens are identical in structure and size. Similarly to Kalyptorhynchian species (see contribution 1), the discovery of provorticids and microstomids of Baikal origins in such a remote section of the Angara River considerably expands their distributions and demonstrates their capacities to colonize water bodies hydrographically connected to Lake Baikal. Illustrated descriptions of Boguchan and Baikal specimens of M. johni, M. rogozini and B. nasonovi, comparisons with the most similar species and zoogeographic information are given. In addition, a complete checklist of the Angara River microturbellarian fauna known so far, one currently including 35 species from nine families, is presented.

Full textAbstract:
A comparative morphological analysis of the fleas from the melis-flabellum species group of the genus Paraceras (Siphonaptera, Ceratophyllidae) is undertaken. Differences in the structure of the clasper and the 8th tergite allow considering P. melis and P. flabellum separate species. Morphological characters of the Japanese form of Paraceras make possible to treat it as an independent taxon. The distribution ranges of three badger species of the genus Meles (Carnivora, Mustelidae) are shown to correspond to those of their specific parasites, i.e. the fleas of the melis-flabellum species group of the genus Paraceras. Paraceras melis is restricted to the range of the European badger, Meles meles (Europe, the Caucasus, northern Iran and southern Kirgizia), while Paraceras flabellum is limited by the range of the Asian badger, Meles leucurus (Kazakhstan, Middle Asia, Siberia, China).

Full textAbstract:
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from 99 meadow voles (Microtus pennsylvanicus) collected in 13 localities and from 2 Townsend's voles (M. townsendii) from a single locality was assayed for restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) with 13 restriction endonucleases. There was evidence of extensive mtDNA sequence heterogeneity within and among meadow vole populations. Thirty-eight different mtDNA composite phenotypes were found. Two common mtDNA composite phenotypes were shared among five populations, the other mtDNA composite phenotypes being characteristic of individual populations. Estimates of nucleon diversity (ĥ) were high (0.303–0.893), as were measures of intrapopulational nucleotide divergence (px values ranged from 0.0 to 0.038). Population fluctuations and periodic dispersal are the likely mechanisms maintaining high mtDNA composite phenotype diversity in meadow vole populations. Overall interpopulational nucleotide divergence (pxy) was also high (values ranged from 0.007 to 0.045). Cluster analysis clearly separates M. pennsylvanicus and M. townsendii and suggests the separation of the meadow vole populations into eastern and central groups, but there is little evidence of structure within the regional groups. Based on the zoogeography of the populations sampled, the mtDNA RFLP data support the differentiation of Microtus pennsylvanicus into at least two previously described subspecies.

SUMMARYParasite communities of wild and reared bluefin tuna display remarkable diversity. Among these, the most prevalent and abundant are the Didymozoidae (Monticelli, 1888) (Trematoda, Digenea), considered one of the most taxonomically complex digenean families. The aim of this study was to evaluate phylogenetic structure of Didymozoidae occurring in Pacific (Thunnus orientalis) and Atlantic bluefin tuna (T. thynnus) in order to increase our knowledge of didymozoid zoogeography and identify species that could successfully be employed as biological tags for stock assessment studies. For the present analyses we used 2 nuclear ribosomal DNA loci, part of the 28S gene and the second internal transcribed spacer (ITS-2) as well as a portion of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 gene (cox1). In most parasitic groups, morphology is the primary factor in the structuring of phylogenetic relationships. In rare examples, however, habitat has been suggested as a primary factor affecting parasite evolution. During their evolution, didymozoids have spread and inhabited a remarkable number of different sites in their hosts, colonizing exterior as well as strictly interior niches. Our data suggest that habitat selection has been the leading force in shaping didymozoid phylogenetic relationships. For 2 didymozoid species (D. wedli and D. palati), cox1 sequences indicate intraspecific differences between Mexican and Adriatic populations.

