AB  - The upper stretch of the Pek River is located in proximity to one of the largest mining sites in Serbia. To estimate the influence of copper mining on river biota, the quantitative and qualitative macroinvertebrate community structure was analyzed, and the ecological status of the river was assessed using standard biological indices. Data was gathered at 6 sites along the river. A total of 75 macroinvertebrate taxa were recorded. The reference site had the highest number of recorded taxa (48) and a high biodiversity (diversity index H=2.3). In contrast, the lowest number of taxa (8), a low diversity index value (H=1.15), and a very poor overall ecological status were recorded at site 2, which is heavily influenced by mining discharge. The Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera and Trichoptera group (EPT) constituted 46.30% of the community at site 1 but was completely absent at site 2 where Diptera (70%) and Oligochaeta (20%) were dominant, reflecting a strong impact of the mining industry on the upper river stretch. A gradual improvement of water quality downstream of the pollution sources indicates that this medium-sized river has the capacity to overcome intensive pollution and to revitalize itself along its course.

AB  - This study was carried out to identify the relations between macroinvertebrate communities and river basin specific (RBS) pollutants in the Danube River. The investigation was performed at 68 sites along 2,500 km of the Danube. Forward selection (FS), canonical correspondence analyses (CCA), the Spearman correlation coefficient (SC) and BIO-ENV analysis (to detect synergistic effects) were used to identify the relations between the macroinvertebrate dataset and selected biological metrics with RBS pollutants. Of the 20 analysed pollutants (preselected based on NORMAN network methodology), seven (2,4-dinitrophenol, chloroxuron, bromacil, dimefuron, amoxicillin, bentazon and fluoranthene) were found to significantly correlate with macroinvertebrate communities. BIO-ENV analysis revealed 3 subsets of environmental variables that were in high correlation with the biota resemblance matrix, consisting mainly of a combination of the above-mentioned pollutants. Our results indicate that there are significant correlations between chemical determinants and aquatic biota. Moreover, this study contributes to the validation of the methodology used for prioritization of RBS pollutants proposed by the NORMAN network.

AB  - As data on the distribution of freshwater sponges (Porifera, Demospongiae, Spongillida) in Serbia are extremely scarce, we investigated the main Serbian rivers and lakes with respect to Porifera occurrence, for which 17 lotic and 11 lentic water bodies were selected. Sponges were found in 11 of 17 rivers (62 specimens in total) and in 3 of 11 lakes/reservoirs (seven specimens in total). Classical morphological spicule analysis was coupled with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and gene sequencing for species identification. Among the 69 collected speci- mens, five sponge species of the family Spongillidae have been identified: Ephydatia fluviatilis (Linnaeus, 1759), Spongilla lacustris (Linnaeus, 1759), Ephydatia muelleri (Lieberkühn, 1856), Trochospongilla horrida Weltner, 1893, and Eunapius fragilis (Leidy, 1851). The most frequently found sponge in Serbian rivers was E. fluviatilis (45% of all specimens), while the least frequent was E. fragilis (6 % of all specimens). The Tisa river has the highest sponge diversity (four species). In lentic water bodies, only E. fluviatilis (four specimens) and S. lacustris (three specimens) were found. In general, sponges were infrequent and their abundance was low in Serbian fresh waters. While sponges seem to tolerate significant variations of physical and chemical parameters, some optimal values can be established.

