© Biospeologica Bibliographia Publications 2010-1 Page 76 sur 116 colonies were collected from all visited caves. There were marked differences in CFU numbers among individual caves, the highest CFU numbers having been estimated in the Fanaţe Cave, probably due to the extensive bat colonization. In the Urşilor Cave, differences in CFU numbers were found between of airborne microfungi isolated during the day (tourist time) and those isolated during the night. http://www.icsb2010.net/ NSW Government (Environment, Climate Change & Water) & NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service, 2010.

In: 20 th International Conference on Subterranean Biology, Postojna, Slovenia, 29 August-3 September 2010, ICSB 2010 Abstract Book, edited by: Ajda MOŠKRIČ and Peter TRONTELJ, ISBN 978-961-269-286-5. ABS: For many groups of animals sulphidic habitats represent an inhospitable environment. Žveplenica (46°5′38.21″N 13°50′20.04″E) sulphidic spring (Dolenja Trebuša, Slovenia) was investigated for faunal diversity and for environmental conditions. The sulphidic spring is situated only some 10 meters south of Dinaric oriented (NW-SE) Kobarid fault and 2.3 km south of regionally important Idrija fault in coarse-grained massive Upper Triassic dolomite with tectonic situation typical for External Dinarides. The spring discharge was rather constant in the 2- year monitoring period ~1.8 l/min. Water temperature was 10.5 ± 0.2°C, with pH of 7.56 ± 0.12, and specific conductance of 419 ± 9 µS/cm. Measurements at the spring orifice showed low concentrations of dissolved oxygen (0.13 mg/l). Dissolved sulphide concentration was 7.8 mg/l, sulphate 9.9 mg/l, and nitrate and ammonium was 0.0 mg/l. At the spring orifice filaments of microbial mat were attached in variable quantity. Dry weight of filtered water at the orifice was 2.7 mg/l. Water samples for stable isotope analysis were collected on a monthly basis. The constant δ 18 O and δ 2 H values in Žveplenica spring indicate long residence times of water in the underground. Invertebrate diversity was screened in different seasons. Seven different taxonomic groups were identified in the spring: Gastropoda, Oligochaeta, Aranea, Acarina, Cladocera, Copepoda and insects larvae. The most abundant group were copepods. In the sulphidic water Bryocamptus echinatus luenensis, Bryocamptus zschokkei, and Paracyclops fimbriatus were identified. Among the indentified copepods ovigerous females and different copepodit stages were present. These species are known to have wide ecological distribution, but little data exists on their presence in sulphidic habitats. Long residence time of water in the underground (>5 months) and stability of physicochemical parameters in Žveplenica spring suggest that these copepods which were found in every season were able to tolerate low oxygen and high sulphide concentrations. The results give us an interesting insight into copepod diversity and their ecology with respect to sulphidic karst habitats. http://www.icsb2010.net/ OBRIST (M.

In: 15 th International Bat Research Conference, Prague, 22-27 August 2010, the conference manual: Programme, abstracts, list of participants, edited by: Ivan HORÁČEK and Petr BENDA, ISBN 978-80-87154-46-5, 380 p. ABS: Red Lists are generally accepted instruments for the appreciation of the protection needs of organismic groups. In Switzerland, all 30 species of bats were red-listed as late as 1994, strongly suggesting for a revision. To comply with the requirements of the IUCN for reproducible and quantifiable measures for red list status assessments, we first clarified combined occupancy and detectability rates of endemic species using data of a pilot study and previous habitat monitoring studies. Results were used to model different sampling schemes regarding to their ability to sense changes in occupancy rates. The models led us to devise a five stage procedure for censing Swiss bats: (1) assess habitat use with bioacoustic methods using a newly developed automatic recording unit (www.batlogger.ch), (2) assess habitat use with mist-netting captures, (3) assess roost occupancy by monitoring selected species in man-made Bernard LEBRETON & Jean-Pierre BESSON Créé le : 01.01.2010 Modifié le : 30.06.2010 roosts (attics), (4) monitor swarming and hibernating bats at and in winter roosts (caves), (5) evaluate occupancy estimations resulting from the above assessments with habitat suitability models. Model evaluations resulted in an optimal sampling strategy using 100 squares of 1 km 2 . At each site 10 locations were sampled for 15 minutes each. Sampling of a site is repeated four times, spread over two seasons, by two different observers. Two independent acoustic methods are applied: expert's appreciation of bats heard real-time, and simultaneous automated recording and later machine-analysis of echolocation calls. Additionally, at each square kilometre, one mist-netting night takes place to complement species' diversity. While the above surveys reveal data on distribution and ultimately occupancy of some species, abundance for species, which are challenging to detect acoustically, may be concealed. For these, we consult data from roost monitoring programs (e. g. Myotis spp., Rhinolophidae) for information on population changes. Time-series of catches at swarming sites (caves) and counts at hibernacula complete the assessment of the red list status of all Swiss bat species. We detail the study's design, present first results of some completed samplings and elaborate on the possible inclusion of the automated acoustic sampling into the established biodiversity monitoring scheme in Switzerland.

