© Biospeologica Bibliographia Publications 2010-1 Page 16 sur 116 hibernation seasons (October-March 1979-1986) in western Oklahoma. Average mass entering hibernation was 14.4 g for males and 15.4 g for females. At the end of hibernation, average mass of males and females was 11.5 and 12.0 g, respectively. Males lost an average of 2.9 g (20.1%) and females lost 3.4 g (22.1%). During hibernation, males and females lost 0.021 and 0.024 g/day, respectively. We detected no difference in rate of loss of mass between the first and second halves of hibernation for either sex. Males and females lost 3.8 and 4.1 g, respectively, during 2005-2006, when only two visits were made to the cave (October and March). These values for loss in mass were slightly more than losses recorded for males and females when bats were sampled each month during hibernation. RES: Este estudio caracteriza la pérdida del peso corporal de los murciélagos, Myotis velifer, en 7 estaciones de la hibernación (octubre-marzo 1979-1986) en Oklahoma occidental. El peso mediano al inicio de la hibernación para los machos fue 14.4 g y para las hembras 15.4 g. El peso mediano de machos y de hembras al final de la hibernación fue 11.5 y 12.0 g, respectivamente. Los machos perdieron un promedio de 2.9 g (20.1%) y las hembras perdieron 3.4 g (22.1%). Durante la hibernación, los machos y las hembras perdieron 0.021 y 0.024 g/dia, respectivamente. No detectamos ninguna diferencia en la tasa de la pérdida del peso entre la primera y segunda mitad de la hibernación para ambos sexos. Machos y hembras perdieron 3.8 g y 4.1 g, respectivamente, durante 2005-2006 cuando solamente se hicieron dos visitas a la cueva (octubre y marzo). Estos valores de la pérdida de peso fueron levemente más que la pérdida del peso registrada para machos y hembras cuando los murciélagos fueron muestreados cada mes durante la hibernación.

ABS: A new genus and species of the family Parabathynellidae, Octobathynella peelensis gen. nov. sp. nov., is described from New South Wales, Australia. The new genus displays several exclusive characters: a very large and distinctive male thoracopod VIII with one crest-like projection containing two lobules on the basipod; and four aesthetascs on segments six and seven of the antennule. It also has several combinations of characters that make it unique in the Parabathynellidae, specifically that: the antennule is eight-segmented (a new character in the Australian species); there are seven segments in the antenna; the labrum has 18-20 teeth; the exopod of thoracopod I has three to four segments and the exopod of thoracopod II has four segments; the endopod has one dorsal seta on the first and second segments and the epipod is absent on thoracopod I; pleopods are absent; the endopod of the male thoracopod VIII has two setae and the exopod has setules; there are 10-12 spines on the sympod, three or four spines on the endopod and five setae on the exopod of the uropod. The new genus and species is placed into context with all known Bathynellacea in Australia, and the biogeographic patterns are discussed for this ancient group of subterranean crustaceans.

Zootaxa 2495(June 4):1-52, 4 pl., 50 réf. ABS: We compiled all the available information regarding spider species distribution in the Iberian Peninsula (including the Balearic Islands). At present, 1335 species are known from the region, of which 236 are Iberian endemics, in 373 genera and 55 families. Portugal presents 768 species and Spain (including Andorra and Gibraltar), 1213 species. Although the work developed during recent decades has allowed a major increase in our knowledge of this group, there are certainly many species yet to be found and, for those already listed, the distribution is largely unknown. Although linyphiids present the highest number of known species (267), dysderids present the highest Bernard LEBRETON & Jean-Pierre BESSON Créé le : 01.01.2010 Modifié le : 30.06.2010 endemic richness (46 species). Information regarding the provinces from where each species was referenced is also presented and reveals large differences in the knowledge about each province, with most presenting very few known records and species. This checklist is accompanied by an online catalogue where all the information here presented is exhaustively listed and regularly updated.