Slatkovodni sunđeri predstavljaju zanimljivu grupu bentosnih organizama sa važnom ulogom u akvatičnim ekosistemima. Ciljevi ove studije bili su identifikacija različitih vrsta slatkovodnih sunđera u lentičkim i lotičkim ekosistemima Zapadnog Balkana i Panonske nizije, procena njihove rasprostranjenosti u ispitivanom regionu, kao i analiza distribucije vrsta u odnosu na parametre okruženja - fizičko-hemijske karakteristike vode i na prisustvo zagađivača.
Materijali i metode
Istraživanjem je obuhvaćen 171 lokalitet na Dunavu i Savi, kao i na rekama i jezerima Srbije, Severne Makedonije i Crne Gore. Identifikacija sunđera izvršena je svetlosnom i skenirajućom elektronskom mikroskopijom skeletnih elemenata (spikula) dobijenih nakon digestije sunđera u HNO3. Determinacija sunđera urađena je i putem genetičke analize, koja je podrazumevala izolaciju DNK, zatim PCR amplifikaciju 3D regiona 28S rDNK i njeno sekvenciranje. Podaci su statistički obrađeni u SPSS.
Rezultati
Ukupno je u toku istraživanja prikupljeno 168 primeraka sunđera. U istraživanom području identifikovano je sledećih pet vrsta (poređanih po opadajućoj učestalosti), od šest, koje trenutno žive u srednjoj Evropi: Ephidatia fluviatilis, Spongilla lacustris, Ephidatia muelleri, Trochospongilla horrida i Eunapius fragilis. Sunđeri su zabeleženi na 25% pretraženih lokaliteta. Abundanca , učestalost nalaza i biomasa sunđera bili su niski. Sekvenciranjem je otkriveno pet novih haplotipova.
Zaključci
Pet identifikovanih vrsta slatkovodnih sunđera su u području istraživanja pokazali neravnomernu distribuciju i nisku zastupljenost. Analizirane fizičko-hemijske karakteristike kao ni zagađivači nisu imali veći uticaj na distribuciju Porifera.
AB  - Introduction
Freshwater sponges represent a peculiar group of benthic organisms with an important role in aquatic ecosystems. The aims of this study were to identify different species of freshwater sponges in lentic and lotic waterbodies of Western Balkan and Pannonian Plain and to assess their overall distribution in the studied region. Their distribution in relation to physico-chemical characteristics of the water bodies and to the presence of pollutants was assessed as well.
Materials and Methods
The investigation covered 171 localities on the Danube and Sava, and on rivers and lakes of Serbia, Northern Macedonia and Montenegro. Sponge identification was done by light and scanning electron microscopy of skeletal elements (spicules), obtained after sponge digestion in HNO3. Sponge identification was also done by genetic analysis, including sponge DNA isolation followed by PCR amplification of the 3D region of 28S rDNA and its sequencing. Data were statistically analyzed in SPSS.
Results
During this research 168 samples of sponges have been collected. In the studied area, the following five Porifera species (ordered by decreasing incidence) have been identified, out of six presently extant in Central Europe: Ephydatia fluviatilis, Spongilla lacustris, Ephydatia muelleri, Trochospongilla horrida and Eunapius fragilis. Only 25% of explored localities harbored sponges. Sponge abundance and biomass were also very low. Sequencing revealed four new haplotypes.
Conclusions
Five identified freshwater sponges proved to be scarce and unevenly distributed along the explored region of the Western Balkan and Pannonian plain. Evaluated physico-chemical characteristics and pollutants did not seem to have a major impact on Porifera distribution.

AB  - This study is the result of extensive investigations of leeches on the Balkan Peninsula. Our aim was to detect actual and potential (modeled) distributions of common Erpobdellidae species, and to identify their ecological differentiation with respect to the altitudinal and waterbody type gradient. Although widespread, these species rarely live together. Intense competition is avoided by preferences for different types of habitats. This was confirmed by Pearson correlation analyses that yielded negative results. Differentiation of these species was clarified by the results of logistic Gaussian regression analyses. While Erpobdella octoculata and Dina lineata have a similar distribution along the altitudinal gradient, they prefer different waterbody types. Erpobdella vilnensis prefers higher altitudes than the other two species. Its preferred habitats are smaller rivers and streams located at altitudes from 400 to 1000 m a.s.l. Although present in all waterbody types, large lowland rivers and standing waterbodies are the preferred habitats of E. octoculata. Fast-flowing springs and streams are mostly inhabited by D. lineata. While the distribution of the species overlaps to a large degree, the ecological preferences of species differ significantly and thus they can be used as confident typological descriptors and indicators of ecological status.

