folding of the HH sequences revealed that a potentially active HH<br />
ribozyme can be found in most of the Dolichopoda populations and<br />
species. Conclusions: The phylogenetic footprints suggest that the HH<br />
region of the pDo500 sequence family is selected for function in<br />
Dolichopoda cave crickets. However, the functional role of HH<br />
ribozymes in eukaryotic organisms is unclear. The possible functions<br />
have been related to trans cleavage of an RNA target by a<br />
ribonucleoprotein and regulation of gene expression. Whether the HH<br />
ribozyme in Dolichopoda is involved in similar functions remains to be<br />
investigated. Future studies need to demonstrate how the observed<br />
nucleotide changes and evolutionary constraint have affected the catalytic<br />
efficiency of the hammerhead.<br />

Hipposideros turpis is the only hipposiderid bat native to Japan. A longterm<br />
mark-recapture study in a nursing colony of this species has been<br />
conducted since 1983 on Iriomotejima Island, Okinawa Prefecture, Japan.<br />
There is great individual variation in the vocal signature of the attractive<br />
calls of new-born infants, which consist of one- or two-note syllables.<br />
The fundamental frequency of each note ranges 15~20 kHz and consists<br />
of 4 harmonic components with a maximum frequency of up to 80 kHz.<br />
Each infant repetitively emits its attractive call and, during growth, the<br />
fundamental frequency of each call increases, especially at the second<br />
note of two-note call of the Frequency Modulation (FM) type. Every<br />
night after foraging, the mother comes home and collects her own infant<br />
which has been left on the ceiling of the cave. Before the reunion for<br />
nursing, the mother touches the infant making it bark; this confirms by<br />
voice wheather it is her own baby. At each reunion, the infant emits<br />
attractive calls and the mother emits intensive echolocation type calls. By<br />
the age of three weeks, infants developed to emit pure-tone type calls of<br />
75~77 kHz, but the fundamental harmonic, which is a feature of the<br />
immature type of call, remains. The social call of adults recorded in the<br />
nursing roost are mostly warning calls, which consist of a series of graded<br />
signals reflecting different degree of warriness. Clear differences were<br />
found in vocal character of these calls; (1) a harsh bark of low frequency(<br />
8~24 kHz) appears to be an urgent warning; (2) an FM type of call of<br />
long duration appeared to denote the need for caution; and (3) a rhythmic<br />
FM type call (trill or chirrup) appeared to denote a middle range of<br />
warning. These finding demonstrate that the vocal activity of this species<br />
is high and that vocalization is closely related to different phases of social<br />
contexts.<br />

978-961-269-286-5. ABS: New groundwater ecology studies are<br />
underway in the UK to sample the many geologies and areas in which the<br />
groundwater ecology is largely unknown. More detailed studies are also<br />
being carried out to investigate the local geological and hydrogeological<br />
controls on the distribution of groundwater fauna. One area of focus is the<br />
English Chalk. Stygobites have been known in Chalk groundwaters from<br />
sporadic records for more than 150 years, but there have been no<br />
systematic investigations of their distribution, and the spatial variability<br />
of stygobites in the English Chalk is largely unknown. New studies have<br />
been carried out in recent years in the Chalk of Southern England. In<br />
Berkshire 19 boreholes in two catchments (total ~400 km 2 ) were sampled<br />
at maximum and minimum water level conditions. The hydrogeology of<br />
these boreholes is well known (the detailed chalk stratigraphy, the<br />
location of inflowing fractures to the boreholes, whether the boreholes<br />

contain upward or downward vertical flow, and the nature and size of the<br />
voids through which the water flows from borehole imaging data). The<br />
boreholes are in a range of topographical situations (valley and interfluve)<br />
with variable depths to the water table, and they are at varying distances<br />
from surface karst features. Results from these boreholes are used to<br />
investigate whether there are local geological and hydrogeological<br />
controls on the distribution of groundwater fauna, and whether there are<br />
variations between low and high water table sampling. In addition<br />
sampling at different depths in the boreholes was carried out to<br />
investigate whether stygobionts live on the bottom or in the water<br />
column. Results from the Berkshire study are compared to those from<br />
other areas to investigate any regional differences in groundwater fauna<br />
in the Chalk. http://www.icsb<strong>2010</strong>.net/<br />

978-961-269-286-5. ABS: The mixture of soil, epikarstic and<br />
hypogean fauna, as inputs and outputs of the vadose zone offers the<br />
possibility to understand the complex structure of this heterogeneous<br />
ecosystem, by studying the structure of its populations from two different<br />
habitats: fissures network and pools. Relationships between the copepod<br />
assemblages and the habitat characteristics from the vadose zone in caves<br />
from the Pădurea Craiului Mountains (northwestern Romania) are<br />
emphasized based on nine environmental parameters. The aims of the<br />
present research are to: 1. identify the dissimilarities between copepod<br />
communities from the vadose zone within and between caves and in the<br />
two different habitats: voids and pools; 2. depict spatial and temporal<br />
trends in heterogeneous copepod distribution in drips and pools along a<br />
vertical gradient in the vadose zone, in relationship to the environmental<br />
features at small spatial scale. Canonical Correspondence Analysis was<br />
used to explore the relationship between the copepod species and the<br />
environmental features. Vegetation cover was the most important factor<br />
influencing copepod diversity and abundance. Precipitation and the<br />
amount of drips were related to epigean species, while the electrical<br />
conductivity seemed to be related indirectly to hypogean species. Pools<br />
on limestone harbored a more diverse and abundant fauna than those on<br />
clay; the hypogean species prefer mainly the pools on limestone. Genetic<br />
analyses are in progress, extraction and PCR protocols are optimized for<br />
harpacticoid populations. http://www.icsb<strong>2010</strong>.net/<br />
