AB  - Blind mole rats (genus Nannospalax) attract a great deal of attention because of their cancer resistance and longevity. Due to the high rate of chromosome rearrangements, 74 Nannospalax chromosomal forms have been discovered. The convergence of their external morphology complicates their taxonomy, and many cryptic species remain unrecognized. Thus, the European N. leucodon supersp. is listed in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species with “Data Deficient” status. It is crucial for the conservation of biodiversity to clarify its taxonomy, to recognize each cryptic species, and assign to them the correct conservation status. Of the more than 20 chromosomal forms described within N. leucodon, five cryptic species occur in Serbia. The most threatened among them—N. l. syrmiensis, described and named 50 years ago in the regions of Srem, Belgrade and Mačva—has been declared extinct in the literature, which may have negative consequences for the conservation of wildlife genetic diversity. Through five years of fieldwork and comparison of 16SrRNA and MT-CYTB gene segments between old, archived teeth and recently collected material, we show that N. l. syrmiensis is not extinct. However, its habitat has been fragmented and reduced, owing primarily to anthropogenic impact. Therefore, detailed surveillance, population-structure studies, risk assessment, and appropriate conservation measures are needed.

AB  - This is a preliminary and exploratory study of cranial variation in European populations of grayling. We
investigated the correspondence between size/shape variation of the dorsal (dc), ventral (vc) and occipital
(oc) cranium and phylogenetic relationships (inferred from mitochondrial control region – mtDNA cr
and microsatellite dna data) of six grayling populations: three from Balkan phylogenetic clade and two
from Caspian phylogenetic clade of the European grayling Thymallus thymallus and one population of
the Adriatic grayling Thymallus aeliani, which until recently was considered the Adriatic phylogenetic
clade of T. thymallus. Significant size and shape differences were found between populations in all three
cranial views. However, significant size-related shape variation (allometry) was found for dc and vc, but
not for oc. The size variation of each cranial view does not contain phylogenetic signal, but size variation
of oc is consistent with genetic variation inferred from microsatellite dna. Regarding shape variation, a
significant phylogenetic signal was detected only for oc, and only the shape variation of oc is consistent
with the genetic variation inferred from the mtDNA cr. Moreover, the Adriatic grayling T. aeliani (Soča
population) was clearly separated from the three T. thymallus populations of the Balkan phylogenetic
clade and the two T. thymallus populations of the Caspian phylogenetic clade only at the level of oc. Thus,
our results suggest that different cranial regions differ in allometry, reflect phylo(genetic) relationships
differently, and exhibit differences in ecophenotypic plasticity, with oc seeming best suited to represent
the phylogenetic relationships of the grayling populations studied.

AB  - We studied phenetic and phylogenetic relationships among Apodemus species of the Western Paleartic region. The sample comprised eight filed mice species from three subgenera Sylvaemus (A. alpicola, A. flavicollis, A. sylvaticus, A. uralensis, A. witherbyi), Karstomys (A. epimelas, A. mystacinus) and Apodemus (A. agrarius). Two species were each represented by two geographically distinct populations, A. flavicollis from Slovenia and Türkiye in Asia, and A. uralensis from the Czech Republic and Türkiye. The study of skull variation with geometric morphometric methods included the ventral cranium, mandible and upper molars. The analyzed skull structures were the largest in A. mystacinus and A. epimelas and the smallest in A. uralensis. The most distinctive in the mandible shape were A. mystacinus, A. epimelas, A. alpicola and A. agrarius. Apodemus mystacinus, A. epimelas and A. alpicola showed most unique cranium shape while A. agrarius was the most distinct in the molar shape. Mapping the geometric morphometric data to a phylogenetic tree of Apodemus species based on mtDNA cytochrome b sequences showed a phylogenetic signal in size variation in all the studied skull structures. The presence of a phylogenetic signal in shape variation was recorded for the mandible and molars. For the cranium, the permutation test showed the absence of a phylogenetic structure in shape variation. These results confirm the idea that different skull structures have diverse developmental pathways and different functional roles and respond differently to phylogenetic constraints and selective pressures. Nevertheless, contrary to the expectations, the cranial shape variation of the studied Apodemus species did not contain phylogenetic structuring.

AB  - Simple Summary: Natural enemies of cheatgrass, an invasive plant in the western USA that is
associated with recent increases in destructive wildfires, were sought as part of a classical biological
control program targeting that plant. A population of mites was discovered infesting cheatgrass
plants in central Bulgaria and determined to be a new species using morphological, morphometric
analysis (i.e., measurement of specific body parts) and DNA barcoding (i.e., comparison of DNA
sequences in genes shared by all mite species). Without these modern analytical tools, this mite
would probably have been considered as the same species as another mite that infests other plants.
This new mite species will now be tested to determine if it is suitable for importation and release in
the USA as a biological control agent of cheatgrass.
Abstract: A new species of eriophyoid mite, Aculodes marcelli sp. nov., was discovered on cheatgrass,
Anisantha tectorum (L.) Nevski (syn. Bromus tectorum L.), an annual grass that is native to Eurasia and
Northern Africa. This grass was introduced to North America near the end of the 19th century and
now is widespread and associated with the observed increases in the size, frequency, and intensity of
wildfires in western N. America. In this paper, A. marcelli sp. nov., is morphologically described and
illustrated. Compared with other Aculodes spp., it differs based on morphology and the sequence
of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase gene, subunit I (MT-CO1). Results of morphometric
analysis showed clear differentiation between A. marcelli sp. nov., and the most similar congener, A.
altamurgiensis from Taeniatherum caput-medusae. Analysis of MT-CO1 sequence divergence revealed
significant levels of genetic variation (17.7%) and supported the results from the morphometric
analysis; therefore, it is determined that they are two different species. Aculodes marcelli sp. nov., is a
new candidate agent for classical biological control of A. tectorum.