AB  - Many morphologically similar species of the simuliid (Diptera: Simuliidae) subgenus Wilhelmia, Enderlein are difficult to distinguish. Thus, the revision of the subgenus using various morphological, cytogenetic, and genetic analyses has been attempted. Neglected until now, the Balkan Peninsula, a crossroad between Europe and Anatolia, provides insight which could resolve problematic interrelationships of the taxa within this subgenus. To uncover the status and relations within the subgenus Wilhelmia, mtDNA was extracted from 47 individuals of six morphospecies: Simulium balcanicum (Enderlein, 1924), Simulium turgaicum Rubtsov, 1940, Simulium lineatum (Meigen, 1804), Simulium pseudequinum Séguy, 1921, Simulium equinum (Linnaeus, 1758), and Simulium paraequinum Puri, 1933 from 21 sites throughout the Balkan Peninsula. Phylogenetic analysis of the Wilhelmia species using mitochondrial DNA barcoding (COI) gene showed two major branches, the lineatum branch, which includes the lineages sergenti, paraequinum, and lineatum, and the equinum branch. In the equinum branch, the mtDNA sequences formed six clades, with high genetic distances, suggesting the existence of different species. Historically, the clades of the equinum branch appeared at numerous islands, perhaps as a result of allopatric speciation. The paraequinum lineage (lineatum branch) is composed of two species. However, six clades of the lineatum lineage overlapped with intra- and interspecific genetic distances. Our results revealed that the species S. balcanicum, S. pseudequinum B, and S. equinum were omnipresent in the Balkans. The results point to not only the fair diversity of Wilhelmia species in the Balkans, but also indicate that most Wilhelmia species live in sympatry.

AB  - The aim of this study was to reveal faunistic and diversity patterns and to assess the effects of environmental factors on the differentiation of leech communities. This study covers investigations of 82 karst springs in Montenegro from 2009–2017. The communities were analyzed in respect to five wellspring types – caves, sublacustrine, limnocrene, rheo-limnocrene and rheocrene. The percentage of substrate types and aquatic vegetation cover was recorded alongside water parameters. In total, 18 leech species were identified, of which two were recently described as new species for science ( Dina minuoculata Grosser, Moritz and Pešić, 2007 and Glossiphonia balcanica Grosser and Pešić, 2016). K -means clustering was used to classify leech assemblages into three homogenous groups. The patterns of leech communities and the components of both alpha and beta diversity were examined in identified groups of assemblages. The significance of environmental factors and the impact of selected factors were assessed through forward selection analysis, CCA and RDA. Our results indicate that the type of spring and the environmental variables, as well as the combination of biotic and abiotic factors in a microhabitat dictate the distribution of leeches.

AB  - Trochospongilla horrida Weltner, 1893 (Spongillidae, Spongillida) has a relatively wide, though discontinuous, distribution in the Northern Hemisphere. The aim of this paper was to report the first finding of T. horrida in Serbia. During 2017, research was carried out on ten tributaries of the Sava and the Danube. T. horrida was identified at three localities in Tisa, Juzna Morava and Zapadna Morava rivers, out of 51 inspected sites. For the first time ribosomal 28S DNA was used for T. horrida identification.

AB  - Sponges in the large rivers within the Danube River Basin (DRB) have not been adequately studied. Hence, the aim of this work was to undertake an investigation on the distribution of sponge species in the Danube and Sava rivers. Out of 88 localities covered by the study, sponges were found at 25 sites only (46 samples in total). By using morphological (light and scanning electron microscopy) and genetic (28S rDNA sequencing) analysis, four species were determined: Ephydatia fluviatilis (Linnaeus, 1759), Spongilla lacustris (Linnaeus, 1759), Eunapius fragilis (Leidy, 1851), Trochospongilla horrida Weltner, 1893. In the Danube, the predominant species was found to be E. fluviatilis making approximately 80% of collected samples, while in the Sava River S. lacustris dominated, representing 46% of the river sponges. Our work represents one of the few studies on freshwater sponges within the DRB from long stretches of the large lowland rivers (more than 2500 km of the Danube River and about 900 km of the Sava River). Moreover, molecular analysis for the identification of freshwater sponges was applied on the material collected from a wide area, thus contributing to the systematic studies on the distribution and abundance of the European freshwater invertebrate fauna in general.

AB  - Freshwater sponges, compared to their marine counterparts have not been studied extensively in the past. The
standard approach in their identification is microscopy analysis of the sponge skeletal structures, combined with
the, ever more popular, genetic analysis. The aim of this paper is to briefly describe the use of light microscopy
and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), two methods applied in sponge ultrastructure analysis, as well as to
present preliminary results on identification of samples from the Danube River. Based on the reviewed material,
the species Spongilla lacustris (Linnaeus 1759) and Ephydatia fluviatilis (Linnaeus 1759) were identified.
This paper describes sample preparation and highlights some of the skeletal characteristics crucial for the
identification of these two freshwater sponge species, widespread in Europe, Asia and North America.

