“…However, in East Asia its natural distribution range reaches even the Amur River basin further north (Chekanovskaya 1981). The species is typical in waters with current velocity less than 0.5 m s -1 (Paunović et al 2005). According to Prater et al (1980), this species is abundant in Ohio (USA) waters with moderate amounts of organic input.…”

In order to determine the Oligochaeta fauna of the Anzali International Wetland (northwestern Iran), samples of bottom sediment and aquatic vegetation were collected from 13 stations eight times from August 2012 to June 2013. As a result of the study, 11 species and one genus were identified: Tubifex tubifex, Limnodrilus claparedeianus, L. hoffmeisteri, Potamothrix hammoniensis, P. bedoti, Branchiura sowerbyi, Nais pardalis, Ophidonais serpentina, Dero digitata, Stylaria lacustris, Slavina appendiculata, and Mesenchytraeus sp. Some physico-chemical parameters of the water (depth, temperature, dissolved oxygen, and pH) were measured at the sampling site. The average density of the total oligochaete community in the benthos of the wetland was 6077 ind. m -2 . The Shannon-Wiener diversity index was on average 0.92, with a maximum of 1.57 and a minimum of 0.44 at different stations. Results indicated that the maximum and the minimum density were observed in June (21 837 ind. m -2 ) and in December (1041.9 ind. m -2 ), respectively. Most frequent and abundant species were the tubificids L. hoffmeisteri, L. claparedeianus, and P. hammoniensis. All determined oligochaete taxa except T. tubifex were new to the Anzali Wetland, including seven new to the fauna of Iran. The structure of the Oligochaeta community correlated with the progression of the trophic state of the aquatic ecosystem.

“…Branchiura sowerbyi is a cosmopolitan species and prefers lentic or slowly flowing warm waters, being originally from the tropical regions of Asia (Timm, 1980;Paunović et al, 2005;Raposeiro et al, 2009). This thermophilous tubificid is considered an invasive species and it is currently found in many countries in Europe (http://www.faunaeur.org).…”

“…One of the potentially invasive species is a widespread tubificid oligochaete Branchiura sowerbyi (Beddard, 1892) native to Southeast Asia (Mills et al, 1993). B. sowerbyi can be typically found in warmer freshwaters that are rich in organic matter and with flow rates of less than 0.5 ms -1 (Paunovic et al, 2005). With high distributional spreading rates and high breeding rates, B. sowerbyi has a great invasive potential which could be triggered by various anthropogenic instabilities in freshwater ecosystems such as temperature, elevation or habitat degradation (Carrol & Dorris, 1972;Nehring 2002).…”

Notes and new data on the distribution of a non-native oligochaete: Branchiura sowerbyi (Beddard, 1892) in Croatia

The freshwater oligochaete Branchiura sowerbyi is indigenous to southeast Asia, but can be found inhabiting most of Europe. This tubificid was even described for the first time outside of its natural area of occurrence: in the garden of the Royal Botanic Society in London. It has spread over all continents except Antarctica, and in Europe it has been found in 23 countries. The presence of this non-native species may affect other species' relationships in the benthic community and thus have substantial effects on food webs of aquatic ecosystems. Our goal was to present the first comprehensive overview of the distribution of this potentially invasive species in Croatia as a basis for the future monitoring of the species distribution. In Croatia, B. sowerbyi was found for the first time in 1954 in Varaždin's thermal stream and the following year in the lake of the Botanical garden, Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb. To date, B. sowerbyi individuals were found on 64 different sites in Croatia, mostly occupying the Pannonian Lowland Ecoregion (ER 11) with only two findings in the Dinaric Western Balkan Ecoregion (ER 5). Vučković, N., Pozojević, I., Kerovec, M., Dorić, V. & Mihaljević, Z.: Pregled istraživanja i novi nalazi rasprostranjenosti alohtonog maločetinaša Branchiura sowerbyi u Hrvatskoj. Nat. Croat., Vol. 28, No. 2., 455-462, Zagreb, 2019. Prirodni areal rasprostiranja vrste Branchiura sowerbyi je jugoistočna Azija, no ovaj se maločetinaš može pronaći u slatkovodnim ekosustavima diljem Europe. Čak je i prvi opis ove vrste tubificida bio izvan njegovog prirodnog areala rasprostiranja, točnije u botaničkom vrtu "Royal Botanic Society" u Londonu. Ova vrsta danas je prisutna na svim kontinentima osim Antartike, a u Europi je zabilježena u 23 zemlje. Prisustvo ove alohtone vrste može imati još neutvrđene implikacije na zajednice slatkovodnih makroskopskih beskralježnjaka, kao i na funkcioniranje hranidbenih mreža unutar ovih zajednica. Cilj ovog rada bio je izraditi sveobuhvatan pregled distribucije ove vrste na području Hrvatske kao bazu za buduće nadziranje širenja te vrste. U Hrvatskoj je vrsta B. sowerbyi nađena prvi put 1954. godine u termalnom potoku u Varaždinu, a već sljedeće godine pronađena je u Botaničkom vrtu Sveučilišta u Zagrebu. Dosad je vrsta zabilježena na 64 različite lokacije na području Hrvatske, većinom u Panonskoj ekoregiji (ER 11), dok je u Dinaridskoj ekoregiji (ER 5) dosad zabilježena na samo dvije lokacije.