Full textAbstract:
The Family Eucnemidae in the Maritime Provinces of Canada is surveyed. Eleven species are now known from the region. Ten species are recorded in Nova Scotia, six in New Brunswick, and four on Prince Edward Island. Nine new provincial records (four from Nova Scotia, four from Prince Edward Island, and one from New Brunswick) are reported, and two species, Microrhagus triangularis (Say) and Nematodes penetrans (LeConte), are newly recorded in the Maritime Provinces as a whole. The four species reported from Prince Edward Island are the first records of the family Eucnemidae from the province. The composition of the fauna is in broad agreement with that of northeastern North America. The faunas on Prince Edward and Cape Breton Islands are diminished with respect to the mainland, but are more robust than that of other saproxylic groups. Many species of eucnemids have been very infrequently collected and may actually be rare. In this regard eucnemids are similar to many other groups of saproxylic beetles, although they are proportionately even less abundant than many other groups. A variety of studies that have reported on this phenomenon have pointed to the history of forest management in the region as potential being responsible for this scarcity. The eucnemids in this region are almost entirely associated with deciduous trees. The history of forest management in the Maritime Provinces, as well as that of introduced forest diseases, is such as to have had a major impact on the composition and structure hardwood forests, and hence potentially on insects such as eucnemids which are reliant on these hosts. Consequently further research is urged in order to better ascertain their status, and to develop appropriate conservation measures for these important indicator species of diverse forest structure.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract. Present-day intraspecific diversity has largely been shaped by previous climatic events, but the spatial and temporal scales of differentiation processes in most species remain to be clarified. In Europe, the Pleistocene glacial cycles have generated population structures that remain especially evident in montane taxa. The intraspecific variation of the European subalpine Yellow-spotted Ringlet, Erebia manto (Denis & Schiffermüller, [1775]), shows a hierarchical, two-level structure that allows us to study intermediate stages of speciation. Morphologically, three subspecies clusters have been described in this butterfly: the manto, bubastis and vogesiaca type. An allozyme study previously revealed two genetic lineages within the manto type, and two within the vogesiaca type, but lacked bubastis representatives. To further our knowledge of the intraspecific structure of E. manto, we sampled all known and presumed intraspecific groups and sequenced 1,496 base pairs of the mitochondrial gene COI for 152 specimens from 15 localities. A median joining haplotype network, based on 40 parsimony informative sites, confirmed the four allozyme based lineages. The bubastis type was acknowledged as a fifth genetic lineage, replacing the manto type populations in the southern part of the western Alps, and separated from it by a well-known zoogeographic borderline. We discuss how the present-day distributions, genetic relationships and timing of the differentiations align.

Full textAbstract:
Comprehensive information on Antarctic macrobenthic community structure has been publicly available since the 1960s. It stems from trawl, dredge, grab, and corer samples as well as from direct and camera observations (Table 1–2). The quality of this information varies considerably; it consists of pure descriptions, figures for presence (absence) and abundance of some key taxa or proxies for such parameters, e.g. sea-floor cover. Some data sets even cover a defined and complete proportion of the macrobenthos with further analyses on diversity and zoogeography. As a consequence the acquisition of data from approximately 90 different campaigns assembled here was not standardised. Nevertheless, it was possible to classify this broad variety of known macrobenthic assemblages to the best of expert knowledge (Gutt 2007; Fig. 1). This overview does not replace statistically sound community and diversity analyses. However, it shows from where which kind of information is available and it acts as an example of the feasibility and power of such data collections. The data set provides unique georeferenced biological basic information for the planning of future coordinated research activities, e.g. under the umbrella of the biology program “Antarctic Thresholds - Ecosystem Resilience and Adaptation” (AnT-ERA) of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) and especially for actual conservation issues, e.g. the planning of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR).

Thus, this species must be treated as species incertae sedis. Two species groups could be differentiated due to the structure of the parameres and the aedeagal cones; one mainly occurs in South America, the second in Central America.

Full textAbstract:
About 500 aphid species inhabit the arctic zone in Northern hemisphere. Current level of knowledge of aphid species composition is too different for certain arctic and subarctic regions. Due to numerous expeditions to the arctic region of Eurasia during the last years our knowledge of species composition of aphid fauna and its genesis has been deepened significantly. The aphid fauna of Chukotka is more similar to the fauna of North America than to that of Siberia and Europe. From the West to the East proportion of monoecious species is increased but species richness is decreased. Monophagous species are the most numerous among arctic aphids. In conditions when plant hosts are rare some aphids inhabit plants atypical for them, that can lead to genesis of new species.

The knowledge of the fauna composition and the distribution of particular species lies at the base of research in the fields of ecology and zoogeography, but also enables the monitoring of environmental and climate change on the basis of the variability of fauna composition. An adequate amount of faunistic data enables, amongst others, to find the answers to the fundamental questions regarding trends in the changes in the number of both common and rarely recorded species. Data collected systematically over long periods of time can be used to evaluate the negative impact of alien and invasive species on the functioning and diversity of ecosystems in which they appear, study changes in the phenology of species, as well as help understand the processes causing their decline. It is worth mentioning that common species, often omitted from studies, play a large role in ecosystems e.g. in pollination, account for the dominant biomass structure and contribute significantly to the spatial and temporal variability of species richness. Therefore, common species can be seen as useful indicators of environmental changes. This paper presents almost 2200 new faunistic records for 306 species of true bugs in Poland. The distribution data of very rarely collected or interesting species: <em>Brachyarthrum limitatum</em> Fieber, 1958, <em>Eurydema fieberi</em> Fieber, 1837, <em>Peritrechus gracilicornis</em> Puton, 1877, <em>Stephanitis pyri</em> (Fabricius, 1775), <em>Tingis crispata</em> (Herrich-Schaeffer, 1838), is summarized and visualized on maps. A list of species reported for the first time from each zoogeographical region of Poland is also provided.

