AB  - This paper provides an overview of the qualitative composition and structure of the microcrustacean of the Grliško reservoir based on field research conducted from 11 June 2019 to 9 July 2019. Sampling was carried out every seven days at sub-sites with different macrofauna, using the standard hydrobiological methodology. A total of 18 zooplankton taxa were recorded, belonging to the following groups: Rotifera (1 taxon), Cladocera (12 taxa), and Copepoda (5 taxa). The largest number of taxa was found in June. The total number of taxa was almost the same in the sub-areas with a lot of macro-vegetation and without vegetation but differed in the qualitative composition of zooplankton species, spatially and temporally. Since the main purpose of the Grliško reservoir is to provide water for the population, it is necessary to constantly monitor the zooplankton, as it can be an important indicator of the state of this aquatic ecosystem.

AB  - In the world of complex smells in natural environment, feeding and mating represent two important olfactory-guided behaviors in Drosophila melanogaster (Diptera: Drosophilidae). Diet affects the chemoprofile composition of the individuals, which, indirectly, may significantly affect their mating success. In this study, chemoprofiles of recently mated flies belonging to four D. melanogaster strains, which were fed for many generations on different substrates (standard cornmeal-S strain; banana-B strain; carrot-C strain; tomato-T strain) were identified and quantified. In total, 67 chemical compounds were identified: 48 compounds were extracted from males maintained on banana and carrot, and 47 compounds from males maintained on cornmeal and tomato substrates, while total of 60 compounds were identified in females from all strains. The strains and the sexes significantly differed in qualitative nature of their chemoprofiles after mating. Significant differences in the relative amount of three major male pheromones (cis-vaccenyl acetate-cVA, (Z)-7-pentacosene, and (Z)-7-tricosene) and in female pheromone (Z,Z)-7,11-nonacosadiene among strains were also recorded. Furthermore, multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) pointed to significant differences between virgin and mated individuals of all strains and within both sexes. Differences in some of the well known sex pheromones were also identified when comparing their relative amount before and after mating. The presence of typical male pheromones in females, and vice versa may indicate their bidirectional transfer during copulation. Our results confirm significant effect of mating status on cuticular hydrocarbon (CHC) phenotypes in differently fed D. melanogaster flies.

Navedene aktivnosti imaju nesagledive negativne efekte na akvatične beskičmenjake koji ceo ili deo svog životnog veka provode u vodi.

AB  - Pandemija Kovid-19 uzrokovala je promene u svim sferama života, rada i ponašanja ljudi. U Srbiji, sa izmenjenim načinom rada škola počinje realizacija učenja na daljinu, koja u tom obliku nikada do tada nije primenjivana. U cilju sagledavanja stavova učenika o učenju na daljinu, učenici V-VIII razreda u osnovnim školama iz Beograda i Zaječara su anketirani po principu slučajnosti. Anketirano je ukupno 397 učenika, 216 u Beogradu i 181 u Zaječaru. Anketa je sprovedena anonimno, sa pitanjima višestrukog izbora. Analiza rezultata ankete obuhvatila je odgovore na pitanja koja su se odnosila na: posedovanje ličnog uređaja za praćenje nastave, vreme posvećeno učenju, pomoć nastavnika i postojanje stresa prilikom ovog tipa učenja. Rezultati ankete analizirani su Hi-kvadrat testom (χ2) nezavisnosti.1 Svoj uređaj za praćenje onlajn nastave poseduje 86% učenika iz Beograda i 91% iz Zaječara. Vreme posvećeno učenju u oba grada je od 1- 3 sata dnevno. Za 31% učenika iz Beograda i 45% iz Zaječara nastavnici su bili od pomoći pri učenju na daljinu. Nešto veći procenat učenika iz Zaječara (34%) u odnosu na Beograd (30%) se izjasnio da im učenje na daljinu nije stresno uopšte. Rezultati ovog istraživanja doprinose razumevanju pojedinih aspekata učenja na daljinu tokom pandemije. 1.