AB  - We explored the cryptic speciation of the Nannospalax leucodon species complex, characterised by intense karyotype evolution and reduced phenotypic variability that has produced different lineages, out of which 25 are described as chromosomal forms (CFs), so many cryptic species remain unnoticed. Although some of them should be classified as threatened, they lack the official nomenclature necessary to be involved in conservation strategies. Reproductive isolation between seven CFs has previously been demonstrated. To investigate the amount and dynamics of genetic discrepancy that follows chromosomal changes, infer speciation levels, and obtain phylogenetic patterns, we analysed mitochondrial 16S rRNA and MT-CYTB nucleotide polymorphism among 17 CFs-the highest number studied so far. Phylogenetic trees delineated 11 CFs as separate clades. Evolutionary divergence values overlapped with acknowledged higher taxonomic categories, or sometimes exceeded them. The fact that CFs with higher 2n are evolutionary older corresponds to the fusion hypothesis of Nannospalax karyotype evolution. To participate in conservation strategies, N. leucodon classification should follow the biological species concept, and proposed cryptic species should be formally named, despite a lack of classical morphometric discrepancy. We draw attention towards the syrmiensis and montanosyrmiensis CFs, estimated to be endangered/critically endangered, and emphasise the need for detailed monitoring and population survey for other cryptic species.

AB  - Vrste slepog kučeta iz roda Nannospalax se, pored brojnih adaptacija na podzemni način života, karakterišu i izraženom varijabilnošću kariotipa. Do sada su opisane čak 74 različite hromozomske forme (HF), ali su zvanično priznate samo tri vrste.1 Svaka je zapravo kompleks vrsta sa statusom „nedovoljno podataka“ na IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Evropske vrste ovog roda sačinjavaju kompleks N. leucodon supersp.1 Među njima je više od 20 različitih HF, od kojih je pet (hungaricus, serbicus, montanoserbicus, syrmiensis, montanosyrmiensis) prisutno u Srbiji, a poslednje dve se vode kao ugrožene.2 Iako su međusobno reproduktivno izolovane i filogenetski udaljene, zbog nedostatka morfoloških razlika predstavljaju kriptične vrste.

AB  - Although eriophyoids are considered a group of microscopic organisms with simplified bodies, more than 100 characters and 250 character states related to the body and legs can be used in their systematics. It has been demonstrated that some of these taxonomic characters are more prone to homoplasy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of 35 morphological traits, analyzed by linear morphometrics, for the delimitation of 14 species from two genera: Cecidophyopsis (C. vermiformis, C. ribis, C. malpighianus, C. hendersoni, C. verilicis, C. rosmarinusis and C. psilaspis) and Cecidophyes (Ce. galii, Ce. rouhollahi, Ce. glaber, Ce. gymnaspis, Ce. nudus, Ce. psilonotus and Ce. lauri). Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) revealed statistically significant interspecies differences (Wilks’λ = 0.0000; F455,4357.726 = 65; P = 0.0000). Canonical variate analysis (CVA) indicated clear segregation of species belonging to Cecidophyopsis and Cecidophyes genera along the CV1 axis. This trend was also supported by the UPGMA cluster analysis. Morphological traits that contributed most to the distinguishing along the CV1 axis were: numbers of dorsal and ventral semiannuli, body width at the level of the f and c2 setae, distances between the 1b - 1a tubercles, distance between d setae and prodorsal shield width. According to the squared Mahalanobis distances, the greatest morphological separation was between C. hendersoni and C. ribis (Cecidophyopsis cluster) and Ce. psilonotus and Ce. lauri (Cecidophyes cluster). In addition, C. vermiformis and C. ribis (Cecidophyopsis cluster), as well as Ce. galii and Ce. glaber (Cecidophyes cluster), showed morphologically very close relationships.

