While effects of some linear infrastructures on biodiversity are well understood, the direct effect of railways on the fauna (mortality) is known only for some vertebrate groups. We recorded animal mortality on a 15-km-long railway sector in western Romania. In total, 11 687 animals killed by trains were found of which most were invertebrates (99.19%). Almost 3/4 of dead animals (gastropods and mammals) had been killed long before the study began. Just like roads, this railway affected especially invertebrates, but proximity to a river could have biased our results.

Erythrotes murzini gen. nov. and sp. nov. from China (Sichuan Province) is described and illustrated. The new genus is close to EupromusPascoe, 1868, but the latter has smaller eyes, elytra with distinct costae and big punctation, mesocoxal process with distinct distal tubercle, and pronotum with black central line. Elytra of the species in Eupromus is not granulated. The new species described here is larger than most of the Eupromus species.

The paddy frog (Fejervarya multistriata) belonging to the family Dicroglossidae, is a species widely distributed in temperate and tropical Asia. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of F. multistriata was sequenced. The mitogenome was 17 677 bp in size, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 23 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, two ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, and a non-coding control region (D-loop). Like in other vertebrates, most mitochondrial genes of the species are encoded on the heavy (H) strand, except for ND6 and eight tRNA genes which are encoded on the light (L) strand. The overall base composition contained 28.03% A, 29.90% T, 26.91% C and 15.16% G. The alignment of the Fejervarya and related species' control regions exhibited high genetic variability and rich A + T content. In addition, we found that the tRNA-Leu2 rearrangement occurred in the LTPF gene cluster in the mitochondrial genome of the F. multistriata, resulting in a new arrangement (T-PL-F). There was a tandem duplication of the tRNA-Met gene between tRNA-Gln and ND2, and the similarity rate of the two genes reached 74.6%. The phylogenetic relationships based on nucleotide sequences of 13 PCGs was analysed by re-establishing phylogenetic trees (ML and BI). The results indicated that F. multistriata was more closely related to F. limnocharis than to F. cancrivora and F. manoharani, the two latter showing a new gene rearrangement (ND6-tRNA-Glu-Cytb-D-loop-ND5-tRNA-Thr-tRNA-Pro-tRNA-Leu-tRNA-Phe). Our results indicate that F. limnocharis sample found in Yancheng, and F. multistriata from Mojia, Santai and Ji'an, are possible conspecifics. This study on the mitochondrial genome of F. multistriata provides an important reference for the future studies on phylogenetic relationship and the taxonomic status of Fejervarya and related Dicroglossidae species.

Collection of moths and butterflies in the city of Arkhangelsk, Solovetsky Islands, Pinezhsky and Kargopolsky districts carried out between 2017 and 2019, and identification of occasional samples resulted in the discovery of 47 species of Lepidoptera not previously reported from the Arkhangelsk Oblast; three more species were added to the regional fauna based on published data. Especially noteworthy are the findings of Coleophora proterella (a recently described species; the first record from Russia), Clostera albosigma (the westernmost European record) and Bryotropha affinis (a rare, mainly coastal species in Fennoscandia). We also confirmed the records of eight species known from old publications only, and we report new localities for 318 species. To date, the known fauna of the Arkhangelsk Oblast totals 1188 species of moths and butterflies (639 species of microlepidoptera and 549 species of macrolepidoptera); 62 of these are classified as threatened in Finland. We estimate that the regional fauna of Lepidoptera amounts to 1800 species.

Here we present the first data on karyotype structures in five spider species belonging to the families Agelenidae, Salticidae and Thomisidae collected from Mediterranean and central regions of Turkey. An air-drying method was used to obtain mitotic and meiotic chromosomes. The karyotype characteristics including diploid chromosome number and sex chromosome systems were in Salticidae: Euophrys frontalis (Walckenaer, 1802) and Attulus distinguendus (Simon, 1868), 2n♂ = 28, X1X20; Thomisidae: Xysticus lanio C. L. Koch, 1835 and Xysticus ferrugineus Menge, 1876, 2n♂ = 23, X0; Agelenidae: Agelena orientalis C. L. Koch, 1837, 2n♂ = 42, X1X20. Sex chromosomes were identified tentatively. All species contained monoarmed chromosomes and there was a gradual decrease in their total lengths.

Sexual habitat segregation affects animal distribution and can lead to different life-histories across sexes. We investigated sex-related habitat segregation in the mountain hare (Lepus timidus) during the early-breeding and post-reproductive periods at the macro- (home range) and microscale (pellet location) by using pellet data sets from a non-invasive genetic population monitoring in the Swiss Alps. The data sets comprise six years (2014–2019) of sampling and include 119 individuals (70 males, 49 females). At the macroscale, the sex-related habitat segregation was weak in both periods but higher in the early-breeding period as compared with that in the post-reproductive period. Home ranges of females contained a higher proportion of forest stands in the early-breeding period. At the microscale, the sex-related habitat segregation for habitat characteristics was low in both periods. We conclude that habitat segregation between male and female mountain hares is weak during the early-breeding and post-reproductive periods.

As part of our research aiming to understand the morphological variation in ringed seals, we dissected mastication muscles of nine Saimaa ringed seals and two Baltic ringed seals. We found no significant differences in the muscles of mastication between these subspecies but the location of the tympanic bulla in relation to the articular surface of the temporomandibular joint was more medial in the Saimaa ringed seal. As compared with the previously studied Baikal and Caspian seals, the origin of the jaw-opening digastricus muscle covered less of the tympanic bulla in the Saimaa and Baltic ringed seals. Our data on masticatory-muscle masses indicated that similarly to terrestrial mammal species, the growth patterns of mastication muscles of the Saimaa ringed seal differed from each other according to the body size.