AB  - Courtship in Drosophila involves exchange of chemosensory, auditory, tactile and visual signals. Differences in courtship signals are strongly influenced by environmental factors, among which nutrition plays one of the more important roles. Through influence on development, morphology, physiology and behaviour, nutrition may affect both sexual selection and isolation. However, the impact of specific nutritive regimes on male mating success has not been extensively studied. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore how diets affect male attractiveness via changes in wing morphology during long-term rearing of flies on different diets. Through a series of female choice tests, we investigated the mating success of males reared on five different diets for more than 350 generations. Further, we analysed wing size and wing shape of mated and unmated males to link wing morphology with mating success. The results demonstrate significant differences in male mating success between strains. We also found significant differences in wing size between the strains and established that female choice is positively correlated with male wing size, that is, females of all strains preferred males with larger wings. In addition, we noted a significant difference in wing shape between the strains, as well as between mated and unmated males. Our results indicated that among strains, males with elongated wings were more successful in mating than males with rounded wings. Within strains, mated males had more elongated wings than unmated ones, which had more rounded wings. Our results support the hypothesis that nutrition represents an important environmental factor that may affect male attractiveness via changes in wing morphology, thereby playing an important role in sexual selection of Drosophila melanogaster.

AB  - INTRODUCTION:
Insect nutrition is a widely researched topic, since diet affects many biological processes, which can be monitored from cellular to behavioral level. As one of the most important environmental factors, food quality and balance in the amount of key nutrients, strongly affect fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster fitness. A number of genes involved in multiple sensory pathways and complex physiological systems are consequently included in the regulation of feeding behavior. The fruit fly food-related behavior is primarily influenced by nutritional needs, and may change throughout life. Also, food choice may be determined by sex and the social environment, i.e. by the presence of other individuals.
OBJECTIVES:
The aim of this study was to determine whether there were differences in food choice between D. melanogaster strains reared on two different substrates for more than 20 years. For that purpose, five food items were offered. Further, it was examined whether sex and social environment influenced food choice in these two strains.
METHOD / DESIGN:
D. melanogaster strains used in this experiment were maintained for more than 450 generations on two different substrates, standard cornmeal substrate and substrate modified by adding apple. Transparent plastic boxes, dimensions: 220 × 140 × 90mm, which contained five Petri dishes (r = 30mm) were used for monitoring food choice. Petri dishes were filled with five different substrates: standard cornmeal substrate and substrates that contain tomato, banana, carrot and apple. Flies were starved for 18h before being placed into each box. Virgin females and males, 3 - 5 days old, were separated and tested individually
and in groups of five individuals, and foraging flies were sampled every 3 min for 1h. Four-way ANOVA was applied in order to determine difference in time that flies spent on different diets, between individuals and groups, and between sexes.
RESULTS:
Results pointed out significant differences in the time that flies spent by occupying different food items. On the other hand, sex, strain and social environment revealed no significant influence on D. melanogaster food choice. However, significant interaction between strain and food choice was observed. In both strains, the preference toward standard cornmeal substrate was noticed. Even more, flies reared on apple substrate spent significantly more time on Petri dish filled with standard cornmeal diet, compared to flies reared on standard substrate.
CONCLUSIONS:
These results indicated that flies chose nutritionally richer food (standard cornmeal substrate, rich in sugar and yeast), especially if they were reared on poor diet (the apple substrate). According to data from our previous surveys, substrates that we offered to flies differ in protein content and in the proportion of protein relative to the total content of organic carbon (C/N ratio), which accurately reflected the protein/carbohydrate ratio. Contrary to standard substrate, apple substrate contained smaller amount of protein and higher C/N ratio. The fact that food choice was not influenced by sex or social environment
might suggest the same nutritional requirements for the best available food in both sexes, regardless of whether flies were tested individually or in a group.

AB  - INTRODUCTION:
Large branchiopod crustaceans (Class Branchiopoda) usually inhabit small and ephemeral inland water bodies. Some species have been included into national red lists, and some are strictly protected in many European countries. Both the abundance of their specimens in natural populations and their body size can be used as bioindicators of geographical and environmental differences. For the reasons stated above, this group can be used for defining the ephemeral wetland habitats and their possible functions and values.
OBJECTIVES:
The objective of this study was to determine whether the morphological analysis can be used to differentiate Branchipus populations from several areas within a certain territory. We used populations from the northern, Pannonian parts (Srem,Banat, and Bačka Districts), and from the southern, mountainous region of Serbia, whose habitats are particularly different in their origin, and physical/chemical features.
METHOD / DESIGN:
After selecting the most representative locations, body parts that are common to both sexes were measured in all examined populations: a total body length, thorax, abdomen, and cercopod lengths, ratio of total body to thorax length and ratio of total body to the abdomen length. The measurements were performed with the accuracy of 0.1 cm. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics.
RESULTS:
According to the linear body measurements common for both sexes, results of descriptive statistical analysis showed that two geographical groups of individuals can be distinguished: Branchipus populations from the northern habitats (plain landscape of the country), and populations from localities in the southern (hilly part of the country). Morphological parameters that mostly affected differentiation of samples were: abdominal length, the contribution of thorax in total body length, and the contribution of abdomen in total body length.
CONCLUSIONS:
Large branchiopod crustaceans are the flagship animal group for some inland water ecosystems and temporary pools. Results of this study show that two geographical groups of individuals stood out from very different types of habitats, occurring in the northern lands and in the southern hilly and mountainous areas of the country. Present results indicate that linear morphological data obtained by applying the method of discriminate morphological analysis can be an auxiliary method in taxonomic determination of populations and assessment of the regional biodiversity.

