Issue 10 of volume 47 of Historia naturalis bulgarica was published today, 1 October. It includes three articles.

The first, Acmaeoderella (Euacmaeoderella) villosula (Steven, 1830), a new record of jewel beetles (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) from Bulgaria by Mark G. Volkovitsh, Vladimir Sakalian, Chavdar Gussev and Georgi Georgiev, reports Acmaeoderella (Euacmaeoderella) villosula (Steven, 1830) as a new species for Bulgaria.

The second, The influence of ecological conditions on the formation of forest communities in the Selbe-Goliin Ekh Nature Reserve (Mongolia) with authors Yurii Rupyshev, Khadbaatar Sandag, Sergey Bazha, Elena Danzhalova, Yuily Drobyshev, Evgenii Bogdanov and Igor Petukhov, contains a classification of forest vegetation in the “Selbe-Goliin Ekh” Nature Reserve. Two associations of the class Vaccinio-Piceetea were distinguished: Carici iljinii-Pinetum sibiricae (dark-coniferous Siberian pine forests) and Vaccinio vitis-idaeae-Laricetum sibiricae (light-coniferous cowberry Siberian larch forests). Analysis of ecological groups revealed distinct differences between the associations. The obtained results underscore the role of ecological differentiation in maintaining biodiversity and the resilience of boreal ecosystems.

And the third, New species of Aspiculuris (Spirurida, Oxyuroidea: Heteroxynematidae) in Dolichotis patagonum (Rodentia: Caviidae) from San Juan Province, Argentina by Cynthia J. González-Rivas, Gabriel N. Castillo and Ivan Simoncelli, presents a description of a new species for science from Argentina, collected from the cecum of the Patagonian mara Dolichotis patagonum.