AB  - The genus Physa (= Physella) includes the most abundant and diverse freshwater gastropods native to North America. Due to their invasive nature, many species occur throughout the world. The most abundant species, Physa acuta, has been introduced to Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia by human commerce and migrating birds. This species is widely distributed throughout Serbia. The aim of this study was to explore the genetic diversity of P. acuta from Serbia, and to determine the evolutionary relationships among native Physidae populations from North America, Mexico and Cuba and populations from Europe, using sequences of the mitochondrial 16S rDNA gene. The ML (Maximum Likelihood) tree revealed two clades within Physidae, and two clades that correspond to the families Planorbidae and Lymnaeidae. In the Physidae clade there are two separate clades: one includes the species Physa spelunca, and the second includes samples of P. acuta. We determined three different haplotypes within specimens from Serbia. One haplotype is genetically closest to Physa heterostrofa (synonym of P. acuta) from Philadelphia, while the other two are very close to P. acuta specimens from New Mexico. Together with other samples, our findings corroborate the notion that we are dealing with one panmictic population of P. acuta and not with several separate species, despite the high genetic diversity between and among the populations. Our results indicate that in the same population in Serbia, there is high genetic distance between samples. Despite the small number of analyzed samples, our findings point to multiple introductions of P. acuta from different locations in America.

AB  - Water quality and status assessment of water bodies could be based on a large number of various parameters, including physical, chemical, hydromorphological, microbiological and biological. Often it is difficult to interpret the results of water status assessment when numerous quality elements are analysed, since each may indicate different quality class. The Water Pollution Index (WPI) overcomes this problem by providing a single assessment score. Previously, WPI was calculated using physical and chemical parameters combined with microbiological parameters. Biological quality elements are recommended by the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD) as obligatory for the assessment of ecological status of water bodies.For the fist time in this study, the index was modifid to include also biological parameters. Sampling
 and fild measurements were done in 2007–2011, at three sites on the Sava River in the Belgrade region.
According to the obtained WPI values, the river was assessed as polluted in 2007, moderately polluted for
the period 2008–2010 and slightly polluted (“pure”) in 2011. This result shows an overall improvement
of the water quality during the period of examinations. Our study demonstrates that the WPI could be effectively used as a metric for ecological assessment according to the requirements of the WFD. It should
be further elaborated to provide type- and stressor-specific assessment system.

AB  - Chironomid larvae respond rapidly to environmental changes in aquatic ecosystems, with different species possessing different degrees of tolerance. Consequently, this group is considered an effective and reliable indicator of the ecological status. In this study, the relation between larval chironomid assemblages and environmental variables was examined at two sites on the Kolubara River. The nonparametric Mann-Whitney U test did not confirm significant seasonal differences between samples. Correspondence analysis indicated that the study sites are distinguished by their community composition. Based on forward selection analyses, 5 out of the 28 analyzed water parameters and 3 out of the 22 sediment parameters displayed the highest levels of correlation with chironomid assemblages. Forward selection analysis revealed that inorganic pollutants in the sediment (mercury, nickel and cadmium) exerted the greatest influence on the community. Results of canonical correspondence analysis indicated that the sediment characteristics have a more significant impact on chironomid communities than the analyzed water parameters. Our study confirmed that chironomids and sediment analyzes should be obligatorily included in the monitoring of ecological status, since chironomids are often a dominant component of benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages in freshwater ecosystems, with many species inhabiting the sediment with a proclivity for intake of toxic and persistent pollutants.

At the researched localities 36 taxa, belonging to 9 taxonomic groups were recorded. Oligochaeta,
Gastropoda and Crustacea are the most abundant groups of macroinvertebrate assemblage and groups
with the highest number of taxa. According to indices which demonstrate the status of water quality at
the studied sampling points, it can be said that the localities downstream of the large settlements (Jarak
and Belgrade) have significantly lover water status – IV water quality class.

AB  - In this paper the status assessment of small hilly streams in the Carpathian-Balkan region (Eastern Serbia) is given based on aquatic macroinvertebrates. The research was conducted in April, June, and September 2013 at nine sampling sites on seven streams. During the investigation 85 macroinvertebrate taxa from 11 taxa groups were recorded. Diptera (32.06 %) and Ephemeroptera (28.47 %) were dominant groups. Following indices were used for the status assessment: total number of taxa, Saprobic Index, Diversity index H’, BMWP and ASPT, number of sensitive taxa and EPT. The results indicate low degree of organic pollution in analyzed streams.