AB  - Fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has been representing one of the most suitable model systems for studying underlying mechanisms in various biological research for more than a hundred years. Findings in the field of genetics and genomics certainly paved the way for this model system to be used in the study of the mechanisms underlying complex human diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and others. It can be also used in studying the effects of nutrition and/or malnutrition, and to some extent, be extrapolated to humans. In the year 2000, we collected D. melanogaster flies from natural population and established and maintained five “nutritional” strains. Flies were reared on standard cornmeal laboratory food and four fruit/vegetable diets. All substrates were analysed for protein/carbohydrate ratios, and their antioxidant properties were established. During the years of running in vivo studies, we have shown that diet can affect individuals on many levels. As the most pertinent to the fitness, we observed the impact of diet on body morphology (the size, shape and symmetry of certain body traits), the chemistry of odors essential for social and sexual recognition, behavior, and life history traits. We also considered food choice in those flies in order to find out how they maintained nutritional homeostasis. In addition, we experimented with standard Drosophila diet by adding chemicals and some bioactive plant components in growing substrates (such as the black chokeberry fruit extract), widely used as a supplementary source in human diet and medicine. Here we will present a short overview of the most important results of our research, dealing with the fruit fly nutrition. Having in mind the key similarity in some metabolic pathways in Drosophila and mammals, our studies could be applicable for understanding the possible effects of various diets, drug-treatments and their potential benefits for humans.

AB  - Drosophila species express a variety of reproductive strategies.
In this respect, models of sexual selection, mate preferences, and different
levels of pre- and postcopulatory competition were often studied in these
species. Ecological impact on sexual selection in Drosophila could be
monitored through changes in population density and sex ratio, since they
affect the dynamics of mate acquisition.
The aim of this study was to determine if differences in mating success
of Drosophila melanogaster males is related to sex ratio. Further, in
different sex ratio conditions, wing morphology was monitored, since it
may contribute to variation in male courtship. Flies were allowed to mate
in two types of mating assays, in female and multiple choice tests. In
female choice tests, females of one strain were allowed to choose between
males belonging to two strains (F:M ratio was 1:2, thus simulating
competitive conditions). In multiple choice tests, flies of both sexes
of two strains were present in equal sex ratio (F:M ratio was 1:1).
Results revealed differences in mating success between males belonging
to different strains in competitive conditions, while no difference
in mating success was observed in multiple choice tests. Using geometric
morphometric analysis, differences in wing size and shape between
strains and sexes were recorded in both experimental designs.
Influence of sex ratio and wing morphology will be discussed in the
context of sex ratio dependent sexual selection.

AB  - Heterocypris incongruens represents a cosmopolitan crustacean
species inhabiting continental waters of temperate climate.
They use the first and the second antennae and some body limbs for
swimming, and to capture food particles. Our previous investigation
revealed different behavioural activities and general food preferences
of this species. The aim of the present study is to further follow and
quantify locomotor and feeding activities of this species, in which individuals
had free access to different items in the experimental conditions.
In conditions that partially simulate its natural environment, we
measured time that the individuals spent on two aforementioned activities.
In order to measure feeding activities, four different types of
food were offered: two of the plant origin and two of the animal
origin. Also, some non-food items were included into experiment
(neutral aquarium sand similar in colour with food). Behavioural activities
of H. incongruens and their duration will be discussed in the
context of presence or absence of food.

