The molluscs of a previously unexplored site the “Ženklavský les” forest in North Moravia (Czech Republic) were investigated in 2002. Altogether 47 snail species were recorded (46 terrestrial and 1 aquatic). The molluscan fauna was dominated by woodland species including sensitive and endangered ones (e.g., Platyla polita, Sphyradium doliolum, Ruthenica filograna, Vitrea subrimata, and Daudebardia brevipes). The species Vertigo pusilla, and Vestia ranojevici moravica were encountered in the Štramberk environs for the first time and are of regional importance.

The molluscan fauna of the Velké Doly Natural Reserve was surveyed in 1999 and 2006. In total, 27 snail species were found (26 terrestrial gastropods and 1 bivalve). The Natural Reserve is only 1.5 km far from ironworks “Třinecké železárny”. In the 18th century, there was a limestone quarry and beech plantation (as a fuel for ironworks) in the reserve. At the present time the reserve represents the secondary forests society Tilio cordatae-Carpinetum with protected and regional notable plants in undergrowth (Cephalanthera damasonium, Lilium martagon, Arum alpinum, Hacquetia epipactis, etc). The present character of the Velké Doly Natural Reserve is a result of human activities, nevertheless it is preserved and favourable site for molluscs, since many stenotopic and endangered woodland species occur there (e.g. Discus perspectivus, Petasina unidentata, Oxychilus glaber). The presence of the vulnerable snail Discus perspectivus is notable as first locality in Poland part of Těšín region (the Natural Reserve Velké Doly is located on the Poland border). Occurrence of euryecious species Arion distinctus, Arion lusitanicus and Limax maximus could relate with some human impact (e.g. presence of allotted gardens colony).

Synanthedon mesiaeformis (Herrich-Schäffer, 1846) has been found in the Czech Republic and in Spain for the first time. The species was found in the south-easternmost part of the Czech Republic, near the town of Břeclav (faunistic quadrat 7267) in May 2008. The holes and pupae were found only in one, solitary growing group of trees about 20 years old. This finding place lies at a distance of more than 250 km from the localities in SW Hungary and about 550 km from the localities in eastern Poland. In June 2008, the species was found also in alders growing in the flat river alluvium on gravel sands between La Jonquera and Figueres in northern Catalonia. This locality is in a close contact with the fin­ding places near Perpignan and Beziers in southern France. The diagnostic morphological characters and bionomics of this species are briefly summarized and figured. The history of its distribution research is recapitulated and the causes of its disjunct range are discussed as follows. The present disjunct range represents a residual of the former distribution over the warmer and moister postglacial period; landscape modifications and elimination of solitary alder trees as „weeds“ from the 18th up to the mid-20th century in large areas of Europe; narrow and partly unknown habitat requirements and specific population ethology; an insufficient level of faunistic investigations in several parts of sou­thern and eastern Europe.

AbstractAlthough the Carpathians in Europe have often been considered a glacial refugium for temperate plants, vertebrates, and molluscs, the fossil records, the only indisputable evidence surviving glacial periods, are as yet scarce. Moreover, the distribution of fossil records is uneven, and some areas have remained unstudied. We present here three molluscan successions from such an area—the border between the western and eastern Carpathians. This area is not only a geographic border but also a border between the oceanic and continental climate in Europe, and the molluscan fauna reflects this. We found a fluctuation of this zoogeographical border during the late glacial period and the Holocene for several snail species with their easternmost or westernmost distribution situated at this border. Such a fluctuation could reflect a small-scale shifting of climate character during the Holocene. For the first time, we recorded the fossil shells of three local endemics, Carpathica calophana, Petasina bielzi, and Perforatella dibothrion. We also found a fully developed woodland snail fauna radiocarbon dated to the Bølling period. This early occurrence of canopy forest snails indicates a possible eastern Carpathian glacial refugium for them, including local endemics, and may reflect a more moderate glacial impact on local biota than expected.

A topsoil-dwelling Eastern Alpine terrestrial snail Aegopinella ressmanni (Westerlund, 1883) was found for the first time in the Czech Republic at nine sites in E Bohemia. Abundant populations of the species occurred in wet habitats of the Tichá Orlice River valley between the village of Hnátnice and the town of Brandýs nad Orlicí. These Czech populations were found 250 km far from the known northernmost sites in Germany and Austria.

