ABS: Faunal distribution patterns and community structure in groundwater ecosystems are shaped by certain key factors working on different spatial scales. 1) On a large scale the faunal assemblages differ according to the biogeographic region. 2) On a regional scale the community structure of faunal groundwater organisms is shaped by regional particularities, mainly the type of aquifer. 3) On a local scale the strength of groundwater-surface water interactions and consequently the allochthonous input of nutrients and oxygen into the aquifer shapes the subterranean communities. The reliability of this hierarchical concept was tested combining and analysing data that were obtained by several groundwater studies across Germany. In general, the first results fit well with that concept, although large scale distribution pattern were not always in accordance with the biogeographical regions. http://www.icsb2010.net/ STEINER (H.), 2010.

Triclads from Italian groundwaters (Platyhelminthes, Tricladida):146, 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: Subterranean triclads from Italy include both stygobiotic and stygophilous species. The first record on triclads from Italian groundwaters is dated as far back as 1890 when Garbini reported the stygophilous species Polycelis nigra from two wells near Verona (north-eastern Italy). Up to now, among stygobiotic species, the genera Dendrocoelum (Dendrocoelidae), Atrioplanaria, Phagocata s. l. and Polycelis (Planariidae) are reported. Stygophilous species belong to the genera Dugesia (Dugesiidae), Dendrocoelum (Dendrocoelidae), Polycelis and Crenobia (Planariidae). Data on both stygobiotic and stygophilous species are mainly restricted to centralnorthern Italy and Sardinia. This contribution provides an account on the subterranean triclads from Sardinia with new records and a taxonomic synopsis on Italian taxa. Funds were provided by PRIN-MIUR and the EU project Interreg III Sardinia-Corsica-Tuscany. G.

This paper is dedicated to the late Prof. Janine GIBERT (University of Lyon, France), who along her life, with great passion, highly promoted research in groundwater ecosystems, representing a key-reference scientist worldwide. ABS: Species richness in ground water is still largely underestimated, and this situation stems from two different impediments: the Linnaean (i. e. the taxonomic) and the Wallacean (i. e. the biogeographical) shortfalls. Within this fragmented frame of knowledge of subterranean biodiversity, this review was aimed at (i) assessing species richness in ground water at different spatial scales, and its contribution to overall freshwater species richness at the continental scale; (ii) analysing the contribution of historical and ecological determinants in shaping spatial patterns of stygobiotic species richness across multiple spatial scales; (iii) analysing the role of β-diversity in shaping patterns of species richness at each scale analysed. From data of the present study, a nested hierarchy of environmental factors appeared to determine stygobiotic species richness. At the broad European scale, historical factors were the major determinants in explaining species richness patterns in ground water. In particular, Quaternary glaciations have strongly affected stygobiotic species richness, leading to a marked latitudinal gradient across Europe, whereas little effects were observed in surface fresh water. Most surface-dwelling fauna is of recent origin, and colonized this realm by means of post-glacial dispersal. Historical factors seemed to have also operated at the smaller stygoregional and regional scales, where different karstic and porous aquifers showed different values of species richness. Species richness at the small, local scale was more difficult to be explained, because the analyses revealed that pointdiversity in ground water was rather low, and at increasing values of regional species richness, reached a plateau. This observation supports the coarse-grained role of truncated food webs and oligotrophy, potentially reflected in competition for food resources among cooccurring species, in shaping groundwater species diversity at the local scale. Alpha-diversity resulted decoupled from γ-diversity, suggesting that β-diversity accounted for the highest values of total species richness at the spatial scales analysed.

Regional species richness and diversity patterns of obligate cave-dwelling fauna in the Classic Karst in Italy:50. 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: Local and regional species richness of the obligate cave-dwelling fauna of the Classic Karst in Italy (about 200 square kilometers, over 3070 caves known up to now), a well-known subterranean biodiversity hotspot, was assessed using: (1) bibliographic data (about 410 papers published between 1819 and 2009); (2) unpublished data collected by the Authors during the last 30 years; (3) data collected during a monitoring program (carried out in 2008-2009) using standardized sampling techniques applied to 28 caves. A database including the distribution of 382 species in 223 caves was assembled; 121 species (32%) were classified as obligate subterranean (33 of them being terrestrial, 88 aquatic); 105 species were considered endemic or subendemic to the Classic Karst. Based on species accumulation curves and jackknife 1, Chao2, bootstrap, and incidencebased coverage (ICE) estimators, we concluded that 82% of all species inhabiting the karstic area have been recorded so far (94% of terrestrial troglobiotic species, 75% of stygobiotic species). During the recent monitoring program (based on 28 caves out of the 223 surveyed), 45% of the whole regional fauna was collected, including 8 stygobiotic species new to Science. Notwithstanding the difficulty in assessing species richness of obligate cave-dwelling fauna because of the highly localized distributions of

