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  - Cyanobacteria are present in many aquatic ecosystems in Serbia. Lake Ludoš, a wetland area of international significance and an important habitat for waterbirds, has become the subject of intense research interest because of practically continuous blooming of cyanobacteria. Analyses of water samples indicated a deterioration of ecological condition and water quality, and the presence of toxin-producing cyanobacteria (the most abundant Limnothrix redekei, Pseudanabaena limnetica, Planktothrix agardhii and Microcystis spp.). Furthermore, microcystins were detected in plants and animals from the lake: in macrophyte rhizomes (Phragmites communis, Typha latifolia and Nymphaea elegans), and in the muscle, intestines, kidneys, gonads and gills of fish (Carassius gibelio). Moreover, histopathological deleterious effects (liver, kidney, gills and intestines) and DNA damage (liver and gills) were observed in fish. A potential treatment for the reduction of cyanobacterial populations employing hydrogen peroxide was tested during this study. The treatment was not effective in laboratory tests although further in-lake trials are needed to make final conclusions about the applicability of the method. Based on our observations of the cyanobacterial populations and cyanotoxins in the water, as well as other aquatic organisms and, a survey of historical data on Lake Ludoš, it can be concluded that the lake is continuously in a poor ecological state. Conservation of the lake in order to protect the waterbirds (without urgent control of eutrophication) actually endangers them and the rest of the biota in this wetland habitat, and possibly other ecosystems. Thus, urgent measures for restoration are required, so that the preservation of this Ramsar site would be meaningful.

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  - The European grayling, Thymallus thymallus (Linnaeus, 1758) is salmonid fish species
naturally inhabiting most of European continent. In the past two decades majority of research aimed
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.

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.",

AB  - Initial investigations of the high-mountain lakes of Mt. Šar-planina were performed from 1996 to 1997,
with the aim of studying the distribution and diversity of Oligochaeta fauna. These studies included 9
glacial lakes at an altitude ranging from 1,560 m to 2,260 m. Fourteen taxa, belonging to 12 genera and 4 families were recorded. The greatest number of taxa of Oligochaeta fauna was recorded at the Gornje (10 taxa) and Donje Tupankamensko Lakes (7 taxa). The species Nais communis, Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri and Lumbriculus variegatus were detected in six out of the nine lakes examined. The greatest number of collected specimens belonged to the species Stylodrilus lemani in the peat of Šištevačko Lake. The other species were represented by only 2-5 individuals in the lakes where they were recorded. After processing the samples, we concluded that the high-mountain lakes of Mt. Šar-planina are characterized by low diversity and low abundance of Oligochaeta fauna.