AB  - Background:  Mammalian mandible and cranium are well‑established model systems for studying canalization 
and developmental stability (DS) as two elements of developmental homeostasis. Nematode infections are usually 
acquired in early life and increase in intensity with age, while canalization and DS of rodent skulls could vary through 
late postnatal ontogeny. We aimed to estimate magnitudes and describe patterns of mandibular and cranial canaliza‑
tion and DS related to age and parasite intensity (diversity) in adult yellow‑necked mice (Apodemus favicollis).
Results:  We found the absence of age‑related changes in the levels of canalization for mandibular and cranial size 
and DS for mandibular size. However, individual measures of mandibular and cranial shape variance increased, while 
individual measures of mandibular shape fuctuating asymmetry (FA) decreased with age. We detected mandibular 
and cranial shape changes during postnatal ontogeny, but revealed no age‑related dynamics of their covariance 
structure among and within individuals. Categories regarding parasitism difered in the level of canalization for cranial 
size and the level of DS for cranial shape. We observed diferences in age‑related dynamics of the level of canalization 
between non‑parasitized and parasitized animals, as well as between yellow‑necked mice parasitized by diferent 
number of nematode species. Likewise, individual measures of mandibular and cranial shape FA decreased with age 
for the mandible in the less parasitized category and increased for the cranium in the most parasitized category.
Conclusions:  Our age‑related results partly agree with previous fndings. However, no rodent study so far has 
explored age‑related changes in the magnitude of FA for mandibular size or mandibular and cranial FA covariance 
structure. This is the frst study dealing with the nematode parasitism‑related canalization and DS in rodents. We 
showed that nematode parasitism does not afect mandibular and cranial shape variation and covariance structure 
among and within individuals. However, parasite intensity (diversity) is related to ontogenetic dynamics of the levels 
of canalization and DS. Overall, additional studies on animals from natural populations are required before drawing 
some general conclusions.

and developmental stability (DS) as two elements of developmental homeostasis. Nematode infections are usually 
acquired in early life and increase in intensity with age, while canalization and DS of rodent skulls could vary through 
late postnatal ontogeny. We aimed to estimate magnitudes and describe patterns of mandibular and cranial canaliza‑
tion and DS related to age and parasite intensity (diversity) in adult yellow‑necked mice (Apodemus favicollis).
Results:  We found the absence of age‑related changes in the levels of canalization for mandibular and cranial size 
and DS for mandibular size. However, individual measures of mandibular and cranial shape variance increased, while 
individual measures of mandibular shape fuctuating asymmetry (FA) decreased with age. We detected mandibular 
and cranial shape changes during postnatal ontogeny, but revealed no age‑related dynamics of their covariance 
structure among and within individuals. Categories regarding parasitism difered in the level of canalization for cranial 
size and the level of DS for cranial shape. We observed diferences in age‑related dynamics of the level of canalization 
between non‑parasitized and parasitized animals, as well as between yellow‑necked mice parasitized by diferent 
number of nematode species. Likewise, individual measures of mandibular and cranial shape FA decreased with age 
for the mandible in the less parasitized category and increased for the cranium in the most parasitized category.
Conclusions:  Our age‑related results partly agree with previous fndings. However, no rodent study so far has 
explored age‑related changes in the magnitude of FA for mandibular size or mandibular and cranial FA covariance 
structure. This is the frst study dealing with the nematode parasitism‑related canalization and DS in rodents. We 
showed that nematode parasitism does not afect mandibular and cranial shape variation and covariance structure 
among and within individuals. However, parasite intensity (diversity) is related to ontogenetic dynamics of the levels 
of canalization and DS. Overall, additional studies on animals from natural populations are required before drawing 
some general conclusions.",

AB  - All mites in the family Eriophyidae are obligate herbivores. Many of them are crop pests, some of which can transmit viruses, while others are associated with weeds and have high potential as classical biological control agents. Several eriophyid species have been released as biological control agents but to date, none of them had impact in control of grass targets. So far, about 30 species have been described in the genus Aculodes, out of which most were recorded from grasses (Poaceae). Aculodes altamurgiensis was described by de Lillo & Vidović (2018) from samples of Taeniatherum caput-medusae collected in Italy. Thereafter, cryptic populations of mites from Bromus tectorum were found. The purpose of this study was to clarify the taxonomic status of mites within the genus Aculodes from different host plants.
	Plant samples of T. caput-medusae were collected from Italy and those of B. tectorum were collected from Serbia and Bulgaria. For the morphometric study, 23 morphological traits were measured on 25-27 females of mites from each sample. The multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and Canonical variate analysis (CVA) were conducted to examine morphological differences between them. 
	Pooled samples of 15–20 whole mites were processed as one sample for DNA extraction, using the Dneasy Blood and Tissue Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). The barcoding region of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using a pair of primers LCO1490/HCO2198. Uncorrected pairwise genetic distances were employed to calculate the average genetic distance between species with different host affiliations.
	The results of our morphometric analyses showed general inter-population differences although A. altamurgiensis from T. caput-medusae diverged the most from Aculodes sp. hosted by B. tectorum. Pairwise comparison of the COI distances indicated approximate to 18% of genetic divergence between analyzed populations. These data provide evidence to support the hypothesis that mites associated with T. caput-medusae and B. tectorum are two distinct species.

