41. Functional diversity of vibrational signaling systems in insectsMeta Virant-Doberlet, Nataša Stritih Peljhan, Alenka Žunič Kosi, Jernej Polajnar, 2023, pregledni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Communication by substrate-borne mechanical waves is widespread in insects. The specifics of vibrational communication are related to heterogeneous natural substrates that strongly influence signal transmission. Insects generate vibrational signals primarily by tremulation, drumming, stridulation, and tymbalation, most commonly during sexual behavior but also in agonistic, social, and mutualistic as well as defense interactions and as part of foraging strategies. Vibrational signals are often part of multimodal communication. Sensilla and organs detecting substrate vibration show great diversity and primarily occur in insect legs to optimize sensitivity and directionality. In the natural environment, signals from heterospecifics, as well as social and enemy interactions within vibrational communication networks, influence signaling and behavioral strategies. The exploitation of substrate-borne vibrational signaling offers a promising application for behavioral manipulation in pest control.

43. Study of subterranean biodiversity of the upper Neretva River catchment in Bosnia and HerzegovinaMaja Zagmajster, Ester Premate, Špela Di Batista Borko, Behare Rexhepi, Vojo Milanović, Anton Brancelj, Michaela Brojer, Christophe J. Douady, Jozef Grego, Milica Jovanović, Florian Malard, Nataša Mori, Vladimir Pešić, 2023, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: The Dinarides in the Western Balkans host a globally exceptional subterranean biodiversity, but still areas remain with little or no data on subterranean species. In this work, we present the study of subterranean fauna in the upper Neretva River catchment (Eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina), which included the first systematic exploration of the interstitial habitats in the country. During the five-day »Neretva Science Week« in the summer of 2022, we sampled six gravel bars, six springs and one cave. We gathered 268 records (taxon-locality-date) of 116 taxa, with 35 records referring to 27 terrestrial taxa. Nine terrestrial taxa were sampled in a cave, while 19 were found in aquatic samples, mostly from springs. 27 taxa were identified as obligate subterranean (troglobiotic) species, one terrestrial beetle from the cave, and 26 aquatic species, belonging to water mites, snails, and crustaceans. Eight of the aquatic troglobionts present the potential for new species to science. Of the latter, four species were distinguished based on morphology: two species of snails from the families Hydrobiidae and Moitessieriidae, one representative of Ostracoda and one Copepoda. Individuals of the aquatic troglobiotic isopods and amphipods were analysed molecularly, and based on molecular differences, two new species within the genus Proasellus and two within the genus Niphargus were proposed. Further work on all these taxa is needed for the formal descriptions of the new species to science. Despite the short study period, we have shown that the area is rich in endemic groundwater fauna. The hydroelectric power plant constructions planned in the region threaten groundwater communities by altering subterranean habitats and their connectivity. Further studies are needed to properly highlight the great diversity of the subterranean habitats of the Neretva River catchment and its wider region, and to include this knowledge in conservation strategies.

45. A new perspective on the molecular dating of the brown trout complex with an extended phylogeographic information on the species in SerbiaTijana Veličković, Aleš Snoj, Vladica Simić, Radek Šanda, Jasna Vukić, Dovilė Barcytė, David Stanković, Saša Marić, 2023, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: To elucidate the historical biogeography of a species, the patterns of population divergence must be understood, and the evolutionary history of the species must be accurately known. For brown trout (Salmo trutta complex), estimating divergence times remains a challenge due to the lack of well-defined time calibration points and insufficient phylogeographic coverage in previous studies. The present work aims to improve molecular dating of mitochondrial control region sequences by using a multicalibration framework based on the latest paleogeological evidence for dating the origin of Lake Ohrid and two available Salmo fossils, including the overlooked Salmo immigratus. Our results clearly show that, contrary to common belief, the major divisions within the brown trout occurred in the Late Pliocene, not the Pleistocene. The Pliocene origin suggests that the brown trout lineages did not form because of geo(hydro)morphological changes during glaciation cycles but may be the result of orogeny and drainage evolution. In addition, increased sampling, particularly in Serbia, led to the identification of a new haplogroup (da-int) occupying an intermediate position with respect to da-es and da-bs haplogroups. While the control region can delineate brown trout lineages, its phylogenetic resolution is limited, so even extensive sampling could not further resolve the lineage level polytomies.

46. A new cyclopoid genus (Copepoda, Crustacea) from a deep aquifer in northeastern Thailand with comments on peculiar sampling sites and local faunaAnton Brancelj, Chaichat Boonyanusith, La-orsri Sanoamuang, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Pseudohesperocyclops loeiensis, new genus, new species, was collected from plastic containers that receives water from a 120-meter-deep well drilled into Cretaceous formations composed of sandstone, claystone, siltstone, conglomerate, and gypsum in Loei province, northeast Thailand. The new genus differs from the related genera Metacyclops Kiefer, 1927 and Hesperocyclops Herbst, 1984, by the shape of the female genital double somite, the swimming leg armature formula, and the P4 Enp number of segments, as well as on the form of P5. The new species shares several characters with Metacyclops cushae Reid, 1991, and Metacyclops thailandicus Boonyanusith, Sanoamuang & Brancelj, 2018, which are moved to this new genus. All three members of the new genus differ in the shape of the female genital double somite, the anal operculum, the furcal rami, and the P1 Enp-2 apical spine. Detailed comments on the regional ecology and sampling methods are included to promote collecting samples from other, less common habitats.

50. Perspectives and pitfalls in preserving subterranean biodiversity through protected areasStefano Mammola, Florian Altermatt, Roman Alther, Isabel R. Amorim, Raluca I. Băncilă, Teo Delić, Cene Fišer, Nataša Mori, Žiga Ogorelec, Maja Zagmajster, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Subterranean ecosystems (comprising terrestrial, semi-aquatic, and aquatic components) are increasingly threatened by human activities; however, the current network of surface-protected areas is inadequate to safeguard subterranean biodiversity. Establishing protected areas for subterranean ecosystems is challenging. First, there are technical obstacles in mapping three-dimensional ecosystems with uncertain boundaries. Second, the rarity and endemism of subterranean organisms, combined with a scarcity of taxonomists, delays the accumulation of essential biodiversity knowledge. Third, establishing agreements to preserve subterranean ecosystems requires collaboration among multiple actors with often competing interests. This perspective addresses the challenges of preserving subterranean biodiversity through protected areas. Even in the face of uncertainties, we suggest it is both timely and critical to assess general criteria for subterranean biodiversity protection and implement them based on precautionary principles. To this end, we examine the current status of European protected areas and discuss solutions to improve their coverage of subterranean ecosystems.
