“…Recently we found six molecularly distinct species of this genus in Romania (FALNIOWSKI et al 2009a, b) and ten molecularly distinct (9 of them not yet described) species in Greece (FALNIOWSKI & SZAROWSKA 2011). Several nominal species were recently reported from Bulgaria (GLÖER & PEŠIAE 2006, FALNIOWSKI et al 2009a, GLÖER & GEORGIEV 2009) and Montenegro (GLÖER & PEŠIAE 2010). FALNIOWSKI et al (2009b, c) and FALNIOWSKI & SZAROWSKA (2011) demonstrated that (1) the morphostatic mode of evolution as defined by DAVIS (1992) is common in Bythinella; (2) it is impossible to distinguish Bythinella species if there are no molecular data, although the morphology must be considered as well (BICHAIN et al 2007b, HAASE et al 2007.…”

“…In Romania (FALNIOW-SKI et al 2009a, b) we found greater genetic differences between Bythinella species than in Greece (FAL-NIOWSKI & SZAROWSKA 2011). However, the data on the genus inhabiting the zone between Romania and Bulgaria are scarce (FALNIOWSKI et al 2009a). Thus the aim of the present paper was to answer the following questions: (1) Can the pattern of genetic differentiation, decreasing from north to south, be applied to all the Balkans?…”

61 sequences of cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (COI), 570 bp long, from Central Europe (8), Slovenia (2), and from the Balkans (51: 6 from, Romania, 15 from Greece, 15 from Bulgaria, 6 from Serbia, and 9 from Montenegro), 33 of them new, together with 61 sequences of the ribosomal 18S, 450 bp long, all of them new, were analysed to infer the pattern of radiation of Bythinella in the Balkans. Thirty two nominal taxa of Bythinella (22 nominal species: B. austriaca, B. calimanica, B. charpentieri, B. compressa, B. dacica, B. dispersa, B. grossui, B. hansboetersi, B. luteola, B. micherdzinskii, B. molcsanyi, B. nonveilleri, B. pannonica, B. pesterica, B. radomani, B. rhodopensis, B. robiciana, B. schmidti, B. slaveyae, B. srednogorica, B. taraensis and B. viseuiana; one nominal subspecies: B. austriaca ehrmanni; and nine Greek species not yet described) were included, represented mostly by paratypes or at least topotypes, collected at 31 Balkan localities. The phylogeny, inferred on the combined data set with the ML approach, showed two large clades, although they were weakly supported. One of them comprised the Romanian and Montenegro populations, and one Serbian population, the other (less genetically diversified) consisted of one Serbian and all the Bulgarian/Greek populations. The origin of those two clades was dated, with the external data, to be more than 4.341±0753 MYA old, thus its origin was assigned to isolation by the Dacic Basin (part of Paratethys). All the Bulgarian populations presumably belong to one species, which may be assigned to the recent recolonisation of this territory from the south.

“…The divergence of Bythinella has primarily been studied in western, southern and central Europe (Boeters, 1973(Boeters, , 1998Giusti & Pezzoli, 1977;Falniowski, 1987), but these studies concentrated mostly on external morphology and anatomy, initially of the shell and later, of the soft body parts. However, morphology only cannot be used for the unequivocal delimitation of species because of the limited number of taxonomically useful characters and the high variability of those characters (Falniowski, 1987(Falniowski, , 1992Bichain et al, 2007;Falniowski et al, 2009a). In more recent studies with molecular data, several Bythinella species were identified and also several nominal species were synonymised (Bichain et al, 2007;Haase et al, 2007;Benke et al, 2009;Falniowski et al, 2009aFalniowski et al, , b, 2012bFalniowski & Szarowska, 2011.…”

To explain the origin of the differentiation of the spring-inhabiting fauna on an island system, this study focused on the Aegean Islands and the Bythinella snails as a model organism. We inferred the phylogeographic pattern of the Aegean Bythinella with two molecular markers, and compared the inferred pattern with the geological history of the region and the estimated levels of biodiversity of Bythinella in Greece. 95 sequences of COI and 60 of ITS-1 were obtained from samples collected from Andros, Crete, Naxos, Chios, Kithira, and western Turkey, and pooled with previously published sequences from continental Greece. Phylogenetic analysis based on the COI revealed seven new clades. On Crete, three distinct clades were identified. The estimated divergence time indicated that the geological history of the island, which was divided into smaller islands until 2-3 Mya, was most probably responsible for such high diversity. Bythinella populations inhabiting Turkey were distinct from the Aegean populations, and the divergence began after the Zanclean flood (5.3 Mya). Shell morphology and anatomy of reproductive organs confirmed that molecularly distinct clades were real entities. Biodiversity analysis revealed that, in addition to five previously known Bythinella hotspots, there is a sixth in central Greece.Keywords Origin and history of spring fauna Á Springs as ephemeral habitats Á mtDNA Á COI Á ITS-1 Á Morphology Á Phylogeography Á Biodiversity

“…In the case of the Truncatelloidea, as already stated, the shell morphology is often not sufficient for reliable species delimitation (e.g. FAlniOwski et al 2009a), and phylogenetic studies require the soft parts of the animals for anatomical studies and DNA extraction.…”

Geographical isolation is the main speciation-inducing factor. The current biogeographical and phylogenetic patterns of various organisms, among them gastropods, reflect past speciation events promoted by isolation resulting from geological processes. This is especially the case in the east of the Mediterranean Basin, where large-scale geological events, coupled with climatic changes, created a high environmental and topographic heterogeneity. This article reviews and summarises the studies on relationships between the phylogeography of the Truncatelloidea (Caenogastropoda) and the major geological events which have shaped the geomorphology of the Eastern Mediterranean and the Balkans. The evidence suggests that the geological events having the greatest impact on the biogeography of the truncatelloideans were: the initiation (~12 Mya) and end (~10 Mya) of the Mid-Aegean Trench; the beginning (5.96 Mya) and end (i.e. Zanclean Flood, 5.33 Mya) of the Messinian Salinity Crisis, and climatic oscillations during the Pleistocene (2.58-0.0117 Mya), especially the glaciations. Isolation shapes the pattern of inter-population diversity especially in the cave and spring fauna. The results of studies on the evolution of truncatelloideans in isolated cave habitats are also presented.
