GPS tracking of Rousettus aegyptiacus: First evidence for large-scale navigational map in a mammal:302. 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: The ability to navigate is crucial for animals, yet navigational mechanisms are poorly understood, especially in mammals. Here we report the first GPS-tracking of bats. Egyptian fruit bats commuted from their cave to a remote fruittree in high, fast and very straight flights, and returned to the same individual feeding-tree night after night. Bats that were displaced 44 km south homed to one of two goal locations - cave or feeding-tree - that allowed ruling out navigation based on beaconing, route-following, or path-integration mechanisms, and suggested instead map-based navigation. Bats released within a deep natural crater exhibited severe disorientation, while bats released atop crater-edge homed well - indicating navigation by the geometric configuration of distal visual landmarks. These results provide the first evidence for large-scale navigational map in mammals. ULMEN (K.), NEWZELLA (R.), HUBWEBER (L.), SCHMITT (M.), KLUG (T.) & AHRENS (D.) 2010.

DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00248-010-9710-x. ABS: The biological colonization of rocks in the Cave of Bats (Cueva de Los Murciélagos, Zuheros, Spain) was studied in order to reveal the diversity of microorganisms involved in the biofilm formation. The culturable, metabolically active fraction of biodeteriogens present on surfaces was investigated focusing on morphological, ultrastructural, and genetic features, and their presence related to the peculiar environmental conditions of the underground site. PCR-ITS analysis and 16S rDNA sequences were used to clusterize and characterize the isolated strains. The presence of bacterial taxa associated to the photosynthetic microflora and fungi within the biofilm contributed to clarify the relationships inside the microbial community and to explain the alteration observed at the different sites.

DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s12526-010-0076-6. ABS: A new shallow-water representative of the carnviorous sponge genus Asbestopluma is described from the southernmost Antarctic region of McMurdo Sound. Asbestopluma (Asbestopluma) vaceleti n. sp. is a white, thin, sparingly branched sponge fringed by filaments along its entire length, with a slight thickening at the top of the branches. It was collected at 30 m depth by SCUBA divers from under densely populated overhangs of rocky substrata. The new species stands out among Antarctic Asbestopluma by the possession of forceps microscleres, a feature shared with several species from Arctic-Boreal waters (bathyal to deep-sea) and one from the Kermadec Trench (deep sea), but not previously reported from Antarctic species. A unique trait of the new species distinguishing it from all forceps-bearing Asbestopluma is a second category of reduced anisochelae. The new species is most similar to A. hypogea, a shallowwater cave species from the Mediterranean, which differs in having a smooth stalk and a filament-bearing ovoid body. A comparison is made with descriptions of Antarctic Asbestopluma species and all species possessing forceps microscleres. KW: Antarctica, Carnivorous sponge, Asbestopluma, New species. VAN TRUMP (W. J.), COOMBS (S.), DUNCAN (K.) & McHENRY (M.), 2010. P 317. Gentamicin disrupts both receptor classes in the lateral line system:643. In: 9 th International Congress of Neuroethology, Salamanca (Spain), 2-7 August 2010. Sponsored by the International Society for Neuroethology (neuroethology.org). Abstracts. ABS: Many behaviors exhibited by aquatic animals rely on the ability to sense water flow. In fish, flow sensation is mediated by hair cells within the lateral line system. This system is composed of two classes of receptors: superficial and canal neuromasts. Ethological investigations have sought to separate the roles of these two receptor classes using an aminoglycoside antibiotic, gentamicin. Gentamicin is believed to disrupt the function of canal, but not superficial, neuromasts. We tested this theory in vivo. In this study we used florescent vital dyes (DASPEI and FM1-43) following exposure to a solution of gentamicin. Contrary to the prevailing assumptions, we found that gentamicin disrupts the hair cells in both receptor classes. A significant effect was found for both the superficial and canal neuromasts of two different fish species (Astyanax mexicanus and Danio rerio). Furthermore, by labeling hair cells prior to gentamicin exposure, we observed that, in both classes, disrupted hair cell function is at least partially due to cell death. We conclude that gentamicin is not a reliably selective blocker of canal neuromasts. In light of this result, we have revisited the effect of gentamicin exposure on rheotaxis, an unconditioned orienting response to water flow. Prior studies have concluded that gentamicin exposure does not affect the rheotactic response, and that canal neuromasts are not important for rheotaxis. However, after carefully validating drug exposure with vital dye staining, we found that gentamicin exposure disrupted rheotaxis in the blind Mexican cave fish, Astyanax mexicanus. These results demand re-evaluation of many prior behavioral studies of the lateral line system. VANDEN BORRE (P.), 2010. Journée spéciale spéléo à Han-sur-Lesse et grotte du Fayt à Jemelle.