AB  - Fresh water molluscs analysis was performed through three zones of The Danube main flow (1260-863.5 rkm) as well as flooding zone, on the left river bank from 1080 to 1085 rkm. Samples were collected seasonally (April, June, September and November), in three repetitions, along with samples for physical and chemical analysis of water and sediment quality. This research presents detailed summary of composition and distribution of malacofauna in analysed part of the river flow under different influence of anthropogenic pressure. Molecular methods were used for establishing phylogenetic relationships among native and alien species from Basommatophora order.Analysis of aquatic macroinvertebrate communities showed that river flooding zone is characterized by highest percentage of occurrence for insect groups (61.69%) as well as phytophilic species of freshwater molluscs (15%). Localities from riverine, transitional and lacustrine zone are characterized by large percentage of occurrence of Oligochaeta (37.89%, 63.83%, 83.99%), then Bivalvia (38.21%, 24.35%, 16.72%) and Crustacea (15.82%, 31.11%, 13.73%), which is characteristic for macroinvertebrate communities of potamon river type.Analysis of aquatic molluscs communities showed that 32 taxa from 28 genera and 13 families within two classes Bivalvia and Gastropoda were recorded.Class Bivalvia is represented with 12 taxa from four families within orders Veneroida and Unionida. Highest percentage, 92% from total number of all recorded taxa within class Bivalvia, was found in localities in transitional zone, about 75% in lacustrine zone; lowest percentage of identified taxa was recorded at riverine zone localities (41%).Classis Gastropoda is represented with 20 taxa from two subclasses, Prosobranchia (Orthogastropoda) and Pulmonata...

AB  - Proučavanjem zajednica akvatičnih makrobeskičmenjaka tekućih voda na područjuBeograda u periodu 2007-2011. godina zabeleženo je 115 taksona iz 48 porodica, 8 klasa i 5razdela. Istraživani vodotoci nalaze se pod velikim antropogenim stresom i prema važećemPravilniku o parametrima ekološkog i hemijskog statusa površinskih voda i parametrimahemijskog i kvantitativnog statusa podzemnih voda (Službeni glasnik RS 74/2011), svrstanisu u tri tipa i to: tip 1, vrlo velike ravničarske reke sa dominacijom finog nanosa – Dunav iSava; tip 2, velike reke sa dominacijom srednje krupnog nanosa – Kolubara; i tip 3, male isrednje velike reke nadmorske visine do 500 m sa dominacijom krupnog nanosa –Topčiderska i Železnička reka. Istraživanja su vršena od 2007. do 2011. godine u perioduvisokih voda (maj/jun) i niskih voda (septembar/oktobar). Takođe je korišćen i materijalprikupljen u periodu od 1996. do 2000. godine od strane istaživača laboratorije Odeljenja zahidroekologiju i zaštitu voda Instituta za biološka istraživanja "Siniša Stanković" Univerzitetau Beogradu.U tipu 1 vodotoka na području Beograda zabeležena su 63 taksona u Dunavu i 43 uSavi, sa dominacijom oligoheta. Najveći broj taksona zabeležen je u tipu 2 vodotoka, 78taksona u Kolubari, sa dominacijom insekatske komponente u zajednici. U tipu 3 vodotoka, uTopčiderskoj i Železničkoj reci, zabeleženo je 25, odnosno 36 taksona, pri čemu je uTopčiderskoj reci dominirala grupa oligoheta, dok su u Železničkoj reci najveći udeo uzajednici imale hironomide. Poređenjem sa rezultatima prethodnih istraživanja, analizirane supromene u sastavu i strukturi zajednica u istraživanim tokovima.Rezultati multivarijantne analize ukazuju da je karakterističnoj distribuciji vrsta u svatri tipa istraživanih vodotoka u najvećoj meri doprineo hemijski sastav sedimenta. Fizički ihemijski parametri vode su takođe, u velikoj meri, pokazali uticaj na zajednice akvatičnihbeskičmenjaka. Uočeno je da je u velikim rekama efikasnije razmatrati vezu zajedniceakvatičnih beskičmenjaka i višemesečne prosečne vrednosti fizičkih i hemijskih parametaravode, dok su u manjim vodotocima bujičnog karaktera trenutno izmerene vrednosti pokazaleveći uticaj na zajednice akvatičnih beskičmenjaka...
AB  - During the survey of the communities of aquatic macroinvertebrates of rivers andstreams in Belgrade region 115 taxa from 48 families, 8 classes and 5 phyla were detected.These waterbodies are under a high anthropogenic stress and, based on the Regulation on theparameters of the ecological and chemical status of surface waters and the parameters of thechemical and quantitative status of groundwater (Official Gazette of RS 74/2011), they areclassified into three types: Type 1, large lowland rivers with the domination of fine bottomsediments – the Danube and the Sava River; Type 2, large rivers with the domination ofmedium sized sediments – the Kolubara River; and Type 3, small to medium sized rivers atelevation of up to 500 m, with the domination of the hard bottom substrate – the TopčiderskaRiver and the Železnička River. The research was carried out from 2007 to 2011, in the periodof high water levels (May/June) and of low water levels (September/October). Additionalmaterial, collected from 1996 to 2000 by researchers from the laboratory of the Department ofAquatic Ecology of the Institute for Biological Research "Siniša Stanković" of the Universityof Belgrade, was also included in the analyses.In the Type 1 watercourses in Belgrade region, 63 taxa were recorded in the Danubeand 43 in the Sava River, with Oligochaeta as the dominant group. The largest number of taxawere identified in the Type 2 watercourses, 78 taxa in the Kolubara River, with the dominanceof the insect component of the community. In the Type 3 watercourses, in the TopčiderskaRiver and the Železnička River, 25 and 36 taxa were recorded, respectively. WhileOligochaeta prevailed in the Topčiderska River, Chironomidae were the dominant group inthe Železnička River. Changes in the composition and structure of communities in the studiedstreams were observed following the comparison with the previous findings.The results of a multivariate analysis indicate that the chemical composition of thesediment largely contributed to the characteristic distribution of species in all threeinvestigated watercourses. Physical and chemical parameters of water also showed asignificant impact on communities of aquatic invertebrates. Our results suggest that it is moreeffective to analyse the relation of the average values of chemical parameters across severalmonths and macroinvertebrate assemblages in the case of large rivers, while for smaller sizewatercourses of torrential character, the current values of chemical parameters were bettercorrelated with these communities and had a greater impact on them...

