Constant diversification rates of endemic gastropods in ancient Lake Ohrid: ecosystem resilience likely buffers environmental fluctuations
Ancient lakes represent key ecosystems for endemic freshwater species. This high endemic biodiversity has been shown to be mainly the result of intra-lacustrine diversification. Whereas the principle role of this mode of diversification is generally acknowledged, actual diversification rates in ancient lakes remain little understood. At least four types are conceivable. Diversification rates ma...

12 Ancient lakes represent key ecosystems for endemic freshwater species. This high endemic 13 biodiversity has been shown to be mainly the result of intra-lacustrine diversification. Whereas the 14 principle role of this mode of diversification is generally acknowledged, actual diversification rates in 15 ancient lakes remain little understood. At least four modes are conceivable. Diversificat...
متن کاملThe Planarians (Turbellaria: Tricladida Paludicola) of Lake Ohrid in Macedonia
Kenk, Roman. The Planarians (Turbellaria: Tricladida Paludicola) of Lake Ohrid in Macedonia. Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology, number 280, 56 pages, 57 figures, 1978.—A revision is presented of the planarian fauna of the Lake Ohrid area, known for its richness in endemic species with limited distribution. Apart from the already known four endemic species of Phagocata and ten species of Dend...
متن کاملIntegrative taxonomy of a new species of planarian from the Lake Ohrid basin, including an analysis of biogeographical patterns in freshwater triclads from the Ohrid region (Platyhelminthes, Tricladida, Dugesiidae)
A new species of the genus Dugesia is described from the Lake Ohrid region in the western part of the Balkan Peninsula, forming the first fully documented species description for this genus in the Ohrid area. The morphological species delimitation is supported by complementary molecular, karyological, and cytogenetic data available from the literature. Therefore, species delineation is based on...
متن کاملDominant species of the gastropod fauna from the littoral region in Lake Ohrid of R. Macedonia.
The class of Gastropoda is one of the Lake Ohrid' macrozoobenthic groups, which characterize highest level of endemism. Since the first published references until now, studying the Lake Ohrid's snail fauna represents huge scientific challenge for many malacologists from the world. The high percent of endemic as well as relic forms among the lake's gastropods could be explained by the processes ...