ABS: Mammalogy is the study of mammals from the diverse biological viewpoints of structure, function, evolutionary history, behavior, ecology, classification, and economics. Newly revised and updated, the fifth edition of Mammalogy aims to explain and clarify the subject as a unified whole. In recent years we have witnessed significant changes in the taxonomy of mammals. The authors have kept pace with such changes in the field and have revised each chapter to reflect the most current data available. New pedagogical elements, including chapter outlines and further reading sections, help readers grasp key concepts and explore additional content on their own. Two new chapters on domestication and mammal diseases are available on the Mammalogy website.

Phylogeny of the western taxa of the genus Monolistra (Crustacea: Isopoda: Sphaeromatidae):68-69. 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 exclusively subterranean genus Monolistra is predominantly distributed in the Dinarides; however some species penetrate westwards along the Southern Limestone Alps in Italy, reaching western Lombardia and Ticino in Switzerland. In order to highlight the phylogenetic relationships of the westernmost taxa, combined sequences of 28S, 16S and 12S r-DNA fragments in total length of pruned sequences of 1832 bp were analysed using Bayesian inference. The phylogram is characterised by three main clades with all taxa inhabiting the Alpine region representing a well supported (93%) monophylum. The branching order within the Alpine clade in the phylogram indicates a stepwise differentiation of Alpine species mainly in direction from West towards East. This is well exemplified by the well supported (100%) sister species relationship of two westernmost taxa, M. (T.) pavani and M. (T.) boldorii bergomas. All but one taxon in this clade belongs to the subgenus Typhlosphaeroma. Namely, the M. coeca julia, which is nested within Alpine clade, is morphologically more similar to species of the supposed plesiomorphic subgenus Monolistra, characterized by developed uropods. Geographically M. coeca julia inhabits the transition area, including parts of the Alpine and the Dinaric karst. On the other hand, M. (T.) racovitzai is the only representative of the Typhlosphaeroma subgenus in the Dinaric clade, forming a well supported monophylum with the species of all the other subgenera also limited to the Dinarides. This species and the species of the subgenus Microlistra are the most recent invaders at the NW edge of the Dinarides, with very little or no genetic differentiation among populations; however their distribution area does not override the western border of the Carso/Kras in Italy. Given the surprisingly large genetic divergence observed, the taxonomic rank of some taxa needs to be revised. http://www.icsb2010.net/ VIDAL (O.), 2010. L'évènement. Europe.

