principles and strategic guidelines. In general terms, many "living" karst
areas are wetlands, surface or subterranean. Both, direct or indirect
development pressures are increasing and threatening ground waters and
subterranean biota. Appropriate management, including conservation and
sustainable use, is crucial to maintain the functions and values of the
interacting karst surface and subterranean hydrological systems in the
whole catchment area and to prevent or mitigate threats to karst wetlands.
The Ramsar Convention can help on the one hand by fostering
conservation and wise use of subterranean wetland systems in general,
and on the other, by ensuring that examples of the most characteristic
karst wetlands are considered and added to the List to conserve their
values and characteristics, including unique and endemic biodiversity and
specific hydrology. Guidelines based on cave fauna could be elaborated.
Two examples from the Dinaric karst in Slovenia are examined for the
purpose. Škocjanske jame are a karst underground water cave system
developed in the area of Kras (i. e. the "classical" Karst). The main
hydrological characteristics are the extremely high fluctuations of ground
water level, moving water currents fed by rainwater, and pools of
stagnant water. A typical example of a complex surface and subterranean
karst wetland is the karst catchment area of the Ljubljanica River,
including a series of intermittent lakes on karst poljes and water caves
with underground rivers (Križna jama, Postojnsko-planinski jamski
sistem) well representing the interaction and interdependency between the
surface and subterranean wetlands belonging to the common
hydrographical systems. http://www.icsb2010.net/
BENDA (P.), 2010. On a small collection of bats (Chiroptera)
from western Sabah (North Borneo, East Malaysia).
Vespertilio 13/14:45-76. ABS: New records of bats from three sites
situated in the western part of the Malaysian state of Sabah (North
Borneo) are presented. Besides some common species (Cynopterus
brachyotis, C. horsfieldii, Megaerops ecaudatus, Balionycteris maculata,
Aethalops aequalis, Macroglossus minimus, Rhinolophus borneensis, R.
trifoliatus, Hipposideros dyacorum, H. cervinus, H. diadema, Myotis
muricola), several rather rare forms were also recorded. Cynopterus
minutus and Hipposideros doriae are reported from the territory of Sabah
for the first time, Cynopterus sphinx for the second time. Arielulus
cuprosus was found for the first time after its description from another
site in Sabah and remains a Sabahan endemic. Some notes on ecology,
morphology and taxonomy of several collected taxa are added. KW:

completes the knowledge of an occurrence of Bythinella austriaca
(Frauenfeld, 1857) (Gastropoda: Hydrobiidae) in surroundings of Prague
- capital of the Czech Republic. However, this species is not rare in the
eastern part of the Czech Republic, sites on north-western otskirts of
Prague are isolated far from the main distribution area. Altogether, 63
sites potentially suitable for B. austriaca were investigated in this area,
and occurrence of this species was confirmed in 11 of them. B. austriaca
was found in springs, rivulets and small brooks, more numerous
populations were found in springs. Historical occurrence data in this area
were compared with results of research done in 2003, 2006 and 2010.
Actual situation of this species in Prague surroundings is problematic and
survival of some populations is not guaranteed. KW: Bythinella

TRONTELJ, ISBN 978-961-269-286-5. ABS: In 2008 and
2009 stygofauna of the federal state Saxony-Anhalt was sampled from a
total of 78 representative monitoring wells. The goal of this study was an
initial survey of the groundwater fauna. Additionally, distribution patterns
of fauna and their relations to biogeographic, geological and hydrochemical
particularities were analysed. Faunal distribution patterns were
evaluated at three different spatial scale levels (biogeographic level,
landscape level, site specific level). The large scale distribution patterns
of fauna were clearly influenced by biogeography. At landscape level, the
major natural geographic units and the "Georegs" (combination of major
natural geographic units and aquifer types) were well reflected by the
groundwater fauna. On the local scale, the hydrologic exchange, in
particular the influence of surface water to groundwater was identified as
a crucial factor for the composition of groundwater communities.

978-961-269-286-5. ABS: The response to increasing temperature in
two cold stenothermal leptodirins, Neobathyscia mancinii Jeannel and
Neobathyscia pasai Ruffo (Coleoptera, Cholevidae, Leptodirinae) was
evaluated as lethal temperature (LT100 and LT50) and as expression of a
family of heat shock proteins (the constitutive form HSC70 and the
inducible form HSP70). Adults of the two species were collected in the
Damati Cave and Tana delle Sponde Cave (Veneto Province, NE-Italy)
and stressed by direct short-term heat shocks (1h, from 25°C to 31°C).
The expression of the HSP70 family was performed by qPCR on
organisms stressed at 25°C (= maximum temperature at which all the
tested organisms were alive), 28°C (= LT50) and 29°C (= sub-lethal
temperature). In both species, HSC70 level was constant with increasing
temperature, whereas a significant increase of HSP70 (= Heat Shock
Response) was observed, significantly higher in N. pasai. This could be
due to their different in-cave distribution: N. pasai colonizes the cave
entrance, where the temperature is more variable (= 5-18°C), whereas N.
mancinii is confined to the internal part of the cave where the temperature
remains constant (= 9.8°C). These results highlighted for the first time the
occurrence of a Heat Shock Response in cave insects and suggest that the
intensity of this response might be correlated to the adaptation to the
environment. http://www.icsb2010.net/