AB  - In the past few decades, increasing interest in the use of eriophyoid mites as biological control agents has been expressed, especially due to their high host specificity, high intrinsic rate of reproduction and damage frequently caused to reproductive plant parts. To date, three Metaculus species were registered as potential biological control agents and the necessity of more comprehensive understanding of taxonomic status of Metaculus rapistri has been emphasized (Vidović et al, 2015). Namely, M. rapistri was initially described by Carmona (1969) from samples of R. rugosum collected in Portugal. Thereafter, a supplementary morphological description of this species was provided by Monfreda and De Lillo (2012) from samples of Isatis tinctoria collected in Turkey. The goal of this study was to clarify the taxonomic status of mite species within the genus Metaculus that inhabit R. rugosum and I. tinctoria. 
	Plant samples of R. rugosum were from Portugal, while I. tinctoria were collected from Turkey and Germany. For the morphometric study, 28–30 females from each sample were examined in the dorso-ventral position. Twenty-two morphological traits of each individual were measured. The multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and Canonical variate analysis (CVA) were used to examine morphological differences among groups. 
	DNA was extracted from 30 to 40 whole specimens using QIAGEN DNeasy Blood & Tissue Kit. Mitochondrial COI sequences were amplified using primers LCO1490/HCO2198. Uncorrected pairwise genetic distances were used to calculate the average genetic divergence between species with different host affiliations. 
	As evident from the CVA plot, the CV1 axis (accounting for 79.2% of variance) separated M. rapistri hosted by R. rugosum from Metaculus spp. hosted by I. tinctoria, while CV2 axis (accounting for 20.8% of variance) discriminated Metaculus sp. from I. tinctoria collected in Germany from Metaculus sp. from I. tinctoria collected in Turkey. The barcoding region of mtCOI gene indicated a genetic divergence between the analyzed populations of M. rapistri from R. rugosum and M. rapistri from I. tinctoria (7.7–11%). The genetic divergence was registered also between populations of mites from I. tinctoria from Turkey and the same plant species from Germany (12.3%). The results of our study showed that M. rapistri from R. rugosum is a distinct species and that could be two different taxa hosted by I. tinctoria.

AB  - Developmental stability (DS), along with canalization, represents an element of developmental
homeostasis (DH). DH is defined as the mechanism responsible for ensuring phenotypic
constancy in organisms despite the great variability of genetic and environmental features.
DS is usually measured by fluctuating asymmetry (FA) which refers to the minor, random
differences between the two sides in bilaterally symmetric traits. The factors that cause
FA can be either genetic or environmental in origin. In this study we used 276 mandibles
and 323 crania of adult yellow-necked mice (Apodemus flavicollis) featured by the frequent
presence of supernumerary B chromosomes (Bs). We investigated the associations between
developmental stability and susceptibility to nematode parasitism in this species in the
context of Bs presence or absence. In agreement with prevailing view that Bs are genomic
parasites, B carriers would possess lower level of DS, i.e. higher level of FA, compared to noncarriers.
We hypothesized that parasitized individuals should be more asymmetric as well.
By applying landmark-based geometric morphometrics, we estimated the levels of FA (FA10a
indices) for mandibular size and shape and cranial shape in non-parasitized B non-carriers
(NPB0), parasitized B non-carriers (PB0), non-parasitized B carriers (NPB+) and parasitized B
carriers (PB+). According to the hypotheses mentioned above, NPB0 mice would possess the
lowest FA10a indices. Although our results revealed no significant differences in the levels
of FA, NPB0 individuals are characterized by the lowest FA10a index for mandibular size, but
the highest FA10a index for cranial shape. Additionally, the similar levels of FA estimated for
PB0 and PB+ mice indicated that B chromosomes are not linked to developmental stability
and susceptibility to nematode parasitism in this species.

AB  - We conducted a comparative (2D landmark-based geometric and traditional) morphometric analysis on tadpoles at early developmental stages. Two species of brown frog (Rana dalmatina and R. temporaria) and the common toad (Bufo bufo) were involved, all raised in the laboratory from fertilized eggs collected in their natural habitat. Taxonomic identification was confirmed by the DNA barcoding method with the 16S rRNA sequence as the gene marker. Interested to compare the methodologies for quantification and description of morphological differences among tadpoles of mentioned species, we aimed to: 1) calculate interspecies genetic distances as the most relevant measurement for species differentiation, 2) determine and describe size and shape variation, 3) identify relationships among the analyzed species at the morphological level and 4) assess their classification accuracy. Within the framework of the specified aims, both methodologies produced very similar results, i.e., the smallest divergence was between R. dalmatina and R. temporaria, while the most discriminative were B. bufo and R. temporaria. However, we observed subtle shape variation of the distal region of the tail that was detected only by the geometric morphometrics. Our findings support the following. Geometric morphometric method captures more subtle shape differences that were unable to be recovered from linear measurements. It performs slightly better in classification rate. Although it was not quantified, it stands to reason that there is no difference in time investment between the two approaches. Geometric morphometrics provides more information that can be leveraged to answer further questions and it has a clear advantage in visualizing.

