© Biospeologica Bibliographia Publications 2010-1 Page 102 sur 116 stygobiotic and troglobiotic organisms have been discovered in Škocjan Caves. Epikarst fauna (i. e., Copepoda) is particularly abundant. Moreover, numerous troglophiles make their home in Škocjan Caves. Of particular importance are the greater horseshoe bat, the long-fingered bat, and the common bent-wing bat (Natura 2000 protected species). A total of twentythree students and thirteen lecturers and mentors participated in our project; activities included workshops in Škocjan and at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design (University of Ljubljana), and the Kaverljag Workshop. Over fifty illustrations were produced, illustrating ten troglobiotic and three troglophile organisms. These organisms have been incorporated into the illustration of the Velika Dolina cross-section with part of Škocjan Caves. The illustrations are accompanied by short texts explaining individual habitats, from karst forests, dry karst meadows, and steep cliffs to the bottom of dolines and the subterranean world. The illustrations are an attractive tool for interpreting the area’s natural heritage and biodiversity. This manner of presenting natural heritage is attractive and technical enough for people of all ages. Younger visitors are introduced to the plant and animal species, and visitors seeking more information can read the names of interesting species, learn about their habitats and ecology. One of the main goals of the publication is to raise awareness about the wealth and diversity of flora and fauna, as well as their vulnerability. http://www.icsb2010.net/ SUÁREZ-MORALES (E.), MENDOZA (F.) & MERCADO-SALAS (N.), 2010.

ABS: Kerala is situated on the South West coast of India and is unique with the presence of several water bodies of varying size ranging from large lakes, backwaters, rivers, lagoons, inlets, reservoirs and ponds. In addition, there are also deep wells of varying kinds contributing to the water sources on the area. These wetlands and their associated ecotones on the south west coast India offer ideal habitats for the much undiscovered subterranean fauna of the region. In this context, it is also worth mentioning that no comprehensive scientific information is available on the hypogean fauna of Kerala. This paper attempts to give the status of selected hypogean fauna of Kerala and reports on two new records of fish from the area. The first report of a totally blind hypogean fish, Horaglanis was reported from India. Later in 1963, one Synbranchid eel was reported from Kottayam, Kerala and was named Monopterus indicus. In 1996, the Synbranchid eel, Monopterus epeni was reported from the same district of Kerala State. A cavernicole, Synbranchid eel called Monopterus digressus was also reported from the southern part of Kerala. In 2004, another Siluroid blind fish, Horaglanis alikunhi was reported from the central part of Kerala. All these observations on the subterranean fishes from Kerala were quite accidental and the information regarding their taxonomical and ecological details are still fragmentary. This contribution also describes two new species of fishes adapted to hypogean condition from central part of Kerala. They were collected from an old well at Irinjalakuda, Kerala. The species belong to the genus Horaglanis Menon and Monopterus Lacepede. The taxonomic descriptions of the two hypogean fishes have been discussed with that of the genus of the same species described earlier. http://www.icsb2010.net/ Subterranean Ecology Pty Ltd, 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: The Devonian Reef Complexes of the West Kimberley, in northern Australia, contain numerous endemic communities of relictal fauna including both troglomorphic and stygobitic representatives from several key groups. These fauna are contained within a diverse range of habitats, which have only recently begun to be systematically investigated for subterranean biology, mainly due to the remote nature of the karst. Several distinct limestone ranges which have been investigated include the Napier Range; and to successively lesser extents, the Oscar, Geikie, Lawford, Laidlaw, Hull and Pillara Ranges. Access to areas of the karst that maintain elevated humidity during the "Dry Season", when surveys can be safely performed, have been a limiting factor for representative sampling success. This paper will use the biological diversity and endemism from Tunnel Cave, which includes four endemic species to highlight the need for further collecting and research in this important Australian karst region. The endemic fauna of Tunnel Cave currently includes Cheridiidae cheridium (Pseudsoscorpion), Bamazomus hunti (Schizomid), Kimberleydillo waldockidae (terrestrial isopod) and Tainisopidea, Tainisopis sp. (aquatic isopod). This cave is subject to high seasonal visitation during the Dry Season due to its large size and historical importance. As a result there are several cave management issues with regards to subterranean biodiversity. These include, trampling of habitat, rubbish and food being left in the cave, and disturbance to bat populations, which reside in the cave. These issues will also be discussed in relation to the cave's significant subterranean biodiversity values. The diversity of Tunnel Cave will also be compared at a broad scale with the subterranean ecology from other sites nearby in the Napier Range. The recent progress that has been made is hoped to further inspire continued investigation into this vastly unexplored region. http://www.icsb2010.net/ SUSAC (R. A. J.) & ZAKRZEWSKA (B.), 2010. Management of a declining watertable at Yanchep National Park, Western Australia; for the benefit of subterranean biology:93, 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: In 1997 Jasinska documented the biodiversity and ecology of cave streams from Yanchep National Park (YNP); revealing an extremely rich root mat ecosystem, containing Short Range Endemic species and Gondwanan relicts. These cave streams of the Swan Coastal Plain, are driven by the hydraulic head of the Gnangara Water Mound and are now severely depleted, as the watertable has dramatically lowered at a regional scale. This has been attributed to reduced rainfall, increased human abstraction rates and broad scale catchment interception from pine tree monocultures. These factors, being beyond the immediate control of managers at YNP, have resulted in various rescue strategies to be implemented over the course of this continuing water decline. The most recent and currently ongoing of these strategies, involves the mass pumping of water for the creation of localized artificial water mounds, to allow for cave stream recolonisation. This latest strategy has encountered a plethora of implementation problems and has been from the onset, a contentious subject regarding the sustainability of resource use towards this elusive goal. Despite this the project is progressing and will undoubtedly continue to inspire debate
© Biospeologica Bibliographia Publications 2010-1 Page 103 sur 116 regarding the value of our resources, both natural and anthropogenic into the future. We seek to highlight the ecological changes that have occurred in YNP in context of the water regime and the measures undertaken to preserve cave stream ecology. http://www.icsb2010.net/ ŠUSTR (V.), NOVÁKOVÁ (A.), LUKEŠOVÁ (A.) & VOŠTA (O.), 2010. Feeding biology of the cave isopod Mesoniscus graniger (food preference and digestive enzymes):123. 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: Terrestrial isopod Mesoniscus graniger (Isopoda, Oniscidea), morphologically adapted to cave life, is abundant in caves of the Carpathians. Food preference of this animal was studied using preference tests, presence of digestive enzymes and field observations. Nine cultures of algae, ten of microscopic fungi including two of yeasts and one species of cyanophytes isolated from caves were offered as a food to isopods in five replicates of three variants of multiple-choice feeding preference tests arranged on Petri dishes. Presence of animals inside the sector with particular food, directly on the food, and distribution of faecal pellets were monitored. Direct consumption of microbial cultures was evaluated from macro-photos using PC image analysis. Isopods clearly prefer algae cultures (mainly Protosiphon botryoides, Spongiochloris irregularis, Botrydiopsis intercedens and Stichococcus bacillaris) over other microorganisms in laboratory tests. Only algae were consumed. The sectors containing another kind of food were visited to a lesser extent. Amylase, maltase, saccharase and trehalase prevailed in the digestive enzyme spectrum of M. graniger. This species is attracted to organic deposits in the field but its occurrence is not restricted to bat guano. The investigation showed the contrast between visible preference of some type of living cultures of microorganisms in laboratory and the non-specific consumption of cave sediment and dead organic material in the field. The preliminary results from food preference tests and digestive enzymes presence in several species of cave springtails and mites are compared and the influence of restricted food sources on the biodiversity and food web structure in the cave is discussed. http://www.icsb2010.net/ SUZÁN (G.), ÁVILA-FLORES (R.), CARRASCO (R.), RICO (O.), ZARZA (H.), MENCHACA (A.), LACY (G.), CORTÉS (B.), MANZANO-MARTÍNEZ (M.

