Taxonomy of European species of Cassagnaudiella and Bourletiella (Collembola, Symphypleona, Bourletiellidae)

The taxonomy of the European members of Cassagnaudiella and Bourletiella (Collembola, Symphypleona, Bourletiellidae) is reviewed. The subgenus Cassagnaudiella Ellis, 197.5 is raised to generic rank with a new definition. Specimens earlier considered to represent a transformed form of Bourletiella radula Gisin, 1946 are referred to Cassagnaudiella , and the application of 'phenotypic neutralization' within the group is Considered erroneous. Four Bourletiella species and six Cassagnaudiella species are described, five of the latter which are new: C. cœnigouensis sp. n., C. luteovernalis sp. n., C. cadiensis sp. n., C. canigouensis sp. n., and C. trichroma sp. n., A key to species is provided.     

Breeding and rearing of Japanese field voles (Microtus montebelli Milne-Edwards) and Hungarian voles (Microtus arvalis Pallas) as new herbivorous laboratory animal species

Microtus species are very useful as experimental small animals with herbivorous characteristics. In this report, to approach establishment of the use of Japanese field voles (M. montebelli) and Hungarian voles (M. arvalis) as experimental animals, the biological characteristics, breeding methods and reproductive performance of these animal species were comparatively investigated. The number of chromosomes of M. arvalis is 12n = 46, differing from those of M. montebelli, 2n = 30. The breeding and reproduction of the Microtus species were relatively easily accomplished in the laboratory, by giving high fiber-containing rations. These animals prove to be polyestrous and showed postpartum estrous on the day of parturition. In the breeding by the continuous mating of the same pair, there was little or no delay in implantation due to lactation, especially in M. arvalis resulting in continuous birth at intervals of 20 to 21 days. On examination of vaginal smears, Japanese field voles (M. montebelli) did not show any definite pattern whereas 23 out of 30 voles from Hungary (M. arvalis) examined showed 6- to 18-day cycles. There were remarkable differences between the Japanese voles and the Hungarian voles, both biologically and reproductively.     

Meiosis in gray voles of the subgenus microtus (rodentia, arvicolinae) and in their hybrids

The results of light and electron microscopic (EM) studies of meiosis in Microtus arvalis males of the karyoform "arvalis" (2n = 46, NFa = 80), in hybrids between the chromosomal forms arvalis and obscurus (2n = 46, NFa = 68), in M. rossiaemeridionalis voles (2n = 54, NFa = 54), and in a hybrid between the species M. rossiaemeridionalis and M. kermanensis (2n = 54, NFa = 54) are presented. SC (synaptonemal complex) karyotypes of the parental forms and the hybrids were constructed on the basis of measurements of the length ofautosomal SCs revealed by the EM analysis in spermatocytes at the stage of middle pachytene. The SC karyotypes of M. arvalis and the hybrids female obscurus x male arvalis consist of 22 synaptonemal complexes of autosomal bivalents and the axial elements of the synaptonemal complexes of the sex chromosomes X and Y. The SC karyotypes of M. rossiaemeridionalis and the hybrid M. rossiaemeridionalis x M. kermanensis consist of 26 synaptonemal complexes of autosomal bivalents and a sex bivalent; they differ only in the length of the Y chromosome axis (Y chromosome in the hybrid was inherited from M. kermanensis). Asynaptic configurations of the autosomal SCs were not observed in the hybrids. The SC axial elements of the X and Y chromosomes in the parental forms and in the hybrids were located close to each other throughout pachytene, but they did not form a synaptic region. The normal synapsis in sterile hybrids (M. rossiaemeridionalis x M. kermanensis) and the behavior of the sex chromosomes in meiosis in fertile and sterile hybrids are discussed in the context of specific features of meiosis and reproductive isolation.     

Islands and the evolution of Microtus arvalis (Microtinae)

The widespread European vole species Microtus arvalis (Pallas) occurs in the British Isles only on Guernsey and various of the Orkney islands. The traditional explanation for this peculiar distribution has been that the island races are the sole relicts of a previously cosmopolitan form. This idea is not supported by the present study, in which population samples are compared with voles from a number of localities from Continental Europe. Using the frequencies of non-metrical skull variants as genetical markers, it emerged that although the Guernsey population ( Microtus arvalis sarnius ) was virtually indistinguishable from typical German specimens, and therefore likely to be a relict from the time when Guernsey was connected to France, the Orkney populations ( Microtus arvalis orcadensis ) formed a distinct group with affinities more to south Europe than elsewhere. It seems probable that arvalis was brought to Orkney by some of the earliest human colonizers about 4000 years ago, and then radiated to the different islands. It is argued that this manner of peripheral differentiation may be an important method of evolutionary change.     