Abstract The research was conducted in the pristine ecosystems of the GKVK campus of the University of Agricultural Sciences, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India. The O. obesus mound displayed a conical structure with one or multiple hollow conical turrets. The upper part of the mound exhibited a smaller circumference compared to the lower portion. The inner wall of the mound was characterized by a smooth surface with small pinhead-like depressions (pinholes). The number of pinholes was observed to be higher in the upper region and lower in the lower area. At the base of the mound, the turret wall thickness was substantial and rigid, measuring between 1.8-4.2 cm with an average thickness of 3.1±0.78 cm. A noteworthy positive correlation (r = 0.855) between the increase in the circumference of the base and the height of the mound was observed. The study findings revealed that the influence of the base circumference on the mound's height (r2 =0.73) was 73 percent, underscoring the significant role of the base circumference in determining the mound's height. Additionally, the study indicated that a unit increase in the base circumference corresponded to a 2.00 unit increase in the height of the mound. References Ashok Kumar, C. T., 1987.

The “group-cinerarium” is represented by three species in Armenia: Dorcadion (Cribridorcadion) kasikoporanum Pic, 1902 (Arailer Mt. near Erevan), D. (C.) sisianense sp. n. (Sisian pass) and D. (C.) megriense sp. n. (Megri ridge). Both new species are close to European D. (С.) cinerarium (Fabricius, 1787), but differ by relatively smooth dorsal body side, nearly total absence of pubescent form of females and endophallic structure. All three species differ from each other by the peculiarities of elytral and pronotal sculpture. D. (С.) megriense sp. n. is characterized by very big size. D. (С.) cinerarium (F.) is redescribed, its area is specifi ed. The absence of D.

The study of zoogeographic characteristics in combination with the use of modern methods for assessing phylogenetic relationships allowed us to examine in detail the phylogeographic structure in scorpions of the genus Mesobuthus. In this work, to assess phylogenetic relationships, we used the decoded sequences of the COI gene fragment obtained by the team of authors in collaborative work and deposited in the Genbank database (NCBI). Previously published results of zoogeographic studies, due to the lack of data on the distribution of species of this genus, did not fully reflect the zoogeographic structure of the genus Mesobuthus. Therefore, the previously typified ranges of some species of the genus Mesobuthus were revised in this work. For this purpose, specimens from the collection of the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences were studied. To establish the zoogeographic position of the genus Mesobuthus, the biogeographic zoning of the Palaearctic, proposed by Emelyanov A. F. and Krivokhatsky V. A., was chosen. According to the results of the study, five species groups (phillipsii, kirmanensis, eupeus, afghanus, thersites) were identified in the genus Mesobuthus using phylogenetic analysis. The zoogeographic analysis identified two clusters consisting of eight elemental faunas. In addition, transition zones between the North Central Asian and Iranian-Mekranian elemental faunas, as well as between the Khorasan-Girkan and South Turkana-Afghan elemental faunas were identified. In this study, based on the dates obtained, it was found that in scorpions of the genus Mesobuthus, the hypothetical center of origin coincides with the modern chorological center, which is the Iranian-Mekranian elemental fauna. Phylogenetic relationships between five groups of species prove that the genus Mesobuthus spread from the Iranian-Mekranian elemental fauna to the north, forming the other elemental faunas. Also, it is established that the main processes of Mesobuthus genus faunagenesis fall on the period from the middle Miocene to the late Pliocene.

Full textAbstract:
The genetic structure and phylogeography of 88 rosethorn rockfish (Sebastes helvomaculatus) from five localities (California, Oregon, British Columbia, and two in the Gulf of Alaska) were analyzed using DNA sequences from the mitochondrial control region. High levels of genetic diversity (h > 85%) and significant population genetic structure (FST = 0.13, P < 0.001; AMOVA ΦST = 0.15, P << 0.001) were found. A significant genetic break was detected (ΦCT = 0.22, P << 0.001) coinciding with the transition zone between the Oregonian and Aleutian zoogeographic provinces and consistent with retention and dispersal mechanisms associated with the oceanographic circulation of the region. A correlation between geographic distance and population genetic distance supported the hypothesis of gene flow dominated by pelagic-phase dispersal. Oregonian province populations had higher haplotype diversity, with >70% of the individuals representing a recent lineage absent in the Aleutian province. This suggests a limited northward dispersal across the zoogeographic boundary. The phylogeographic stucture may be due to a founder effect in the Aleutian province or an ocean circulation driven pseudo-vicariance. These results demonstrate that organisms with protracted pelagic-phase stages and high dispersal capability can exhibit population genetic structure that reflects their historical demography and present dispersal patterns.

