The present paper describes a diversity of water beetle communities inhabiting five small water reservoirs, located in the north-western part of Wolin Island, near of Świnoujście city (Poland). The analyzed aspects of beetle communities included differences in species composition and the abundance of beetles in various water bodies, taking into account such features of the reservoirs as their size, periodical character, maximum depth, structure of vegetation and the percentage of surface shaded by plant canopy. In total, 60 species of beetles were recorded in the reservoirs, including three species endangered with extinction in Poland, i.e. Haliplus apicalis , H. furcatus , H. variegatus, and one species critically endangered with extinction in Poland, namely Spercheus emarginatus. The largest number of species (42) and individuals (1294) was found in a periodical, relatively big, open and shallow pool situated in a lowland peat bog and covered with soft submerged vegetation. However, the population of beetles found in this location was strongly dominated by two species, Hydrochara caraboides and Hygrotus decoratus, which resulted in the lowest biodiversity coef ficient (H` = 0.705) in comparison with the other investigated reservoirs. In permanent but significantly shaded reservoirs, the number of recorded species was almost two times lower and the abundance of beetles was even eight times lower. However, in such water bodies the diversity coef icient had the highest values (0.981 < H` > 0.991). As fa As far as the environmental aspects were concerned, it was discovered that the most significant were the size of the reservoir and its permanent/non-permanent character. Only the differences in size reached the level of statistical validity (p = 0.040), explaining 34.8% of cases of species variability. The similarity among beetle communities inhabiting particular reservoirs varied from 31.63% to 53.3% and was connected with ecological similarity of the investigated water bodies.

We describe a fossil hydrophilid beetle Anacaena paleodominica sp. nov. from the Early Miocene amber of the Dominican Republic, which is the only definitive amber inclusion of the family Hydrophilidae documented. The species belongs to the Recent Anacaena suturalis species group known from the Nearctic, Neotropical, and Australian regions. The fossil demonstrates that representatives of the species group may already have been widespread and common by the Early Miocene, and indicates a possible Miocene/post-Miocene extinction of the aquatic insect fauna on the island of Hispaniola.

Genetic variability of three sympatric crucian carp (Carassius carassius) populations from NW Poland was studied within a research project aimed at assessing the utility of those populations for stocking in inland waters. DNA samples were collected from 65 individuals. Restriction analysis was performed using 4 enzymes (HaeIII, HinfI, FspBI, TasI) of known restriction sites. The restriction profiles obtained were classi fied as belonging to a single haplotype (H-1). Selected DNA products were sequenced; the subsequent comparison made it possible to detect the presence of substitutions in the genome fragment analysed.

97 aquatic beetle species were collected in the years 2006 and 2007 in three faunistic regions in the NE Poland (Baltic Coastline, the Mazurian Lake District, Podlasie). The most interesting species were as follows: Brychius elevatus, Deronectes latus, Helophorus pumilio, Hydrochus ignicollis, Spercheus emarginatus and Ochthebius flavipes. Four species have been recorded for the first time in the regions. First records of six species from the Pomeranian Lake Districts are also given.

76 species of aquatic and semiaquatic Coleoptera were collected in the vicinity of Olsztyn. Three species are new for the region: Hydroporus glabriusculus, Limnebius truncatellus and Berosus luridus