Takođe je korišćen i materijalprikupljen u periodu od 1996. do 2000. godine od strane istaživača laboratorije Odeljenja zahidroekologiju i zaštitu voda Instituta za biološka istraživanja "Siniša Stanković" Univerzitetau Beogradu.U tipu 1 vodotoka na području Beograda zabeležena su 63 taksona u Dunavu i 43 uSavi, sa dominacijom oligoheta. Najveći broj taksona zabeležen je u tipu 2 vodotoka, 78taksona u Kolubari, sa dominacijom insekatske komponente u zajednici. U tipu 3 vodotoka, uTopčiderskoj i Železničkoj reci, zabeleženo je 25, odnosno 36 taksona, pri čemu je uTopčiderskoj reci dominirala grupa oligoheta, dok su u Železničkoj reci najveći udeo uzajednici imale hironomide. Poređenjem sa rezultatima prethodnih istraživanja, analizirane supromene u sastavu i strukturi zajednica u istraživanim tokovima.Rezultati multivarijantne analize ukazuju da je karakterističnoj distribuciji vrsta u svatri tipa istraživanih vodotoka u najvećoj meri doprineo hemijski sastav sedimenta. Fizički ihemijski parametri vode su takođe, u velikoj meri, pokazali uticaj na zajednice akvatičnihbeskičmenjaka. Uočeno je da je u velikim rekama efikasnije razmatrati vezu zajedniceakvatičnih beskičmenjaka i višemesečne prosečne vrednosti fizičkih i hemijskih parametaravode, dok su u manjim vodotocima bujičnog karaktera trenutno izmerene vrednosti pokazaleveći uticaj na zajednice akvatičnih beskičmenjaka..., During the survey of the communities of aquatic macroinvertebrates of rivers andstreams in Belgrade region 115 taxa from 48 families, 8 classes and 5 phyla were detected.These waterbodies are under a high anthropogenic stress and, based on the Regulation on theparameters of the ecological and chemical status of surface waters and the parameters of thechemical and quantitative status of groundwater (Official Gazette of RS 74/2011), they areclassified into three types: Type 1, large lowland rivers with the domination of fine bottomsediments – the Danube and the Sava River; Type 2, large rivers with the domination ofmedium sized sediments – the Kolubara River; and Type 3, small to medium sized rivers atelevation of up to 500 m, with the domination of the hard bottom substrate – the TopčiderskaRiver and the Železnička River. The research was carried out from 2007 to 2011, in the periodof high water levels (May/June) and of low water levels (September/October). Additionalmaterial, collected from 1996 to 2000 by researchers from the laboratory of the Department ofAquatic Ecology of the Institute for Biological Research "Siniša Stanković" of the Universityof Belgrade, was also included in the analyses.In the Type 1 watercourses in Belgrade region, 63 taxa were recorded in the Danubeand 43 in the Sava River, with Oligochaeta as the dominant group. The largest number of taxawere identified in the Type 2 watercourses, 78 taxa in the Kolubara River, with the dominanceof the insect component of the community. In the Type 3 watercourses, in the TopčiderskaRiver and the Železnička River, 25 and 36 taxa were recorded, respectively. WhileOligochaeta prevailed in the Topčiderska River, Chironomidae were the dominant group inthe Železnička River. Changes in the composition and structure of communities in the studiedstreams were observed following the comparison with the previous findings.The results of a multivariate analysis indicate that the chemical composition of thesediment largely contributed to the characteristic distribution of species in all threeinvestigated watercourses. Physical and chemical parameters of water also showed asignificant impact on communities of aquatic invertebrates. Our results suggest that it is moreeffective to analyse the relation of the average values of chemical parameters across severalmonths and macroinvertebrate assemblages in the case of large rivers, while for smaller sizewatercourses of torrential character, the current values of chemical parameters were bettercorrelated with these communities and had a greater impact on them...",

