The first record of black bullhead Ameiurus melas (Pisces, Ictaluridae) in Serbian waters

On the 14th of June, 2005, in the Danube side channel "Jojkić" (N 44°50'33.1’’, E 20°27'46.1’’) near Belgrade, we recorded the presence of A. melas, ranging in weight (W) from 11.2 g to 135.6 g, and standard length (Ls) from 70 mm to 173 mm. Specimens were obtained from professional fishermen, who caught them with gill nets, as well from sport fishermen using fishing roads. Also, on 28th of May, 2005, on the lake "Savsko jezero" (N 44°47'20.1’’, E 20°24'54.6’’), we collected two specimens with gill nets. They were held in an aquarium until the 20th of June, when they were analyzed. Their weight (W) was 48.8 g and 97.5 g, their standard length (Ls) 145 mm and 183 mm, respectively.nul

Population viability analysis and potential of its application to Danube sturgeons

Sturgeon species in the Danube River basin have experienced severe decline. Besides overexploitation, habitat loss, and pollution, they are further endangered by lack of efficient policy and management, as well as by serious lack of knowledge about their life history. Although population viability analysis (PVA) could represent an extremely valuable tool to cope with these problems, it has not so far been applied to Danube populations. This paper represents an assess­ment of different PVA methods and models developed for sturgeon species. It analyzes their results, main advantages, drawbacks, and problems, and discusses the possibility of applying PVA to sturgeon populations in the Danube River basin.Populacije jesetarskih vrsta u basenu Dunava su doživele ozbiljan pad brojnosti. Pored prekomernog izlova, gubitka staništa i zagađenja, dodatno su ugrožene nedostatkom efikasne legislative i upravljanja, kao i ozbiljnim nedostatkom znanja o njihovom životnom ciklusu. I ako analiza vijabilnosti populacija(PVA) može Predstavljati veoma koristan metod u rešavanju ovih problema, do sada nije primenjivana na dunavske populacije. Ovaj rad predstavlja procenu različitih PVA metoda i modela razvijenih za jesetarske vrste. U radu se analiziraju njihovi rezultati, glavne prednosti, nedostatci i glavni problemi na koje se nailazilo, i diskutuje se o mogućnosti njihove primene na populacije jesetri u basenu Dunava.Projekat ministarstva br. 14304

The distributions of the six species constituting the smooth newt species complex (Lissotriton vulgaris sensu lato and L. montandoni) – an addition to the New Atlas of Amphibians and Reptiles of Europe

The ‘smooth newt’, the taxon traditionally referred to as Lissotriton vulgaris, consists of multiple morphologically distinct taxa. Given the uncertainty concerning the validity and rank of these taxa, L. vulgaris sensu lato has often been treated as a single, polytypic species. A recent study, driven by genetic data, proposed to recognize five species, L. graecus, L. kosswigi, L. lantzi, L. schmidtleri and a more restricted L. vulgaris. The Carpathian newt L. montandoni was confirmed to be a closely related sister species. We propose to refer to this collective of six Lissotriton species as the smooth newt or Lissotriton vulgaris species complex. Guided by comprehensive genomic data from throughout the range of the smooth newt species complex we 1) delineate the distribution ranges, 2) provide a distribution database, and 3) produce distribution maps according to the format of the New Atlas of Amphibians and Reptiles of Europe, for the six constituent species. This allows us to 4) highlight regions where more research is needed to determine the position of contact zones
