première fois, une espèce stygobie (vivant dans les grottes) de copépodes<br />
a été découverte en Thaïlande. Elle appartient à l'ordre des Harpacticoida<br />
et a été reconnue comme une espèce nouvelle: Elaphoidella namnaoensis<br />
n. sp. Les spécimens ont été recueillis seulement dans les bassins remplis<br />
d'eau de percolation. Ceci indique une écologie particulière pour cette<br />
nouvelle espèce, liée à la zone insaturée de l'aquifère karstique, où<br />
l'hydrologie est déterminée exclusivement par les précipitations. Une<br />
description détaillée de la nouvelle espèce est présentée ici, complétée par<br />
des informations sur son écologie et ses adaptations morphologiques. Ces<br />
adaptations sont comparées à celles rencontrées chez d'autres<br />
Elaphoidella de la zone insaturée des aquifères karstiques d'Europe.<br />

TRONTELJ, ISBN 978-961-269-286-5. ABS: Cave and karst<br />
ecosystem energetics are an important factor in understanding the<br />
microbial processes in aquifers. Determining the flux of dissolved organic<br />
matter (DOM), a source of organic carbon for heterotrophic<br />
microorganisms within an aquifer, from the surface into the subsurface is<br />
one method of tracking ecosystem energetics. The relative contributions<br />
of different sources of DOM can be evaluated using excitation-emission<br />
matrix (EEM) fluorescence spectroscopy since no photodegradation of<br />
OM occurs in cave and karst waters. This method can characterize DOM<br />
at natural, low abundance levels, and can differentiate recalcitrant DOM<br />
(e. g., humic substances) from more biologically labile material (e. g.,<br />
proteins, peptides, and amino acids). Consequently, in karst<br />
environments, the influence of surface derived (allochthonous) DOM can<br />
be distinguished from autochthonous DOM produced by microbial<br />
chemolithoautotrophy. Karst environments are heavily influenced by<br />
surface water recharge and allochthonous DOM. Autochthonous OM in<br />
karst is poorly understood because it is unclear how microbes contribute<br />
to DOM types and abundances, as either primary DOM sources or during<br />
degradation processes of allochthonous material. It is important to<br />
differentiate allochthonous from autochthonous humic matter for the<br />
interpretation of cave and karst ecosystem energetics. Autochthonous<br />
humic matter is often overshadowed by allochthonous matter; meaning<br />
allochthonous humic matter fluoresces brighter than autochthonous<br />
matter. In this study, our aim was to create an index of humic/fulvic acids<br />
and protein (tryptone) mixtures to help differentiate the overshadowing<br />
effects of the brighter humic substances by using difference mg/L<br />
concentrations of tryptone, Suwannee River Fulvic Acid (SRFA), and<br />
Pony Lake Fulvic Acid (PLFA), and different mixtures of these<br />
standards. Although the SRFA and PLFA standards mixed in different<br />
ratios with the protein tryptone will be less complex than natural cave<br />
waters, we will be able to see if there is any substantial fluorescence<br />
overshadowing of tryptone by SRFA and PLFA. This index, coupled with<br />
a detailed analysis of microbial communities in specific subsurface<br />
environments could allow for a greater understanding of microbial<br />
processes and metabolisms within the subsurface.<br />

In two previous papers we have shown, first, that two phyllostomids, the<br />
trawling bat, Macrophyllum macrophyllum and the fruit-eating bat,<br />
Artibeus jamaicensis can emit echolocation calls of considerable intensity<br />
and, second, that M. macrophyllum dynamically adapts call intensity to<br />
habitat complexity. Here, we investigate on a broader scale the ecological<br />
correlates of echolocation call intensity in phyllostomids. We recorded<br />
bats with multi-microphone arrays at several sites in Panamá and Cuba.<br />
For example, at cave openings as the bats left their day roost, at fruiting<br />
fig trees along a shoreline and at ca. 40 m height from a canopy crane<br />
immersed into a fruiting fig tree. Assuming that habitat does indeed act as<br />
a unifying constraint on call intensity, we expected to record relatively<br />
similar source levels at each individual site. The sites were chosen to<br />
represent different perceptual tasks (leaving the roost; approaching a<br />
foraging site) and thus different sonar challenges. We discuss flexibility<br />

in sonar call intensity of phyllostomid bats, which often forage in highly<br />
cluttered space, but also use echolocation range to orient in situations<br />
where intense calls might be advantageous, for example when commuting<br />
in open space to a feeding site.<br />

http://dx.doi.org/10.1656/045.017.0207. ABS: In temperate<br />
ecosystems, hibernation allows bats to survive long periods of limited<br />
prey and water availability during colder months. Despite the extended<br />
amount of time some bats spend in hibernation, researchers have only<br />
recently been able to study the hibernation ecology of bats under natural<br />
conditions. With the emergence of white-nose syndrome (WNS), a<br />
mysterious disease presently killing large numbers of bats during the<br />
hibernation period in the northeastern United States, expanding our<br />
knowledge of hibernation ecology and natural history has become more<br />
crucial. To collect such data, we used temperature-sensitive radio<br />
transmitters and data loggers to monitor the skin temperatures (Tsk) of 6<br />
bats (5 Myotis lucifugus [Little Brown Bat], and 1 Myotis septentrionalis<br />
[Northern Long-eared Bat]) hibernating in Mount Aeolus Cave, VT in<br />
late winter 2008. We recorded Tsk every 14 minutes for the life of the<br />
transmitters. We were able to monitor Tsk from near ambient temperatures<br />
to above 30°C Arousals occurred immediately before the signals were<br />
lost and at a time of increased numbers of bats observed on the landscape,<br />
thereby suggesting the emergence (and subsequent death) of bats. Our<br />
observations provide first data on the hibernating ecology of WNSaffected<br />
bats under natural conditions.<br />

87154-46-5, 380 p. ABS: Much of the Western United States was<br />
settled as a result of mining. When the mines were abandoned, bats<br />
colonized these new "caves". Cities grew up around some mining<br />
districts. Even in remote areas, mines are visited by people exploring on<br />
off- highway vehicles. Abandoned mines can be hazardous, and accidents<br />
result. The recent influx of funds in the United States for mine closure has<br />
stimulated a rush to remediate mine hazards on federal lands. To attain<br />
the goal of the Economic Stimulus Package of putting more people to<br />
work, some people are involved who do not have experience in bat<br />
biology or bat-compatible closures. If done properly, bats in mines could<br />
be protected through the installation of bat gates and cupolas. However if<br />
bat habitat is not identified, mines could be closed through foam and<br />
backfill that would deprive bats of roosting habitat and potentially kill<br />
them, especially if exclusions are not done properly at the appropriate<br />
time of year. Most bat species use a variety of roosts throughout the<br />
annual cycle as dictated by physiological and behavioral needs. The<br />
timing of surveys will influence the ability to detect bat use of a mine<br />
feature, which can affect the treatment that a mine may receive (hard or<br />
bat-compatible closure). There is no substitute for site-specific bat<br />
surveys using established protocols to detect bat use, nor is there a<br />
universal style of mine closure. Some bat colonies do not accept culverts<br />
or even gates. To understand the importance of a single mine feature,<br />
most of the mines in a geographic unit may need to be evaluated in order<br />
to determine those with the most significant bat use at different times of<br />
the year. The scope of the "landscape" will depend on the species of bat