Species diversity and distribution of aquatic Crustacea in caves of Slovakia (Central Europe, Western Carpathians):146-147, 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 paper summarises the data from all available published sources (mainly of O. Štěrba, S. Hrabě, M. Straškraba, V. Košel, I. Hudec) and the author's own stygobiological research realized during 2002-2009. Slovakia is rich in caves (more than 5500), but relatively poor in stygobiotic or endemic crustacean species in comparison with karstic areas of southern Europe (mainly Balkan Peninsula). In total, 27 Copepoda (belonging to families Cyclopidae, Canthocamptidae, Diaptomidae), 4 Amphipoda (Gammaridae, Niphargidae, Crangonyctidae), 1 Syncarida (Bathynellidae), 2 Ostracoda (Ilyocyprididae, Candonidae) and 9 Cladocera (Daphniidae, Chydoridae) species have been recorded from water habitats inside the Slovak caves up to date. Among them, 23 species can be considered as stygobiotic or stygophilic. Of the subterranean crustaceans, Niphargus tatrensis and Bathynella natans are typical inhabitants of the cave waters, such as pools, hyporheic interstitial (mostly B. natans), as well as running waters or springs flowing out of caves (mostly N. tatrensis) in various parts of the country. The Dinaric- Bernard LEBRETON & Jean-Pierre BESSON Créé le : 01.01.2010 Modifié le : 30.06.2010 Carpathian endemic amphipod Synurella intermedia is known from four Slovak caves, and another species, Niphargus inopinatus, only from the Bojnicka hradna Cave near the Prievidza town. The common epigeic Gammarus fossarum tends to move in the hypogean environment. Its permanent and numerous populations showing a certain degree of reduction in eyes and pigmentation, were recorded in several underground streams (e. g. Brestovska Cave, Drienovska Cave, Milada Cave). Harpacticoida are represented mostly by members of the genera Elaphoidella (E. pseudophreatica, E. phreatica, E. proserpina), Bryocamptus (B. zschokkei, B. echinatus, B. typhlops, B. spinulosus), in some cases also by Maraenobiotus vejdovskyi, Paracamptus schmeili and Epactophanes richardi. Of the 15 cyclopid copepods, the most diversified genus is Diacyclops with its 6 taxa of languidoides-languidus group. Stygobiotic Acanthocyclops venustus, Microcyclops rubellus and stygophilic Paracyclops fimbriatus are also present. Ostracoda are known from several caves, but their taxonomic status is still unknown. Of all only two species have been identified: Ilyocypris bradyi from the Borova hora Cave within the Zvolenska kotlina geomorphologic unit and Cryptocandona dudichi from the Domica-Baradla cave system in the region of Hungary-Slovakia boundary zone. No stygobiotic Cladocera and Calanoida are known from Slovakia up to date. Findings of aquatic Isopoda from cave waters are absent. http://www.icsb2010.net/ VITTORI (M.), ŽNIDARŠIČ (N.) & ŠTRUS (J.), 2010. The gland-piliferous organs of Titanethes albus (Crustacea: Isopoda):126. 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: Gland-piliferous organs, male-specific structures with numerous setae and pores, characterize many species in the family Trichoniscidae. These structures are found primarily in the cave-dwelling representatives of this terrestrial isopod family, most notably in the genera Trichoniscus and Titanethes. In different species, variously shaped organs can be found on the dorsal side of different body segments. Although these structures have been analyzed in some detail in the genus Trichoniscus by other authors, such an analysis in Titanethes is lacking, leaving many open questions concerning their function and origin. In Titanethes albus, a large troglobitic trichoniscid inhabiting the caves of northern Dinaric Karst, the gland-piliferous organs appear as paired bulges on the dorsal surface of the fourth pleonite in males but are absent in females and juveniles. Their external shape and porous nature have been described by several authors and it has been suggested that they are glands involved in reproduction. They have, however, received little attention since the early twentieth century. The aim of our study is to provide a more detailed analysis of the organs' microscopic anatomy. We examined the pleons of several Titanethes albus males from Planina Cave (Slovenia). Histological inspection revealed a great diversity of cuticular structures forming the external part of the organ. Several types of scales and bristles are found on the dorsal bulges and in their proximity. Each of the numerous pores, approximately 3 micrometers in diameter, is surrounded by a cuticular veil. Aggregations of large cells filled with granules are connected to the surface pores by channels. These granular cells occupy much of the pleon’s volume. The surface structures and gland units of the organs in Titanethes albus appear similar to those reported for Trichoniscus alexandrae. Additional ultrastructural characterization will help us draw further conclusions concerning the organs' structure and function. http://www.icsb2010.net/ VIVES (E.), 2010.

Remipedia and the Evolution of Hexapods. Encyclopedia of Life Sciences. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/9780470015902.a0022862. ABS: With more than a million species that have already been described, the hexapods (insects and allies) constitute the largest animal group. Still their origin and phylogenetic affinities are matter of intense debate. Although previous morphological work generally considered the millipedes as sister taxon of the hexapods, molecular phylogenetic analyses agree that hexapods are actually closely related to crustaceans. Recent studies have provided evidence that the Remipedia, enigmatic