AB  - We conducted a comparative (2D landmark-based geometric and traditional) morphometric analysis on tadpoles at early developmental stages. Two species of brown frog (Rana dalmatina and R. temporaria) and the common toad (Bufo bufo) were involved, all raised in the laboratory from fertilized eggs collected in their natural habitat. Taxonomic identification was confirmed by the DNA barcoding method with the 16S rRNA sequence as the gene marker. Interested to compare the methodologies for quantification and description of morphological differences among tadpoles of mentioned species, we aimed to: 1) calculate interspecies genetic distances as the most relevant measurement for species differentiation, 2) determine and describe size and shape variation, 3) identify relationships among the analyzed species at the morphological level and 4) assess their classification accuracy. Within the framework of the specified aims, both methodologies produced very similar results, i.e., the smallest divergence was between R. dalmatina and R. temporaria, while the most discriminative were B. bufo and R. temporaria. However, we observed subtle shape variation of the distal region of the tail that was detected only by the geometric morphometrics. Our findings support the following. Geometric morphometric method captures more subtle shape differences that were unable to be recovered from linear measurements. It performs slightly better in classification rate. Although it was not quantified, it stands to reason that there is no difference in time investment between the two approaches. Geometric morphometrics provides more information that can be leveraged to answer further questions and it has a clear advantage in visualizing.

AB  - We employed geometric morphometric techniques to investigate external (body) morphology of European grayling (Thymallus thymallus) populations from the wild and hatchery facilities. Wild graylings were representative of Balkan and Caspian phylogenetic clades, whereas hatchery-reared specimens originated from Balkan and Adriatic phylogenetic clades. Individuals of T. thymallus from the Adriatic phylogenetic clade were the largest, followed by those from the Balkan phylogenetic clade, while graylings from the Caspian phylogenetic clade were the smallest. Graylings from hatchery facilities were larger than graylings from the wild. Body shape variation in T. thymallus coincides with genetic differentiation of the analyzed populations, whereas it is less influenced by difference in environment they experience in wild and captive habitats. Although hatcheries can generate large numbers of individuals, some of which will have an extreme phenotype, the variance in body shape was similar in captive and wild populations. Allometric relations were different between specimens from the wild and from hatchery facilities, as well as among those belonging to different phylogenetic clades. Allometric analyses performed separately for the wild and hatchery-reared populations revealed significant effect of allometry and similar trends in size-related shape variation among populations from different phylogenetic clades. We found that phenetic relationships among the studied wild grayling populations inferred from non-allometric body shape variation better reflected their phylogenetic relationships than equivalent data from hatchery populations.

AB  - We examined morphological and genetic differences among Aceria spp. inhabiting six Brassicaceae species in Serbia. Five of them have been already mentioned in the literature as original or alternate hosts of Aceria spp. (Berteroa incana (L.) DC., Capsella bursa-pastoris (L.) Medik., Cardamine hirsuta L., Lepidium draba L. and Sisymbrium orientale L.), whereas Aurinia petraea (Ard.) Schur was registered here for the first time as a host for Aceria sp. Results of morphometric analyses indicated clear differentiation of Aceria spp. from B. incana, L. draba, A. petraea and S. orientale, whereas the other two entities were less diverse and clustered together. Molecular analyses indicated that the average mean divergence over all sequence pairs was 18.3% (11.8–25.9%) and disclosed that the observed mtCOI distances between the six host-associated Aceria entities are large enough to represent differences between species. The Aceria sp. hosted by B. incana was morphologically and genetically most distinctive, whereas discrepancy between phenetic and phylogenetic relationships was found in the position of Aceria sp. hosted by L. draba when compared with those inhabiting C. hirsuta, S. orientale and C. bursa-pastoris.

AB  - We used geometric morphometric techniques to examine variability in Serbian red fox (Vulpes vulpes) crania. Male crania are about 5% larger than female ones and sexual size dimorphism (SSD) was significant. Also, significant cranial shape differences were found between the sexes. Males are characterized by reduced basicranial, but broader rostral and zygomatic regions. Although a slight and significant allometric effect was detected and larger specimens are smaller in the region of basicranium, cranial sexual shape dimorphism (SShD) pattern is not influenced by SSD. As small to moderate SSD in canid species is a general characteristics of the family, additional studies are needed to determine whether basicranial reduction in males, i.e. its enlargement in females, could be an important feature in characterizing cranial SShD patterns in other Canidae members. While uniform considering size, the shape of Serbian red fox crania varies geographically, as well as depending on proportion of agricultural habitats. In comparison to those from central and eastern Serbia, specimens from the northern Serbian region Vojvodina (with higher proportions of agricultural areas) have more robust crania with shorter snouts and maxillae, larger palatine bones accompanied with anteriorly moved posterior edges of the canine alveolus and laterally expanded zygomatic arches. Encompassing mostly facial and temporal cranial regions these shape changes are probably related to diet differences, although genetic diversification cannot be excluded as a possible contributing factor.

