Distribution. A wide area along west-east axis from SE of Shiraz to the far east end of Fars province is occupied by this species. No populations of this or any other Gammarus species can be found north- and southwards from that region due to presence of an arid desert in the north, and high salinities and temperatures of inland waters in the south (Fig. 1). Ecological notes. This species inhabits springs and occasionally first order small streams at altitudes from 1100 m to 1800 m asl (Mean = 1383 m, SD = 266), which are lower if compared to most other Zagros species. Water temperature in these places ranged from 12 to 24 ºC (Mean = 20.3 ºC, SD = 2.8). Waters had also higher salinities – the electric conductivity measured from 180 to as much as 1000 μS/cm (Mean = 471 μS/cm, SD = 133). Taxonomic remarks. The special shape of the basis of pereopod 7, having absolutely no protruding lobe on postero-distal corner (Zamanpoore et al., 2010 a, Fig. 9 C), could be a good identification feature for G. loeffleri, but some variation of this character was observed – in a few populations the individuals possessed a small lobe in this position. Regarding this and the type of setation on antenna 2 and on pereopods, the species might be confused at first glance with G. crinicaudatus. However, in G. loeffleri, the length and number of setae, especially on pereopods (ibid., Figs. 9 A–C) are much higher than in the latter species. Another species, close in both morphological and geographical terms is G. s h i r a z i n u s, although presence of two tiny spines on the ventral-distal corner of first peduncle of antenna 1 distinguishes it from G. loeffleri. Finally, G. loeffleri differs from G. komareki by having non-curled setae on antenna 2, presence of calceoli, highly setose pereopod 4 (ibid., Fig. 8 D), and much longer setae on many appendages, including pereopods 5–7, uropod 3, telson, and posterior dorsal margin of urosomites (ibid., Figs. 9 A– c, 9 F, 7 J, 9 D).Published as part of Zamanpoore, Mehrdad, Grabowski, Michal, Poeckl, Manfred & Schiemer, Friedrich, 2011, Taxonomic review of freshwater Gammarus (Crustacea: Amphipoda) from Iran, pp. 1-14 in Zootaxa 3140 on page 7, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20563

First records of two formerly overlooked Ponto-Caspian amphipods from Turkey: Echinogammarus trichiatus (Martynov, 1932) and Dikerogammarus villosus (Sovinsky, 1894)
No full textTo date, 13 species of Ponto-Caspian amphipods have been reported from the inland waters of Turkey. Two, probably overlooked species, Echinogammarus trichiatus and Dikerogammarus villosus, are here recorded for the first time from this country. Due to the atypical morphology, the identity of E. trichiatus was also verified with molecular methods, based on the mtDNA COI barcode. Both species, along with five other co-occurring Ponto-Caspian amphipods, were collected from Lake Durusu in September 2007. Our finding reveals high diversity of amphipods in this water body. It also presents the southernmost known localities of both species, and expands the checklist of Ponto-Caspian amphipod fauna of Turkey to 15 species. Taking into account the geographical range of both species, we may conclude that they are native to Lake Durusu and their presence there was previously overlooked.University of LodzThe authors wish to thank Piotr Spychalski, Janusz Hejduk, and Radomir Jaskula for their assistance in the fieldwork. Collection of the material was performed within the 3rd Amphi-Balkan Expedition, organized and led by Michal Grabowski. The expedition was financed partially from the internal funds of the University of Lodz and partially from the private funds of Michal Grabowski and Radomir Jaskula

Quaint Fantasy. Apprehension of Michal Ajvaz as an Author of Magical Realism
No full textThe thesis deals with a question if it is appropriate to consider Czech writer Michal Ajvaz to be an author of magical realism. His fiction usually incorporates supernatural objects or events into a natural fictional world just as in the fiction of magical realism. The thesis analyses the nature of magic motifs and events in the studied literature, as well as literary techniques, which are used to achieve this specific kind of poetics. By examination of the canonical works of magical realism, such as the novel One Hundred Years of Solitude by G. G. Márquez, The House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende or the novel Midnight Children by S. Rushdie, we can specify the structure of this literary genre and compare it to the texts of Michal Ajvaz. In a survey, we focus on two Ajvaz's early novels - the fantastic one The Other City (1993) and the philosophical prose The Golden Age (2001).