Journal of Herpetology 44(4, December):649-653. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1670/09-181.1. ABS: Posthatching parental care is known in amphibians for frogs and caecilians but, thus far, has never been reported for salamanders. Here, we describe the parental behavior of a female Northwest Italian Cave Salamander, Speleomantes strinatii, from egg deposition to nest site abandonment. The female was kept in seminatural conditions and filmed in complete darkness by an infrared video camera. In November 2007, the female laid nine eggs in a small depression of the terrarium floor, displaced the clutch with hind limbs, and showed antipredator behaviors toward a conspecific female and an intruding Roof Rat (Rattus rattus). During egg brooding, the female remained in contact with the clutch for about 98% of the time. In September 2008, two young hatched and shared the nesting site for six weeks with the female, which attended the nesting site for 87% of the time. Hatchlings repeatedly climbed over the female's body, lying on her for hours. The female walked out of the nesting site with a young on its back twice. These prolonged skin contacts between parent and offspring should be considered as the first certain case of young attendance in salamanders. This behavior may be related to increased survival of hatchlings during their first weeks of life, when young are particularly vulnerable to predation, skin infection, and dehydration.

ABS: Fauna of the ectoparasites of the chiroptera in Central Russia, Volga region, Caucasus, Ural and Siberia is insufficiently studied. Our investigationaimed to describe the species of ectoparasites of bat of the Ural region. Bats were captured in the five localities in 2004-2010: Dvurechensk, Ekaterinburg, and in the Divia, Smolinskaya and Arakaevskaya caves. Altogether 71 bats of six species (Myotis brandtii, M. dasycneme, M. daubentonii, Eptesicus nilssonii, Vespertilio murinus, Plecotus auritus) were investigated for parasites. In total, 891 parasites (insects and mites) of 12 species belonging to eight families were found. Eight mite species were identified; Spinturnix myoti (Spinturnicidae) was collected from M. brantdii, M. dasycneme and M. daubentonii. Spinturnix plecotinis (Spinturnicidae) were found on P. auritus only. Spinturnix kolenatii (Spinturnicidae) was collected from E. nilssonii. The following species of the family Macronyssidae were found: Macronyssus corethroproctus on M. dasycneme; Macronyssus ellipticus, M. granulosus, M. charusnurensis, and Steatonyssus sp. on M. brandtii; Macronyssus flavus and M. kolenatii on Eptesicus nilssonii; Macronyssus diversipilis and M. cyclaspis on M. daubentonii. The larva of an acarian mite belonging to the family Trombiculidae was found on the long-eared bat. Argas vespertilionis (Argasidae) was collected from Vesperilio murinus. Acantophthirius sp. (Myobiidae) was found on M. brandtii. Two species of bat flies (Nycteribiidae) were collected. Penicillidia monoceros was found on M. dasycneme. Nycteribia kolenatii was collected from M. daubentonii. Three bat fleas (Ischnopsyllidae): Ischnopsyllus hexactenus, I. obscurus and Myodopsylla trisellis were recorded. I. hexactenus and I. obscurus were found on Eptesicus nilssoni, but Myodopsylla trisellison, M. brandtii, M. dasycneme and M. daubentonii. The single specimen of Cimex pipistrelli was collected from V. murinus. The Ural fauna of bat ectoparasites consists of 14 species of mites, 3 of bat fleas, 2 of two bat flies and 1 species of bat bug. OROMÍ (P.), LÓPEZ (H. D.) & MANHERT (V.), 2010. Diversity and allopatric distribution in the Canarian MSS: a case study in an old island:29. In: 20 th International Conference on Subterranean Biology, Postojna, Slovenia, 29 August-3 September 2010, ICSB 2010 Abstract Book, edited by: Ajda MOŠKRIČ and Peter TRONTELJ, ISBN 978-961-269-286-5. ABS: The terrestrial hypogean fauna in the Canary Islands had been studied mainly in the four western islands, with relevant results on its high diversity and island speciation. Conversely, in the eastern islands this subject had been hardly accomplished because of the apparent worse conditions of their caves, either very dry (Lanzarote and Fuerteventura) or very scarce (Gran Canaria). Indeed, only 5 among the 124 adapted species so far know in the archipelago were described from the eastern islands, three of them from Gran Canaria. Our current sampling in the MSS of Gran Canaria has shown that the absence of caves does not imply an extremely poor fauna. A special type of pitfall traps has been designed for sampling the MSS continuously for a long time, with minimal disturbance of the habitat once the system is stabilized. 12 traps distributed in 6 different locations have been working during the last five years with some intervals, and have shown an unexpected diversity of subterranean arthropods. Pseudoscorpions have resulted particularly diverse in the MSS with 18 species, six of them new to science and five of them being more or less troglomorphic. These species have an allopatric distribution within the island, probably due to geological boundaries that have favoured local speciation. A similar but Bernard LEBRETON & Jean-Pierre BESSON Créé le : 01.01.2010 Modifié le : 30.06.2010 less strict allopatric distribution has been found in different species of the genera Oromia (Col., Curculionidae) and Symploce (Blat., Blattellidae). As a whole, the subterranean species from Gran Canaria have a lesser degree of troglomorphism than their vicariants in the younger island of Tenerife, either belonging to the same or to closely related genera. http://www.icsb2010.net/ ORTUÑO (V.