The centipede genus Eupolybothrus Verhoeff, 1907 (Chilopoda: Lithobiomorpha: Lithobiidae) in North Africa, a cybertaxonomic revision, with a key to all species in the genus and the first use of DNA barcoding for the group. ZooKeys 50(June 30):29-77. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.50.504. ABS: The centipede genus Eupolybothrus Verhoeff, 1907 in North Africa is revised. A new cavernicolous species, E. kahfi Stoev & Akkari, sp. n., is described from a cave in Jebel Zaghouan, northeast Tunisia. Morphologically, it is most closely related to E. nudicornis (Gervais, 1837) from North Africa and Southwest Europe but can be readily distinguished by the long antennae and leg-pair 15, a conical dorso-median protuberance emerging from the posterior part of prefemur 15, and the shape of the male first genital sternite. Molecular sequence data from the cytochrome c oxidase I gene (mtDNA-5' COI-barcoding fragment) exhibit 19.19% divergence between E. kahfti and E. nudicornis, an interspecific value comparable to those observed among four other species of Eupolybothrus which, combined with a low intraspecific divergence (0.3-1.14%), supports the morphological diagnosis of E. kahfi as a separate species. This is the first troglomorphic myriapod to be found in Tunisia, and the second troglomorph lithobiomorph centipede known from North Africa. E. nudicornis is re-described based on abundant material from Tunisia and its post-embryonic development, distribution and habitat preferences recorded. E. cloudsley-thompsoni Turk, 1955, a nominal species based on Tunisian type material, is placed in synonymy with E. nudicornis. To comply with the latest technological developments in publishing of biological information, the paper implements new approaches in cybertaxonomy, including database and interactive key publishing, georeferencing of all localities via Google Earth, and ZooBank, GenBank and MorphBank registration of datasets. An interactive key to all valid species of Eupolybothrus is made with DELTA software.

ABS: The neotropical characid fish Astyanax, which has colonized Middle and North America at the end of Pliocene, has gained considerable interest in evolutionary research. It occurs in all freshwater habitats providing sufficient temperature conditions like rivers, creeks, stagnant pools, cenotes, and lakes. Within two restricted karst areas in Mexico it has even developed eye and pigment reduced cave forms. The various surface populations show considerable meristic and morphometric variation. This is probably the reason why a large number of species and subspecies have been described in the past. However, they were very poorly defined and their taxonomy is still a matter of research. Molecular studies of the cave populations showed that they have descended from multiple invasions of surface Astyanax at different times being the cause of different phylogenetic age. It is assumed that this is due to climatic change during Pleistocene. It was furthermore found that genetic introgression is a relatively frequent event in the cave populations. We performed a molecular study using mtDNA sequences and microsatellite data of several surface and the cave populations. Based on these markers several Bernard LEBRETON & Jean-Pierre BESSON Créé le : 01.01.2010 Modifié le : 30.06.2010 different haplotype lineages and microsatellite clusters could be discriminated. However, the clusters of the two markers were not congruent. Furthermore, the distribution of the clusters is mostly not correlated with geographic barriers. Such distribution pattern cannot be explained by deep vicariant events but rather reflects random colonization events. The taxonomic status of Mexican Astyanax populations is discussed. http://www.icsb2010.net/ STRITIH (N.), 2010. Auditory and Vibratory Sense of Crickets.

InFocus, Optical Measurement Solutions, 1:3 p., ISSN 1864-9203. www.polytec.com. ABS: In the life of insects, vibrational signals mediate important information that is used in various contexts, from pair formation to detection of predators or finding prey. Therefore, insects are equipped with both extremely sensitive receptor organs in the legs for detection of substrate vibrations and the underlying neural network enabling recognition and localization of the signallers in a complex environment. Without the use of special equipment to detect those signals, the intriguing world of insect vibrations would remain hidden to humans, which mostly communicate by sight and sound. STRITIH (N.), 2010.

In: 9 th International Congress of Neuroethology, Salamanca (Spain), 2-7 August 2010. Sponsored by the International Society for Neuroethology (neuroethology.org). Abstracts. ABS: Cave crickets (Rhaphidophoridae) represent an under investigated group of Ensifera with respect to mating behaviour and communication, since they neither hear nor emit sound. In this study we describe the complete process of courtship and mating together with the substrateborne vibrational signalling in the mid-European cave cricket Troglophilus neglectus. Males produce substrate vibration signals with abdominal oscillations during the close range courtship. As detected by laser vibrometry, only one type of signals is produced with the mean duration of 566 ms and repetition time of 2.2 s. Most of the signals' spectral energy lies below 300 Hz with the dominant frequency between 80-90 Hz. At the point of measurements, 5-10 cm away from the signaller, the peak velocity of signals ranged between 2.5*10-5 - 10-6 m/s. In the prothoracic nerve chord ganglion of T. neglectus six most highly sensitive vibratory interneurons that were previously identified respond to the respective range of frequencies and intensities; only one neuron, however, conveys this information directly towards the brain. To determine to what degree the vibrational system of T. neglectus may be adapted to detect intraspecific signals at further processing levels, we investigated spectral sensitivity and responses to play-backed male signals in the brain neurons using intracellular recording. So far two (groups of) local neurons have been identified in the lateral protocerebrum, with broadband excitatory "on" and "off" responses and inhibitory responses to vibration, respectively. In addition, three different types of physiological responses have been recorded, expressing low-, middle- and high-frequency sensitivity, respectively. Of these neurons, only one low-frequency tuned element responded to the signals of the male at the relevant intensity. ŠTURM (S.), SEDMAK (A.), ZORMAN (T.) & PERIC (B.), 2010.

ABS: Škocjan Caves ranks among the most important karst phenomena not only in Slovenia's Karst region, but worldwide. Škocjan Caves is on the UNESCO list of natural and cultural world heritage sites. It is also featured on the Ramsar list of wetlands of international importance as the first registered underground wetland in Europe. In this regard, a very important task is raising visitors' awareness of the importance of protecting endangered and protected plant and animal species. We therefore need to properly interpret scientific data and findings, and adapt and present this information so that it can easily be understood by the general public. In our case, we decided to use technical illustrations to present some of the most important species, with an emphasis on the aboveground and subterranean karst world. So far, twenty-seven