AB  - In aquatic environments, chemical cues are very important for the perception of danger, especially when visibility is low. It is known that ostracods rely on chemical senses to detect predators, which is essential for survival. Occurrence of alarm signals in the surroundings can affect their activities and behaviour. The present study investigates if the non-marine ostracod Heterocypris incongruens (Crustacea: Ostracoda) can detect and react to chemical compounds derived from a predator (Triturus spp. larvae) and from injured conspecifics. Also, the study aims to investigate whether habitat-substrate selection is at play when the individuals are in potential danger. The obtained results indicate that predator-derived chemicals and conspecific alarm cues induce specific behavioural responses: forming of aggregations, reduction of locomotion or camouflaging. It is possible that H. incongruens rapidly evaluates environmental cues and modifies defensive strategies depending on the type of semiochemicals perceived.

AB  - It is now widely accepted that bioactive compounds of fruits and vegetables reduce oxidative stress, thus having the beneficial effect of decreasing the risk of many human diseases. The aim of this in vivo study was to evaluate the possible protective effects of Aronia melanocarpa (Michx) Elliott fruit extract using Drosophila melanogaster Meigen, 1830 larvae. Study was done in the year 2016, in Department of Genetics of Populations and Ecogenotoxicology at the Institute for Biological Research, University of Belgrade. Simultaneously with treatments, co-treatments with the same concentrations of black chokeberry fruit extract mixed with a methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) were performed. Fitness traits and morphological characters were monitored. Flies fed on undiluted fruit extract, on MMS + undiluted fruit extract and on MMS, exhibited a prolonged developmental time, lower viability and negatively-impacted wing development. Positive biological effects were observed in flies that developed on substrates with 2 and 25% A. melanocarpa extract. Only a mixture of MMS + 25% fruit extract showed positive effects on both fitness components and wing development in comparison with other MMS co-treatments, indicating the ability of this concentration to protect the cells from MMS-induced damage.

AB  - In this work, we have examined two components of Drosophila mating behavior and fitness, mating latency (ML) and mating duration (MD), in strains that have been cultivated over the years in various nutritive conditions. Since the influence of environmental (nutritional) variation on ML and MD is insufficiently known, the aim of this study was to explore aforementioned behavioral traits in four Drosophila melanogaster strains after long-term laboratory growing on different diets. Previously, we have observed that these diets differ in protein content and C/N ratio, which was reflected on mating success and several fitness components.

AB  - The development and growth of Drosophila larvae are greatly influenced by nutritional
variations. Differences in developmental processes in various nutritive environments can be
further detected in adults, at morphological, physiological and behavioural levels, including
sexual interactions. In this study, we questioned if there is sexual selection favouring larger
D. melanogaster males and particular wing shape in relation to nutrition. Wing
characteristics were used, since they are involved in male courtship, during phases termed
as orientation and “singing”. For experimental purpose, flies cultured on tomato and apple
diets for years were used. We have previously observed that tomato diet contains a
significantly higher amount of proteins and lower C/N ratio than the apple diet that was
reflected on different fitness traits. The effects of two diets on morphological and
behavioural traits were scored in female choice tests, in which males from both “nutritional
strains” were offered to females of “tomato strain” and to females of “apple strain”.
Statistics obtained in MorphoJ program determined that “tomato” males possessed larger
and narrower wings than the “apple” males. Males developed on tomato diet were also
more attractive to females. Our results emphasized that the strength and shape of sexual
selection acting on wing traits vary with the nutritive environment influencing male mating
success.

AB  - We interviewed more than 400 primary school pupils from 5th to the 8th grade (aged 11 to 14 years) from the primary school in Belgrade (Serbia) about their habits concerning nutrition, beverage consumption, and time spend in front of a computer, tablet, playing games on consoles, or using a mobile phone. According to the study, a high percentage of students showed a well-established habit of eating breakfast. Also, the overall water consumption prevailed in all grades, since the school ensures students access to safe and free drinking water, as a healthy alternative to consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages. However, we found increasing food consumption from bakery and consumption of carbonated drinks both in boys and girls from senior grades (7th and 8th). Also, they spent considerably more time with a computer, tablet, or mobile phone than the pupils from lower grades. About one-third of all surveyed students have been watching television or using a computer more than 3 hours during the day. We found a significant increase of BMI, as an indicator of the increasing risk of weight gain and obesity both in boys and girls in senior grades. In the current curriculum of Biology, the topic of human health is studied in the 7th grade, but presented results show that one-year education in health topics is not sufficient. It suggests the necessity of introducing the topic of health in all grades of elementary school, starting from the lowest age.