European grayling genetic structure and description of its phylogenetic lineages. In contrast, not
many morphological studies of this species have been published so far. We analyzed external body
morphology of T. thymallus from three different basins that correspond to three previously described
phylogenetic lineages. Landmark-based geometric morphometric methods were applied to specimens
of five European grayling populations (Adriatic Sea – Soča River, Black Sea – Sava Bohinjka and Una
Rivers, Caspian Sea – Bugurla and Kana Rivers). Body size analyses disclosed statistically significant
differences for all pairwise comparisons, except for those between Sava Bohinjka and Una (P=0.0505)
and between Bugurla and Kana populations (P=0.1016). When comparing centroid size (CS), Soča
population had the largest mean value (CS=40.11), while Bugurla population had the smallest one
(CS=18.67). Using multivariate regression of shape variables onto log CS we found that allometric
effect was significant (P<0.0001) and accounted for 6.37% of overall shape variation. Canonical variate
analysis (CVA) of non-allometric shape variation showed clear separation of all populations. Specimens
from Bugurla and Kana populations in comparison to those from the other three populations (separated
along CV1) are characterized by heads with smaller opercle in relation to subopercle and trunks with
longer dorsal and adipose fins and larger distance between anterior bases of ventral and anal fins.
Individuals from Soča population compared to those from Una population (separated along CV2) have
more robust heads and trunks with longer dorsal fins. These results match to genetic differences already
observed for populations studied herein. Morphologically most diverged population was the one from
Soča River (Adriatic basin) which is in accordance with its large genetic distinctiveness.

AB  - The European grayling, Thymallus thymallus (Linnaeus, 1758) is salmonid fish species with
complex life history depicted mostly by recent genetic research. As a result, at least five major
phylogenetic lineages have been described and fine genetic structure in each of the lineages has
been discovered. Herein, we analyzed cranial morphology of T. thymallus from three different basins
that correspond to three previously described phylogenetic lineages. Landmark-based geometric
morphometric methods were applied to four cranial views (dorsal, ventral, lateral and occipital). We
used specimens from five European grayling populations (Adriatic Sea – Soča River, Black Sea – Sava
Bohinjka and Una Rivers, Caspian Sea – Bugurla and Kana Rivers). Cranial size analyses revealed
significant size differences for all pairwise comparisons (dorsal cranium: P<0.05; ventral cranium:
P<0.01; lateral cranium: P<0.05; occipital cranium: P<0.05). When comparing centroid sizes (CS) for
all four views, Soča population had the largest mean values, while Bugurla population had the smallest
values of centroid size means. Significant interaction between log CS and population was revealed
only for ventral cranium (λWilks=0.1454, F92,232.07=1.58, P=0.0031). Therefore, Canonical variate analysis
(CVA) of inter-population ventral cranial shape differences was conducted without correction for the
allometry. For the other three cranial perspectives, CVA of non-allometric shape variation showed
best separation of studied populations at the level of occipital cranium. Namely, populations from
the same basin were grouped more tightly, while Soča population was separated from the other four
populations. Specimens from Caspian Sea basin showed overall flattening of the cranium in occipital
view. In individuals from Soča population dorsal base of supraoccipital crest was moved more dorsally,
resulting in higher skull with pronounced supraoccipital crest. Most of the landmarks digitized on
occipital cranium were located on neurocranial skeletal elements that are generally considered more
conservative and thus gave best reflection of phylogenetic relationships.

abstract = "The European grayling, Thymallus thymallus (Linnaeus, 1758) is salmonid fish species with
complex life history depicted mostly by recent genetic research. As a result, at least five major
phylogenetic lineages have been described and fine genetic structure in each of the lineages has
been discovered. Herein, we analyzed cranial morphology of T. thymallus from three different basins
that correspond to three previously described phylogenetic lineages. Landmark-based geometric
morphometric methods were applied to four cranial views (dorsal, ventral, lateral and occipital). We
used specimens from five European grayling populations (Adriatic Sea – Soča River, Black Sea – Sava
Bohinjka and Una Rivers, Caspian Sea – Bugurla and Kana Rivers). Cranial size analyses revealed
significant size differences for all pairwise comparisons (dorsal cranium: P<0.05; ventral cranium:
P<0.01; lateral cranium: P<0.05; occipital cranium: P<0.05). When comparing centroid sizes (CS) for
all four views, Soča population had the largest mean values, while Bugurla population had the smallest
values of centroid size means. Significant interaction between log CS and population was revealed
only for ventral cranium (λWilks=0.1454, F92,232.07=1.58, P=0.0031). Therefore, Canonical variate analysis