Abstract A reproducing population of the common wall lizard (Podarcis muralis) is reported from the Czech Silesia (Czech Republic) for the first time. The lizards live in the ruins of the castle Šelenburk which is located on the Cvilín Hill near the town Krnov. This finding extends the known range of P. muralis from the nearest known Moravian locality cca 60 km to the North-West.

Im Rahmen des 38. Kartierungstreffens der Arbeitsgruppe Malakologie Mecklenburg-Vorpommern wurde die Land- und Süßwassermolluskenfauna des Inselsees bei Güstrow und seiner Umgebung erfasst. Dadurch konnte ein wichtiger Beitrag zur Molluskenkartierung in unserem Bundesland geleistet werden, denn es wurden in dem in den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten nur sporadisch bearbeiteten Gebiet 103 Molluskenarten nachgewiesen. Die Ergebnisse wurden mit den Daten früherer Erhebungen verglichen. Für den Inselsee konnten mit Ferrissia fragilis, Marstoniopsis scholtzi und Pseudanodonta complanata drei Neunachweise verzeichnet werden, während die Vorkommen von sechs früher nachgewiesenen Arten nicht bestätigt wurden. Somit sind aus diesem See nunmehr insgesamt 51 Arten gemeldet. Der offensichtlich durch Fraßdruck des invasiven ponto-kaspischen Amphipoden Dikerogammarus villosus in den letzten Jahren ausgestorbene Theodoxus fluviatilis wurde nur noch als Leergehäuse gefunden. In Moorseen in der Umgebung des Inselsees gelang unter anderem der Nachweis von Anisus vorticulus, einer Art der Anhänge II und IV der FFH-Richtlinie. Unter den 52 nachgewiesenen Landschneckenarten ist insbesondere der Nachweis rezenter Leergehäuse von Vallonia enniensis erwähnenswert. During the 38th mapping meeting of the working group malacology in Mecklenburg-West Pomerania, the land and fresh water molluscs of Lake Inselsee and vicinity near Güstrow were assessed, to provide a substantial contribution to the knowledge of mollusc mapping in our federal state. In this previously only sporadically studied area, as much as 103 species were recorded. The results were compared with earlier studies. Within Lake Inselsee, three species were found for the first time: Ferrissia fragilis, Marstoniopsis scholtzi and Pseudanodonta complanata. Six of the formerly recorded species were not found again. Altogether 51 species of molluscan fauna are known from the lake. Theodoxus fluviatilis was observed as empty shells only and has probably disappeared within recent years owing to predation by the invasive Ponto–Caspian amphipod Dikerogammarus villosus. In fen lakes near Lake Inselsee we encountered Anisus vorticulus, a species listed in the EU Habitats Directive (annex II and IV). Among the recorded 52 land snail species, the record of fresh shells of Vallonia enniensis is worth mentioning in particular.

The first part of the paper is devoted to the problems of city tourism in the Czech Republic. As an example of the possibilities of city tourism is mentioned own marketing research of Brno citizens about their recreation and sport activities in the town and nearest surroudings. The marketing research was conducted for the first time in 1997 and repeated once again at the end of 2001.The second part is oriented to the problems of the country tourism. As a practical case is used Southern Moravia project called Moravian Wine Trails. Empirical own experiences, especially personal interviews with local public administration authorities in 2003 and 2004 are compared with theory of local tourism marketing.

The title of this text, From the Book of Madness and Atrocity, published here for the first time, indicates its generic and stylistic specificity, its fragmentary, incomplete character. It suggests that this text is part of a greater whole, still incomplete, or one that cannot be grasped. In this sense Śreniowski refers to the topos of inexpressibility of the Holocaust experience. The text is reflective in character, full of metaphor, and its modernist style does not shun pathos. Thus we have here meditations emanating a poetic aura, not a report or an account of events. The author emphasises the desperate loneliness of the dying, their solitude, the incommensurability of the ghetto experience and that of the occupation, and the lack of a common fate of the Jews and the Poles (“A Deserted Town in a Living Capital”; “A Town within a Town”; “And the Capital? A Capital, in which the town of a death is dying . . . ? Well, the Capital is living a normal life. Under the occupation, indeed . . . .”).
