“…The distribution of glacial and recent species found at Črvenka were reconstructed with the help of international data [4,18,22,[35][36][37][38][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55] and the Hungarian Quaternary Malacological Data Base (which was developed in the 1990s) [22,56]. The creation of the Hungarian Quaternary Malacological Data Base (HQMDB) was connected to the research work of Endre Krolopp and Pál Sümegi (K-46878 grant: The creation of a Quaternary Malacological Data Base in Hungary, Hungarian Scientific Research Fund) and this Data Base was extended to several areas of the Carpathian Basin by the present authors.…”

“…Tundra and taiga species, such as Columella columella, Cochlodina laminata, Puctum pygmaeum appeared, and a mosaiclike Boreal forest steppe, consisting of tundra, cold steppe, and taiga patches evolved in the southern part of the basin. This type of vegetation occurs in southern Siberia and the Altai Mountains today [4,17,18,23,24,26,54,55,88]. In parallel to that, the ratio of thermophilous species, such as Granaria frumentum and Helicopsis striata, decreased in this level of the profile and euryok thermophilous species (Chondrula tridens) subsited, probably in south oriented slopes.…”

Studies of Quaternary malacological assemblages from the loess-paleosol section of Črvenka (Vojvodina region, Serbia) provided the opportunity to examine the paleobiogeographic dynamics of the southern part of the Carpathian Basin. The results of quantitative-statistical, paleoecological and paleobiogeographical analyses performed on 9185 specimens of 38 mollusc species from six stratigraphic units showed that the study area was a transition area between the refuge areas in the Carpathian Basin during the Pleistocene.

M. 2015 (October): European glacial relict snails and plants: environmental context of their modern refugial occurrence in southern Siberia.Knowledge of present-day communities and ecosystems resembling those reconstructed from the fossil record can help improve our understanding of historical distribution patterns and species composition of past communities. Here, we use a unique data set of 570 plots explored for vascular plant and 315 for land-snail assemblages located along a 650-km-long transect running across a steep climatic gradient in the Russian Altai Mountains and their foothills in southern Siberia. We analysed climatic and habitat requirements of modern populations for eight land-snail and 16 vascular plant species that are considered characteristic of the full-glacial environment of central Europe based on (i) fossil evidence from loess deposits (snails) or (ii) refugial patterns of their modern distributions (plants). The analysis yielded consistent predictions of the full-glacial central European climate derived from both snail and plant populations. We found that the distribution of these 24 species was limited to the areas with mean annual temperature varying from À6.7 to 3.4°C (median À2.5°C) and with total annual precipitation varying from 137 to 593 mm (median 283 mm). In both groups there were species limited to areas with colder and drier macroclimates (e.g. snails Columella columella and Pupilla loessica, and plants Kobresia myosuroides and Krascheninnikovia ceratoides), whereas other species preferred areas with relatively warmer and/or moister macroclimates (e.g. snails Pupilla turcmenica and P. alpicola, and plants Artemisia laciniata and Carex capillaris). Analysis of climatic conditions also indicated that distributional shifts of the studied species during the Pleistocene/Holocene transition were closely related to their climatic tolerances. Our results suggest that the habitat requirements of southern Siberian populations can provide realistic insights into the reconstruction of Eurasian, especially central European, glacial environments. Data obtained from modern populations also highlight the importance of wet habitats as refugia in the generally dry full-glacial landscape.