Cave and Karst Science 37(1):3-8. ABS: The cave dwelling spider Porrhomma rosenhaueri (L. Koch) is unique to the British fauna as it is considered to be the only species of troglobiont spider present. This spider has a very limited distribution in the UK and is known only from two cave sites, both of which are in South Wales: Ogof y Ci near Merthyr Tydfil and Lesser Garth Cave near Cardiff. Monitoring populations of cavernicolous species is very difficult to achieve and the aim of this survey was to set up a Common Standards Monitoring (CSM) protocol that would allow meaningful data to be compiled as to the size and viability of the spider population in the Lesser Garth Cave complex. A defined transect of the main passage in the cave was surveyed, carefully searching the accessible parts of the passage for both live spiders and webs in good condition but with no obvious spider present. The first visit was made in September 2009 and 17 live spiders were recorded, removing one to confirm identification. During a follow up survey in December 2009 only 6 live spiders were recorded. Possible reasons for this are discussed in this paper. The overall impression is that, despite living next to an active quarry, the spider Porrhomma rosenhaueri is still well-established in the Lesser Garth Cave. The cave itself has a rich diversity of cave associated species and is thus an important site for speleobiology in the UK. http://www.bcra.org.uk/pub/candks/index.html CASALE (A.), 2010. From Anophthalmus schmidti to molecular phylogenies: past and present in the knowledge of subterranean carabid beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae):152. 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 author presents an updated, tentative synthesis of the available knowledge of the main groups of carabid beetles (Geadephaga, or Caraboidea) represented in subterranean environments in different areas of the world. Caraboidea, with some families of Staphylinoidea, represent the almost totality of the subterranean Coleoptera. As generalized ground and mostly predaceous beetles, they became a successful group in all kind of soil and subterranean environments, and some of them show the most impressive examples of adaptation to hypogean life. In particular, three taxonomic groups will be stressed: 1. Scaritinae of the subtribe Reicheiina, with emphasis on the main questions concerning their global distributions, and their possible "adaptive radiation" in Sardinia; 2. Trechinae of the tribe Trechini, stressing the opportunity of a new taxonomic treatment of "phyletic lineages" supported by bio-molecular data; 3. Pterostichinae of the subtribes Molopina and Sphodrina, with emphasis on the Euro- Mediterranean genera, highly interesting from the biogeographic point of view. Some questions concerning other groups of subterranean carabids (Paussinae Ozaenini, Promecognathinae, Dryptinae Zuphiini) will be also recalled and debated.

Can chemical cues act as landmarks in the orientation of the cave fish Phreatichthys andruzzii? Canadian Journal of Zoology 88(9, September 1):884-888. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1139/Z10-058. ABS: In the constant darkness of cave environments fish locomotion has to be directed by nonvisual spatial information. Four series of tests were done to determine the ability of the hypogean cyprinid Phreatichthys andruzzii Vinciguerra, 1924 to memorize a synthetic chemical cue (morpholine, C4H9NO), to associate it with an area, to utilize such information for direct locomotory activity, and to determine how long that association is retained in fish memory. Although morpholine acts as neutral stimulus for P. andruzzii, after acclimation in morpholine-scented areas devoid of food resources specimens showed a clear tendency to avoid waters characterized by the odour of that chemical. We hypothesize that an association between odours and trophic characteristics of an area allows the fish to optimize their exploratory activity, as it allows them to recognize areas already experienced to be devoid of trophic resources and to avoid these as unprofitable places. The above association seems to be memorized for a short time; the behavioural response vanishing between 6 and 18 h after the end of the acclimation period. After a certain time has elapsed, it could be profitable to visit the same areas again to verify the incidental availability of new food sources. RÉS: Dans l'obscurité permanente des milieux troglodytes, la locomotion des poissons doit être dirigée par de l'information spatiale non visuelle. Quatre séries de tests nous ont servi à déterminer la capacité du cyprinidé hypogée Phreatichthys andruzzii Vinciguerra, 1924 à mémoriser un signal chimique synthétique (morpholine, C4H9NO), à l'associer à un site et à utiliser cette information pour diriger son activité locomotrice; nous avons aussi mesuré la durée de l'association dans la mémoire du poisson. Bien que la morpholine agisse comme stimulus neutre chez P. andruzzii, les individus acclimatés dans des zones marquées d'odeur de morpholine, mais sans ressources alimentaires, ont une nette tendance à éviter les eaux porteuses de l'odeur de ce produit. Nous émettons l'hypothèse selon laquelle une association entre les odeurs et les caractéristiques trophiques d'une zone permet aux poissons d'optimiser leur activité exploratrice, puisqu'elle leur sert à reconnaître les régions déjà connues par expérience pour être privées de ressources trophiques et à les éviter comme sites sans bénéfices. L'association décrite ci-haut semble être mémorisée pour une période courte, car la réponse comportementale disparaît entre 6 et 18 h après la fin de la période d'acclimatation. Sans doute, après un certain temps, il pourrait être bénéfique d'explorer à nouveau les mêmes zones pour vérifier la disponibilité fortuite de nouvelles sources de nourriture. C. G., 2010.