AB  - U ovom radu prikazana je primena mitohondrijalnog markera citohrom-oksidaze I kod tri vrste
slatkovodnih prilepaka, Ferrissia fragilis (Tryon, 1863), Ferrissia rivularis (Say 1817) i Ancylus
fluviatilis (O.F. Müller, 1774), za potrebe procene autohtonog statusa istraživanih vrsta na području
Palearktika. Analiza je urađena na osnovu sekvenci COI gena 17 jedinki pomenutih vrsta, preuzetih
izbaze podataka „GenBank“. Analize su rađene na sekvencama dužine 612 bp. Poređenje je vršeno
između jedinki poreklom iz Severne Amerike (nativne za područje) i i alohtonih evro-azijskih
populacija. Vrsta Ancylus fluviatilis je uzeta kao „udaljeni“ (eng. outgroup) takson. Sekvence za analizu
preuzete su u FASTA formatu i poravnate su pomoću programa ClustalW, sa već zadatim parametrima.
Filogenetske analize su izvršene korišćenjem programa MEGA 6. Za izradu filogenetskih stabala
korišćene su dve metode: metoda najbližeg suseda „Neighbour-Joining“ i „Maximum Likelihood“ ‒
metoda maksimalne verovatnoće. Konsenzus stabla iz obe primenjene metode pokazale su da između
jedinki severno američke i evro-azijske populacije postoji veliki stepen srodnosti, što potvrđuje hipotezu
da su analizirane vrste unete iz Severne Amerike, a da su alohtone za područje Palearktika.
AB  - The paper describes the use of mitochondrial markers cytochrome oxidase I of three freshwater limpet
(Ferrissia fragilis ( Tryon , 1863 ) , Ferrissia rivularis (Say 1817 ) and Ancylus fluviatilis (OF Müller ,
1774 )) for the assessment of the indigenous status of the investigated species in the Palearctic. The
analysis is based on COI gene sequences of 17 individuals from above mentioned species, taken from
the database "GenBank ". Analyses were performed on sequences of length 612 base pairs (bp). The
specimens used in the analysis originated from the area of North America as native population and they
were compared with alien Eurasian populations. Sample from species Ancylus fluviatilis was used as
outgroup taxon. Sequences were download in FASTA format and aligned using the ClustalW program
with predefined parameters. Phylogenetic analyses were conducted using MEGA 6. For making
phylogenetic trees we used two methods: "Neighbour - Joining“ and „Maximum Likelihood“.
Consensus trees from both applied methods showed that individuals of North American and Eurasian
populations had high degree of similarity, which confirms the hypothesis that analysed species originate
in North America and they are invasive in the Palearctic.