AB  - Despite sterlet (Acipenser ruthenus L.) being a less important resource regarding caviar
production, their populations have experienced a decline during the 20th century
throughout its range, mainly due to poorly regulated fishery, pollution, habitat
fragmentation and habitat loss. Stocking programs are implemented throughout Danube
River basin, with Upper Danube populations being dependent on continuous stocking
efforts, while commercial exploitation of wild stocks in the Middle and Lower Danube
has to be compensated with stocking of larvae, fingerlings and juveniles. Selection of
proper specimens for stocking programs should be carefully conducted, since it can lead
to deleterious impact, such as reduction of effective population size, inbreeding and
outbreeding depression, and loss of locally adapted alleles. Therefore, natural
populations should be examined genetically both before and after release of hatcheryreared
juveniles. Our research on Middle and Lower Danube sterlet, suggests that
genetic variability should be attributed almost entirely to individual variability, with a
weak population structure and no clear evidence of a bottleneck and inbreeding within
populations. Also, specimens used for the supportive stocking in the Tisza River in
Hungary originated from the Danube River, so the information about gene flow between
these rivers should be carefully considered. Additionally, most of breeding programs are
focused on genetic diversity and do not acknowledge complexities of wild populations
fitness architecture. Although Middle and Lower Danube dams are recent, in regard to
sterlet population time, they create more lentic conditions that do not suit sterlet
rheophilous nature. Both our previous and current morphometric research suggests that
hatchery-reared sterlet specimens are not necessarily suited for stocking of certain
Danube River sections. Lower Danube section have a different water flow regime and
suspended sediment discharge than those in Middle Danube and in Lower Tisza River,
so the sterlet specimens are differently adapted to their environment, which is in
concordance with our findings. We suggest that both shape analysis and genetic analysis
should be applied in restocking programs.

AB  - We explored modularity and morphological integration of the 
ventral cranium during postnatal ontogeny in Martino’s vole 
(Dinaromys bogdanovi). Two closely related phylogenetic 
groups, originating from the Central and Southeastern part of 
the species range in the western Balkans, were considered. As 
expected, both phylogroups had similar patterns of ontogenetic 
changes in cranial size and shape variation, modularity and in-tegration. At the level of within individual variation, the hy-pothesis that the viscerocranial and neurocranial regions are 
separate modules was rejected, indicating that the hypothesized 
modules are not developmental, but rather functional. At the 
level of among individual variation, the viscerocranium and the 
neurocranium could not be recognized as separate modules at 
the juvenile stage. The strength of association between the hy-pothesized modules becomes lower with age which finally re-sults in a clear 2-module organization of the ventral cranium at 
the adult stage. On the other hand, patterns of morphological 
integration for the cranium as a whole, the viscerocranium and 
the neurocranium stay consistent across ontogenetic stages. The 
developmental mechanism producing integration of the crani-um as a whole, as well as integration of the neurocranium, var-ies throughout postnatal ontogeny. In contrast, we detected the 
ontogenetic stability of the mechanism responsible for covaria-tion of viscerocranial traits which could provide ongoing flexi-bility of the viscerocranial covariance structure for high func-tional demands during lifetime. Findings from our study most 
likely support the idea of the ‘palimpsest-like’ model of covari-ance structure. Moreover, similarity or dissimilarity in the pat-terns of within and among individual variation in different sets 
of analyzed traits and comparisons across ontogenetic stages 
demonstrate how studies on small mammals other than mice 
can give new insights into postnatal cranial development.

AB  - Cranial size and shape variation of the greater horseshoe bat
   Rhinolophus ferrumequinum from territories in Serbia and Montenegro was
   examined using geometric morphometric methods. Statistically significant
   size and shape differences among specimens from distinct geographic
   regions (the Carpatho-Balkanides, the Internal and External Dinarides)
   were observed. Bats from the Carpatho-Balkanides have the smallest
   crania, while those from the External Dinarides have the largest ones.
   Compared to specimens from the Carpatho-Balkanides, bats from the other
   two regions have crania wider in the temporal and elongated in the
   facial region, while the basicranial region is smaller. Our analysis of
   sexual size dimorphism revealed no statistically significant differences
   between males and females. Even though significant sexual shape
   dimorphism was observed, cranial shape differences among bats from
   different geographic regions exceeded those between sexes. We also found
   that size and shape vary with climatic factors. Allometry has
   statistically significant effect on cranial shape variation and somehow
   contributes to covariation between cranial shape and environmental
   variables. Although the examined bats were from a relatively small
   territory, we have provided new insights into important issues like
   geographic variation, sexual dimorphism and allometry in this species.