ABS: A phylogeny of Milyeringidae is reported and a new species, Milyeringa brooksi, is described from Cape Range National Park in the North West Cape (Cape Range Peninsula) of Australia. This species is distinguished on the basis of morphological and molecular characters from its only congener Milyeringa veritas. These diagnostic characters are related to a unique pattern of sensory papillae on the body and synapomorphies in three genes (cytochrome c oxidase I, cytochrome b, and NADH dehydrogenase 2). The new species is known Bernard LEBRETON & Jean-Pierre BESSON Créé le : 01.01.2010 Modifié le : 30.06.2010 only from the southern portion of the North West Cape spanning roughly 50 kilometers of subterranean habitat.

Chemical Geology 276(3/4, September):209-224. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.chemgeo.2010.06.007. ABS: We present oxygen isotope, micro-textural, and molecular evidence of microbial activity in the formation of hydroxylapatite (HAP) in three limestone caves (Gosu, Sungryu, and Ssang caves) in South Korea. HAP typically forms as crusts (0.1 to 0.5 mm thick) coating carbonates of speleothems and host rock surfaces, on and near bat habitats. Microtextures within HAP crusts indicate that a metastable apatite precursor (AP) is initially precipitated on and near the surfaces of sulfur-bearing microbial filaments and then transforms to HAP. Analysis of DNA extracted from the HAP crusts confirms that sulfur oxidizing bacteria are present in some of the HAP samples. The δ 18 O values of phosphate (δ 18 OP) in HAP precipitated in the caves range from 14.6 to 15.6‰ and are close to isotopic equilibrium with the weighted mean annual δ 18 O value of rain water (= cave water) at the mean annual air temperature (= measured cave temperature). The difference in oxygen isotopic composition between speleothem carbonate (δ 18 OC) and phosphate (δ 18 OP) in adjacent apatitic crusts is similar to that of co-existing carbonate and phosphate in modern biogenic apatite. These results suggest that phosphate, likely derived from bat excretions, was metabolized by microorganisms and has undergone extensive oxygen isotope exchange with cave drip water by intense biological turnover of phosphate, and then precipitated as HAP in near-equilibrium with water and carbonate in the cave ecosystem. Results from these studies of δ 18 OP values of HAP crusts in limestone caves demonstrate the utility of δ 18 OP as an environmental temperature proxy and signature of microbiological processes.

Les mollusques récents de la Réserve Naturelle Géologique de Saucats-La Brède (Gironde, France) [The Recent molluscs from the "Réserve Naturelle Géologique de Saucats-La Brède" (Gironde, France)]. Bulletin de la Société linnéenne de Bordeaux 145, nouvelle série, 38(4):437-448. RÉS: Nous avons réalisé un premier inventaire de la malacofaune terrestre et dulçaquicole présente sur l'emprise de la Réserve Naturelle Géologique de Saucats-La Brède (Gironde). Un ensemble de 50 espèces, dont 6 aquatiques, a pu être observé dans les différents sites classés. Nous mentionnons également 5 espèces complémentaires observées sur la commune de Saucats à proximité immédiate de l'espace de la Réserve. Parmi les espèces rencontrées au cours de cet inventaire, trois font l'objet de discussions: Balea heydeni Von Maltzan, 1881 notée pour la première fois en Aquitaine, Semilimax pyrenaicus (Férussac, 1821) nouvellement rencontrée en Gironde, et Bythinella sp., morphologiquement bien distincte de Bythinella ferussina (Des Moulins, 1827), unique espèce de bythinelle citée récemment en Gironde, suggérant une plus grande diversité du genre pour le département. MC: Mollusques continentaux récents, inventaire, Aquitaine, Gironde, Saucats, Balea heydeni, Bythinella sp., Semilimax pyrenaicus. ABS: We have drawn up the first inventory of the land and freshwater malacofauna of the Réserve Naturelle Géologique de Saucats-La Brède. A total of 50 species, 6 of which are aquatic, were observed in the various sites. To this list, we saw 5 more species observed in Saucats, very close to the Reserve area. Among the species encountered during this inventory, three of them are discussed: Balea heydeni Von Maltzan, 1881 noted for the first time in Aquitaine, Semilimax pyrenaicus (Férussac, 1821) newly encountered in Gironde and Bythinella sp., morphologically distinct from Bythinella ferussina (Des Moulins, 1827), the only species of this genus recently recorded in the Gironde, suggesting a wider local diversity for the genus.