ABS: It is difficult to assess the distribution of paralytic rabies because outbreaks occur locally and are not distributed evenly across time and space. We used a multi-spatial approach to understand distribution, feeding habits, and rabies prevalence in vampire bats (Desmodus rotundus) in Puebla, Mexico. We identified relations in three spatial scales: (1) locally, we compared rabies prevalence and reservoir relative abundance from different caves and analyzed surrounding vegetation in a 2-km radio; (2) at landscape level, we analyzed the influence of vegetation and land use patch configuration (patch number, size, isolation, edges, species diversity, fragmentation index); and (3) regionally, we related rabies ocurrence in Puebla with environmental variables to produce a spatial model. We analyzed feeding habits using PCR techniques to identify feeding host and used different lab tests to identify rabies prevalence in bats. Locally, we found that large vampire bat colonies are related to higher rabies prevalence. At the landscape and regional scale, our results showed that D. rotundus and rabies prevalence are associated to edges in highly fragmented areas. Finally, D. rotundus feeds mostly in domestic animals, generally in cows followed by horses, pigs, donkeys, goats, and dogs. Presence of domestic animals is related to highly fragmented landscapes where contact rates between them and vampire bats occur. Changes in land-use, fragmentation, and cattle expansion in tropical areas have promoted vampire bat population growth, and rabies prevalence. This project is a model that can be extended to other areas in Mexico and represents a transdisciplinary and inter-institutional study that may help health authorities to prevent rabies outbreaks.

ABS: In the frame of the poster the authors will present a plan of the complex conservation work concerning seven bat species (Myotis myotis, M. oxygnathus, Rhinolophus ferrumequinum, R. hipposideros, Miniopterus schreibersii, Barbastella barbastellus, Myotis bechsteinii) in the northwestern part of Romania. Data concerning all aspects of bat activity will be gathered. Will be checked roost sites used in different periods of the year, foraging habitats, connectivity structures used during flights between shelters and feeding areas, migration routes. In all cases, appropriate, cost-efficient methods will be used for data collection: visual observations and counts in roosts, evening emergence counts, capture of specimens near roosts, at foraging or drinking sites or along flight paths with mistnets, hand-nets and harp traps, use of ultrasound detectors and ringing. We expect that by the end of the project on the basis of collected data, knowledge will be acquired about existing relations between roosts used in different periods of the year and feeding habitats. Comprehensive management plans will be compiled for the bat species targeted concerning all important issues of bats' seasonal activity and these management plans will be advanced to administrators and custodians of Natura 2000 sites and other protected areas to include them in the overall management plans of these sites. Beside this, specific conservation actions will be carried out: closing of 15 caves in a bat-friendly way, to minimize the disturbance of bat colonies, control of tourism and modification of lighting conditions in tourism oriented caves, placing out of artificial bat boxes to supply available shelters for forest dwelling bat species and to compensate in some measure the decline of old woodlands, and stop the human disturbance by warning signs.