domaćina A. drabae je registrovana na još 26 biljnih vrsta u okviru familije
Brassicaceae (Мonfreda & de Lillo, 2012). Na 28 biljnih vrsta (iz 16 rodova) ove
familije, evidentirano je dodatnih 5 nominalnih vrsta roda Aceria (A. capsellae, A.
cardaminesbellidifoliae, A. cardaminis, A. ciansensis. A. longior). Nedoumica o
taksonomskom statusu ovih vrsta proizlazi iz njihove velike morfološke sliĉnosti,
sliĉnih simptoma koje izazivaju i ĉinjenice da se većina od njih dovodi u vezu sa A.
drabae (ĉesto bez ikakvog detaljnijeg opisa ili paţljivog prouĉavanja populacija grinja).
Iako se vrsta A. drabae smatra znaĉajnim kandidatom biološke kontrole do sada nisu
preduzeta detaljnija istraţivanja intraspecijske varijabilnosti, niti analize kongeneriĉkih
taksona na biljnim vrstama familije Brassicaceae.
Cilj istraţivanja je uporeĊivanje A. drabae sa vrste L. draba iz geografski
relativno udaljenih podruĉja, radi sagledavanja i utvrĊivanja potencijalne intraspecijske
fenotipske varijabilnosti ove vrste grinje. Sakupljanje L. draba izvršeno je na 9
lokaliteta, 6 sa podruĉja Srbije (Irig, Vršac, Vranje, Aleksinac, Bor, Beograd i
Poţarevac) i po jedan iz Italije (Lucera) i MaĊarske (Budimpešta). Nakon ekstrakcije i
preparacije grinja, merena su 23 morfološka karaktera na protoginim ţenkama u uzorku
od 30 individua po populaciji. U cilju utvrĊivanja intraspecijske morfološke
varijabilnosti merena kvantitativna svojstva su analizirana multivarijantnim statistiĉkim
procedurama (MANOVA, CVA, UPGMA).
Jednofaktorska multivarijantna analiza varijanse (MANOVA) srednjih vrednosti
merenih karaktera je pokazala statistiĉki znaĉajne razlike izmeĊu populacija A. drabae
(Wilks λ=0.009, F(184,1783.13)= 8.39, P=0.0000). Kanonijskom diskriminantnom analizom
(CVA) utvrĊeno je da se po prvoj CV osi (opisuje 54.7% ukupnih razlika) odvajaju
populacije A. drabae iz Vršca i Beograda od populacija iz Vranja, Aleksinca i
Poţarevca. Po drugoj CV osi (opisuje 19.2% ukupnih razlika) izdvajaju se populacije iz Vršca, Vranja i Bora u odnosu na populacije iz Beograda i Poţarevca. Razdvajanju po
CV1 osi najviše doprinosi broj dorzalnih prstenova, dok razdvajanju po CV2 osi najviše
doprinosi broj ventralnih prstenova. Pored ova dva, još 8 karaktera utiĉe na razdvajanje
analiziranih populacija A. drabae po prve dve kanonijske ose. Sliĉni fenetiĉki odnosi
analiziranih populacija A. drabae dobijeni su UPGMA klaster analizom
Mahalanobisovih distanci.
Dobijeni rezultati ukazuju na postojanje intraspecijske fenotipske varijabilnosti
A. drabae. Geografska udaljenost analiziranih populacija ove vrste grinje nije u
direktnoj vezi sa utvrđenim fenetiĉkim odnosima.

AB  - In genus Apodemus, the presence of B chromosome has been confirmed in six out of
twenty-two species. One of them is yellow-necked field mouse Apodemus flavicollis. The
presence of B chromosomes has been confirmed in almost all studied populations of A. flavicollis
46
in Serbia in a wide range of frequencies (0,07- 0,63). Five B chromosomes per animal was the
highest number of Bs recorded in our analyzed populations.
These extra chromosomes in A. flavicollis are euchromatic and acrocentric, and by size
and distribution of G- and C-bands can be sorted into the group of five smallest chromosomes in
karyotype.
The absence of Bs accumulation in male meiosis, no significant difference in the mean
number of scars and embryos between females with and without Bs, as well as the absence of
significant difference in the presence of Bs among six age categories, speaks in favor of heterotic
model of their maintenance, contrary to the model of parasitic behavior of these additional
genomic elements.
In general, the number of Bs carriers is higher in environment that is not optimal for this
species which indicates that those individuals have higher fitness. Seasonal variation of Bs
frequencies has been recorded, in such a manner that highest frequencies are present before and
after winter, with stable frequency fluctuations during successive years. Different frequency of Bs
carriers is related to adaptive differentiation to diverse habitats mediated by environmental
variables that directly and/or indirectly influence population dynamics of A. flavicollis. Changes
in frequency follow up increase in population density in circumstances without food and space
competition. Positive correlation between the frequency of Bs carriers and the average number of
sub zero days, as well as with altitude increase, has been recorded.
Considering phenotypic effects, higher level of morphological integration of mandible in
animals with Bs in A. flavicollis has been found. Furthermore, studies of the effects of Bs on
nonmetric cranial traits, as well as on three components of cranial variability confirmed that Bs
does not disturb developmental homeostasis in their carriers. Moreover, Bs play a significant role
in structuring cranial variation.
Negative correlation between the expression of Tgf-β gene and the presence of Bs was also
observed. This could be of great importance for B chromosome which has to pass through
different mitotic and meiotic check points, and Tgf-β gene, through cell cycle regulation,
influences development and homeostasis.
The existence of specific DNA profiles and differential expressions of three genes in the
presence of Bs, testify about interaction of Bs with the rest of the genome. Absence of C-KIT
exon 1 in more than one copy in specimens with 1, 2 and 3B chromosomes excludes the
possibility that this gene is present on Bs. On the other hand, presence of S18 gene copy has been
indicated on some Bs.
Considering the results of population studies, euchromatic structure of Bs and molecular
studies that have been conducted so far, we can say that the contribution of Bs to overall genetic
47
diversity in this species is in sight, but there is still need for more specific evidence such as
precise determination of Bs molecular structure, origin and function.