Рассматривается применение сравнительно-географического метода при исследовании почвенно-биотических сообществ Тункинской котловины для целей картографического моделирования пространственно-временного состояния таксономического разнообразия зооценозов почв. Для оценки текущего состояния почвенной биоты предлагается использовать индекс Маргалефа, величина которого фиксирует значение количества таксонов с общей численностью в сообществах почвенных беспозвоночных. Пределы этих изменений дают возможность выделить равномерную шкалу с пятью категориями разнообразия. Функционально-трофическая структура зооценозов почв с выделением доминирующих видов педобионтов позволяет определить оптимальный состав коренного населения биоценозов, а также понять механизмы восстановления при снижении антропогенного воздействия. Полученные обобщенные данные необходимо отобразить на картографической модели. Для этого предлагается использовать ландшафтную основу, которая, в свою очередь, отражает как особенности рельефа, так и совокупность комплекса природных факторов - от гидротермических условий до фитоэдафического облика исследуемой территории. В целом результаты исследования можно применять для своевременных решений, направленных на сохранение биологического разнообразия региона, что является одним из главных принципов мировой экологии. Сделана попытка соединения и анализа теоретических и методологических знаний по почвенной зоогеографии и ее практического применения с возможностью дальнейшего развития - симбиоза со смежными отраслями географии, биологии и картографии. Результаты работы можно применять при планировании мер оптимального природопользования с выходом на следующий, прогнозный уровень, позволяющий управлять процессами, происходящими внутри экосистемы региона. This paper considers the use of the comparative-geographical method in investigating soil-biotic communities from the Tunka depression, for the purposes of cartographic modeling of the spatio-temporal state of taxonomic diversity of soil zoocenoses. To assess the current state of the soil biota, it is proposed to use the Margalef index which implies the value of the number of taxa with a total abundance in soil invertebrate communities. The limits of these changes make it possible to single out a uniform scale with five categories of diversity. The functional and trophic structure of soil zoocenoses with the identification of dominant species of pedobionts permits determination of the optimal composition of the indigenous population of biocenoses as well as understanding the mechanisms of recovery with a decrease in anthropogenic impacts. The generalized data obtained should be represented on a cartographic model. To do this, it is proposed to use a landscape basis which, in turn, reflects both the terrain features and the totality of the set of natural factors: from hydrothermal conditions to the phyto-edaphic appearance of the study area. In general, the results of the study can be used for timely decisions aimed at preserving biological diversity of the region, which, in turn, is one of the main principles of world ecology. An attempt is made to combine and analyze theoretical and methodological knowledge of soil zoogeography and its practical application with the possibility of further development of a so-called symbiosis with related branches of geography, biology and cartography. The results of the research can be used in planning measures for optimal nature management with access to the next level, i. e. the predictive level, which permits management of the processes occurring within the ecosystem of the region.

AbstractTenthredo retura Ross is here placed in synonymy under T. maxima (Norton) as the subspecies T. maxima retura Ross (syn.nov., stat.nov.). The range of T. maxima is associated with montane meadows or semi-open forest habitats in the montane zone of the Rockies, the Cascades, and the Sierra Nevada. Following the analysis of 24 characters from 2405 specimens, we recognized 12 geographically distinct populations, clustered into two subspecies, T. m. maxima and T. m. retura. Originally included in the originalis group of the genus Tenthredo, T. maxima is characterized as a group of its own with no close relatives in North America. We describe the species and its subspecies, give their distribution, discuss their geographical variation, and attempt to reconstruct their zoogeographical history during the Pleistocene.

AbstractFourteen species of Carabidae are added to Prince Edward Island’s (P.E.I.) faunal list, bringing the known fauna to 167 species. Bembidion nitidum (Kirby) and Bembidion obtusum Audinet-Serville are newly recorded for the Maritime Provinces. Six species are removed from P.E.I.’s faunal list. The history of collecting of Carabidae on P.E.I. is briefly recounted. Despite differences in land area and distance from the mainland between P.E.I., Cape Breton Island, and insular Newfoundland, their carabid faunas exhibit many similarities in size and composition. The native carabid fauna of P.E.I. comprises 49% of the species in the combined Maritime Provinces fauna, perhaps reflecting an island-related diminution of species diversity. The proportion of flightless species on P.E.I. (4.9%) is less than that in the Maritime Provinces as a whole (7.1%), an apparent indication that the Northumberland Strait has been a barrier to colonization. Twenty-seven introduced species are found on P.E.I., 26 of which can be classified as synanthropic and may have originated in dry-ballast quarries in southwestern England. Although the earliest dates of detection of many introduced species on P.E.I. are substantially later than elsewhere in the Maritimes, this reflects the paucity of early collecting. Land-management practices on P.E.I. (large-scale and early forest clearances, intensive agriculture, and the extensive use of biocides) may have had an impact on P.E.I.’s carabid fauna.