Update of the knowledge of the Ibero-Balearic hypogean Carabidae (Insecta: Coleoptera): faunistics, biology and distribution:157, poster presentation. In: 20 th International Conference on Subterranean Biology, Postojna, Slovenia, 29 August-3 September 2010, ICSB 2010 Abstract Book, edited by: Ajda MOŠKRIČ and Peter TRONTELJ, ISBN 978-961-269-286-5. ABS: The Iberian Peninsula, because of its special location in southern Europe and its abundance and diversity of karst, has a large number of hypogean arthropods, among which, there is a notable presence of Carabidae. Often, new discoveries of exclusive subterranean taxa are added, which are listed in the very briefly discussed catalogues of the Ibero-balearic fauna. This procedure, that is correct with regard to general catalogues of Carabidae, seems to be insufficient for the hypogean species. This work updates all faunistic, biological and chorological information available on the Ibero-balearic hypogean Carabidae. Finally, according to the distribution of the lineages of the most representative of them, a regionalization of the Iberian Peninsula in biospeleologic districts is proposed. This biogeographic proposal is compared with others already known, which have been elaborated with the study of other groups of Arthropoda. http://www.icsb2010.net/ ORTUÑO (V. M.) & REBOLEIRA (A. S. P. S.), 2010. Description of the third instar larva of a hypogean ground beetle, Trechus alicantinus (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Trechinae). Entomologica Fennica 21(1):33-42. ABS: Description and illustrations are provided for the third instar larva of Trechus alicantinus Español, 1971 obtained from a laboratory breeding. This paper aims to contribute to increase the general knowledge about microendemic hypogean species of the east of the Iberian Peninsula. Besides, it expands the existing knowledge about the preimaginal stages of the genus Trechus and the whole tribe Trechini (Coleoptera, Carabidae). Larvae can give additional information about the life style of the species. Larvae can also express, even more than the imagos, some apomorphic characters, traditionally considered a result of adaptation to the hypogean habitat, such as the regression of ocular structures. The characteristic lack of stemmata is discussed. This type of event, which also appears in other Trechini larvae, is probably more related to phylogenetic lineages than with an adaptive response to hypogean environment. http://www.entomologicafennica.org/Volume21/abstracts21_33.htm ORTUÑO (V.

Revue suisse de Zoologie 117(1, Mars):169-183. ABS: A new species of cavedwelling Anillini carabid Microtyphlus (Speleotyphlus) infernalis n. sp. found in a single cave ("Cova Soterranya", in Serra Calderona's Natural Park, a protected area belonging to the Valencian Autonomous Community) is described. In this cave, the populations are located in the aphotic zone, being subject to rather buffered variations of the abiotic factors and living in a biocoenosis with opportunistic elements and a low number of troglodytic forms, thus possessing a greater degree of biodiversity than the deeper zone of the cave. M. infernalis n. sp. is the most southern species of the subgenus Speleotyphlus. A total of six species belong to this subgenus. Three of them (M. (S.) comasi, M. (S.) fadriquei, and M. (S.) virgillii) are poorly known; the existing descriptions provide insufficient details and are largely inaccurate.
