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/

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/

BENDA, ISBN 978-80-87154-46-5, 380 p. 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. Conservation and livestock

conference manual: Programme, abstracts, list of

BENDA, ISBN 978-80-87154-46-5, 380 p. 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.