Results of this research confirmed the existence of developmental plasticity when D. melanogaster flies were exposed to different nutritional environments, and that developmental time is not deeply channeled. Furthermore, presence of developmental plasticity gives flies the possibility to adjust to highly variable environmental conditions.

AB  - Evolution of reproductive isolation may be a consequence of a variety of signals used in courtship and mate preferences. Pheromones play an important role in both sexual selection and sexual isolation. The abundance of pheromones in Drosophila melanogaster may depend on different environmental factors, including diet. The aim of this study was to ascertain to which degree principal pheromones affect sexual selection in D. melanogaster. We used D. melanogaster strains reared for 14 years on four substrates: standard cornmeal substrate and those containing tomato, banana and carrot. We have previously determined that long-term maintaining of these dietary strains resulted in differences in their cuticular hydrocarbons profile (CHs). In this work, we have tested the level of sexual selection and sexual isolation between aforementioned strains. We found that the high levels of cis-vaccenyl acetate, 7-pentacosene and 7,11-nonacosadiene in the strain reared on a substrate containing carrot affected the individual attractiveness and influenced sexual isolation between flies of this strain and flies reared on a substrate containing banana. Based on these results, long-term different diets, may contribute, to sexual behaviour of D. melanogaster via the effects of principal pheromones.

AB  - In Serbia, Branchipus Schaeffer, 1766 is especially common in the Pannonian lowlands, where Branchipus schaefferi and Branchipus serbicus were previously reported. In the southern parts of the country, at the foothills of the Stara Planina Mountains, a Branchipus intermedius population is reported to occur. We used multivariate analysis to assess the degree of morphological variability between Branchipus populations currently ascribed to different species. Morphometric characters contributed the most to the morphological differentiation. Populations were better defined on the basis of male morphometric characters. Our results indicate that individuals from the southeastern, mountainous part of the country had the highest level of differentiation. We confirmed that this population belongs to B. intermedius. The individuals of the presumed species B. serbicus exhibited a fairly lower level of morphological differentiation in the present study, and grouped together with other lowland Serbian populations ascribed to B. schaefferi. According to this study, B. serbicus is a junior synonym of B. schaefferi.

AB  - Nutrition is one of the most important environmental factors that influence the development and growth in Drosophila. The food composition strongly affects their reproduction, welfare and survival, so it is necessary for flies to search for a mixture of macronutrients that maximizes their fitness. We have five D. melanogaster strains, which were reared for 13 years on five different substrates: standard cornmeal-agar-sugar-yeast medium and four substrates modified by adding tomato, banana, carrot and apple. This study was aimed at determining how such long-term rearing of flies on substrates with different protein content affects fitness traits (dynamics of eclosion, developmental time and egg-to-adult survival). Further, we determined how transferring flies reared on fruit/vegetable substrates to a standard laboratory diet affected their fitness. Results indicate that strains reared on the diet with the lowest content of protein and the highest C/N ratio had the slowest eclosion and developmental time, and lowest egg-to-adult survival (apple diet). The flies reared on the diet with the highest protein content and the lowest C/N ratio had the highest survival (tomato diet). Flies reared on the carrot diet, which is quite similar in protein content and C/N ratio to the standard cornmeal diet, had the fastest development. Transferring flies to the standard cornmeal diet accelerate eclosion and developmental time, but did not affect survival.

AB  - Cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) in Drosophila melanogaster represent the basis of chemical communication being involved in
many important biological functions. The aim of this study was to characterize chemical composition and variation of cuticular
profiles in five D. melanogaster strains. These strains were reared for approximately 300 generations on five diets: standard
cornmeal medium and substrates prepared with apple, banana, tomato, and carrot. Differences in quantity and/or quality in
CHCs were assumed as a result of activation of different metabolic pathways involved in food digestion and adaptations to the
particular diet type.
In total, independently of sex and strain, 66 chemical compounds were identified. In females of all strains, 60 compounds were
identified, while, in males, 47 compounds were extracted. Certain new chemical compounds for D. melanogaster were found.
MANOVA confirmed that CHC amounts significantly depend on sex and substrates, as well as on their interactions. Discriminant
analysis revealed that flies belonging to ÐappleÏ and ÐcarrotÏ strains exhibited the most noticeable differences in CHC repertoires.
A non-hydrocarbon pheromone, cis-vaccenyl acetate (cVA) also contributed to the variation in the pheromone bouquet among
the strains. Variability detected in CHCs and cVAmay be used in the explanation of differences in mating behaviour previously
determined in analyzed fly strains.
