Morphological and Molecular Characterizations of Psychrophilic Fungus Geomyces destructans from New York Bats with White Nose Syndrome (WNS). PLoS ONE 5(5, May):e10783, 12 p. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0010783. ABS: Background: Massive die-offs of little brown bats (Myotis lucifugus) have been occurring since 2006 in hibernation sites around Albany, New York, and this problem has spread to other States in the Northeastern United States. White cottony fungal growth is seen on the snouts of affected animals, a prominent sign of White Nose Syndrome (WNS). A previous report described the involvement of the fungus Geomyces destructans in WNS, but an identical fungus was recently isolated in France from a bat that was evidently healthy. The fungus has been recovered sparsely despite plentiful availability of afflicted animals. Methodology/Principal Findings: We have investigated 100 bat and environmental samples from eight affected sites in 2008. Our findings provide strong evidence for an etiologic role of G. destructans in bat WNS. (i) Direct smears from bat snouts, Periodic Acid Schiff-stained tissue sections from infected tissues, and scanning electron micrographs of bat tissues all showed fungal structures similar to those of G. destructans. (ii) G. destructans DNA was directly amplified from infected bat tissues, (iii) Isolations of G. destructans in cultures from infected bat tissues showed 100% DNA match with the fungus present in positive tissue samples. (iv) RAPD patterns for all G. destructans cultures isolated from two sites were indistinguishable. (v) The fungal isolates showed psychrophilic growth. (vi) We identified in vitro proteolytic activities suggestive of known fungal pathogenic traits in G. destructans. Conclusions/Significance: Further studies are needed to understand whether G. destructans WNS is a symptom or a trigger for bat mass mortality. The availability of wellcharacterized G. destructans strains should promote an understanding of bat-fungus relationships, and should aid in the screening of biological and chemical control agents. CHERTOPRUD (E. S.), GHEERARDYN (H.) & GÓMEZ (S.), 2010. Harpacticoida (Crustacea: Copepoda) of the South China Sea: faunistic and biogeographical analysis. Hydrobiologia, Online First, 21 March 2010. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10750-010-0228-5. ABS: Based on original and on published databases, a compendium of the Harpacticoida of the South China Sea is presented, and the distributional range of species is discussed. Up to now, a total of 77 harpacticoid species belonging to 57 genera and 19 families have been recorded in this region. Twenty of these species, collected in Nha-Trang Bay (Vietnam), have not hitherto been described. The most speciose families are the Miraciidae (20 species) and the Laophontidae (9 species). Thirteen families were represented by one to three species only and six families by four to seven species. A brief comparison is presented between the harpacticoid fauna of the South China Sea, the Philippine Islands, the inner Malayan Archipelago (Java, Flores, Banda, and Celebes Seas), New Guinea, the Yellow Sea, and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The overall similarity between the species lists of these areas was observed to be extremely low (average value of Simpson index is 0.15 ± 0.08). The lists of planktonic species from the different areas showed the highest similarity. The lowest similarity (highest endemism) was observed between the lists of interstitial species. It is likely that one of the factors determining the differences between the faunas is the poor knowledge about the composition and distribution of benthic harpacticoids in tropical latitudes.

Новые данные о зимовках рукокрылых в искусственных подземных сооружениях Ленинградской области -заброшенных военных укреплениях и гидротехнических подземных ходах. Были обнаружены места спячки трех видов: Plecotus auritus, Myotis daubentonii, Eptesicus Bernard LEBRETON & Jean-Pierre BESSON Créé le : 01.01.2010 Modifié le : 30.06.2010 nilssonii. В большинстве случаев в таких убежищах зимует незначительное число зверьков. Только в одном случае было обнаружено около 20 рукокрылых, в том числе и M. daubentonii; последний вид в подобных укрытиях в пределах нашей области ранее не отмечался. Ключевые слова: рукокрылые, зимовка, Ленинградская область. SUM: At the last years (2003-2009), some cellars situated in Leningrad region were examined. We inwestigated about 40 undergrounds, but only in 6 of them bats winterigs was obtained. In small cellars only several specimiens of (Epntsicus nilssonii) were found. In underground tunnel (Taitskiy vododvod) we obtained only Plecotus auritus (about 10 specimiens). Only in one place (fort "Nikolaevskij") we record a more then 20 animals, belong to for three bats species (P. auritus, Myotis daubentonii, E. nilssonii).

Важнейшим условием существования летучих мышей на севере является наличие зимних убежищ, пригодных для их зимней спячки. На Северо-Западе России наиболее известными из подобных убежищ должны считаться рукотворные подземелья старые подземные выработки полезных ископаемых. В пределах рассматриваемого региона большинство их было описано и изучено к середине XX в. [4, 5]. В ходе дальнейшего изучения рукокрылых Северо-Запада России нами обнаружены и обследованы новые, неизвестные в литературе зимовки летучих мышей в подземных убежищах. Результаты этих исследований изложены ниже. CHISTYAKOV (D. V.) & BOGDARINA (S. V.), 2010. New data on hibernation sites of bats (Vespertilionidae) in the north-west of Russia:115.