The response of prey to Stoat (Mustela erminea) scent

Microtus agrestis and Orcadian Microtus arvalis avoid stoat scent and show a reduction in activity when surrounded by it. Such responses probably are adaptive and decrease the chances of an individual suffering predation. Since M. arvalis has been isolated from stoats on Orkney for several millenia the response is innate.
For reasons unknown Apodemus sylvaticus does not respond to stoat scent.     

Influence of introduced fish Percottus glenii (Odontobutidae, Pisces)

Monitoring of 28 waterbodies has been carried out since 1994 in the region of reserve "Lake Glubokoe" (Moscow region, Russia). It was revealed that species diversity as well as abundance of larval amphibians correlate negatively with presence of introduced fish, rotan, Perccottus glenii (Odontobutidae). Newts (Triturus cristatus, T. vulgaris) and frogs (Rana temporaria, R. arvalis, R. lessonae) as a rule are not capable to breed in waterbodies colonised by rotan. In contrast, toads (Bufo bufo) breed successfully in such sites. Larvae of toads are comparatively less edible for rotan and pass their metamorphosis. Persistence of amphibians to predation of rotan decreases in the row: B. bufo (R. temporaria, R. arvalis and R. lessonae), T. vulgaris, T. cristatus. The Crested newt (T. cristatus) is the most endangered species and could extinct in next years.     

Chromosomal and ontogenetic instability in sibling species of common vole (Microtus arvalis group): comparative aspects

Populations of chromosomal sibling species Microtus arvalis and Microtus rossiaemeridionalis were studied in Ural region in habitats affected by high radiation and the control ones. Frequency of chromosome disturbances in the marrow cells and fluctuating asymmetry (FA) of 8 craniometric characters were investigated. In impact populations the frequency of chromosome aberration was very high. Such frequency was also maintained in the offspring of the first laboratory generation of M. arvalis. In natural and control populations of both species frequently occurred individuals with anomalies in sex chromosome. Individuals of M. rossiaemeridionalis from Totsky radioactive region (forest-steppe zone) were characterized by very high integrative FA in comparison with control populations (southern taiga). At the same time neighboring impact and control populations of M. arvalis from southern taiga did not differ in this character. Despite the high level of caryotype divergence M. arvalis and M. rossiaemeridionalis showed similarity in mutation process that causes chromosome disturbances in somatic and germinative cells. Probably the level of FA of measured characters in both species is connected rather with geographical location than with man influence.     

Species specificity of karyotype instability under conditions of radionuclide contamination (the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant) in the voles, Micrototus oeconomus, Micrototus arvalis, and Clethrionomys glareolus

The comparative analysis of frequencies of different type cytogenetic anomalies in voles Microtus oeconomus, Microtus arvalis, Clethrionomys glareolus trapped in territories with different levels of radionuclide contamination inside the 30-km zone of estrangement around the Chernobyl NPP was carried out. Animals with constitutive chromosome abnormalities were not revealed. The frequency of lympocytes with micronuclei was the most universal and sensitive character to chronic low-dose radiation in investigated species. The species-specific relation was observed between level of radionuclide contamination in trapping zone and increase in frequencies of cytogenetic abnormalities: aneuploidy in Microtus arvalis and metaphase plates with asynchronous centromere fission in Microtus oeconomus. Common vole appears to be the most sensitive species of investigated ones to chronic low-dose ionizing irradiation.

Heterochromatin as a factor influencing X-chromosome inactivation in hybrids of the common vole (Microtinae, Rodentia)]

Expression of X-linked genes for G6PD and alpha-GAL was studied in female interspecific hybrids of Microtus. The G6PD and alpha-GAL isozymes of Microtus arvalis were found to predominate in all cases when a species carrying a heterochromatin block on the X-chromosome served as one partner of hybridization and M. arvalis containing no heterochromatin block served as another. The proportions of G6PD and alpha-GAL parental forms were approx. equal in hybrid females when both species participating in hybridization contained heterochromatin blocks on X-chromosomes. Cytological analysis for revealing active and nonactive X-chromosomes on metaphase spreads of hybrid females supports the biochemical data. Non-random inactivation of X-chromosomes carrying the heterochromatin blocks in the interspecific hybrids with M. arvalis and a random one, when both parents contain heterochromatin blocks on the X-chromosomes are supposed to be the cause for the phenomenon observed. The study provided data supporting our previous hypothesis that heterochromatin affects the X-chromosome inactivation process in interspecific hybrid voles.