ABS: During 2000-2008, some new caves and artificial undergrounds in the Leningrad Region and the Republic of Karelia were surveyed for bats. In all these shelters hibernation of bats was revealed. We found seven bat species there (Plecotus auritus, Myotis nattereri, M. daubentonii, M. brandtii, M. dasycneme, Eptesicus nilssonii, Vespertilio murinus). All records are of particular interest in respect of the fact, that the hibernacula lie near the northern margins of the distribution ranges of these species. Among the most important records range the findings of wintering individuals of Vespertilio murinus, a species formerly unknown to hibernate in the region. We obtained also a new record of Myotis brandtii, although numbers of this species decreased in the last years in the region. CHISTYAKOV (D. V.) & NICKULIN (A. D.), 2010. [The influence of anthropogenic pressure on the bats at winter habitats]. ? SUM: The most of artificial caves in Leningrad region are used by bats as habitats for hibernation. Earlier, caves in Sablino were one of the biggest winter shelters. By the research in 1996-1997 there were 514 bats, belonging to 6 species, investigated. Also this caves appeared to be the place of unique winter community of a "red-book" specie - Myotis nattereri (IUCN "3 VU"). Although, the situation had been badly changing in the following years. The community of bats happened to be modified, because of the organization of excursion service in one cave and frequent visits of cluttered tourist groups in another. In 1990-2000 there were only 22 bats found. Apart from this, the reconstruction of the cave for the needs of commercial activity demolished the rickety micro-climatic conditions of the underground shelter. The unique community of Natterer's bats (Myotis nattereri) was practically ruined. Another winter habitats of bats meanwhile are better condition (caves in Staraya Ladoga), because of their lesser notoriety. The concerning increasing of the number of bats was marked there is some previous years. But they are extraordinary vulnerable and must be adopted the status of the unique geological object with the great zoological value. CHO (J.-L.) & HUMPHREYS (W. F.), 2010.

DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00222930903537066. ABS: Ten new species of Brevisomabathynella Cho, Park & Ranga Reddy, 2006 are described and illustrated from the arid region of Western Australia. Comparison of the external morphology revealed the presence of three common characters distributed among the 10 species: the five-segmented antenna, the absence of the basipodal seta on the male thoracopod VIII and the absence of a basiventral seta on the uropodal exopod. This character combination is not found in Notobathynella and Billibathynella, but only in Brevisomabathynella, a genus known from two described species both with unusual characters. Despite the three common attributes, the 10 new species differ remarkably from these two described species, but could not be defined by their own synapomorphy. Consequently, and cognizant of a previously performed molecular analysis, we assign the 10 new species to Brevisomabathynella and amend the generic diagnosis. The species inhabit shallow aquifers in groundwater calcretes and each appears to be endemic to a given calcrete formation. The two species previously known and the 10 species now described include four sympatric species pairs, with similar-sized sympatric species differing markedly in body form. Brevisomabathynella inhabit groundwater up to at least marine salinity. KW: Brevisomabathynella, Parabathynellidae, new species, Yilgarn, Western Australia, Australia. CHRISTIAN (E.), 2010.

Occasional Papers, Museum of Texas Tech University, 297(September 30):26 p. ABS: A new species of troglobitic Parobisium pseudoscorpion is described from two caves developed in granite talus slopes in the Yosemite Valley, U. S. A. The 16 species of the genus are all from the northern hemisphere (western U. S. A., China, Japan, South Korea). A taxonomic key to the genus in the U. S. A. is provided. The new species has only an anterior pair of pale colored eyespots without tapetum and is blind. Extensive searching at other shallow nearby caves and on the surface has not revealed any other specimens of this species, although it is common within certain areas of the two known caves. This may be only the second troglobite described from granite talus caves in North America, and suggests the potential for fruitful exploration in regions not traditionally sampled for subterranean fauna.

Invertebrate Systematics 24(2):131-138. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1071/IS09047. ABS: The New Zealand Rhaphidophoridae Walker, 1869 comprise 18 endemic genera (including 8 that are monotypic). Although there are many new species to be described, rationalisation at the genus level is also required due to inconsistencies in their current systematics. Even the largest and best known taxa, including those that occupy cave systems and are the most frequently encountered by people, require taxonomic revision. These cave weta include species assigned to three poorly differentiated genera, Pachyrhamma Brunner v. Wattenwyl, 1888, Gymnoplectron Hutton, 1897 and Turbottoplectron Salmon, 1948, that are best known from North Island New Zealand. We used mitochondrial DNA sequence data to examine their relationships using representatives of each genus. The results indicate that a single genus Pachyrhamma would be appropriate for all, as Gymnoplectron and Turbottoplectron nest phylogenetically within it. There are insufficient morphological, spatial or ecological reasons to justify retention of all three. However, we also note that species level diversity does not correlate with genetic or spatial diversity; some species are genetically well partitioned and widespread while others have narrow ranges in single cave systems and are closely related to one another.

In: 9 th International Congress of Neuroethology, Salamanca (Spain), 2-7 August 2010. Sponsored by the International Society for Neuroethology (neuroethology.org). Abstracts. ABS: Blind cavefish (Astyanax mexicanus) are unable to scan their surroundings from a single vantage point by visual or other long-range sensory systems to determine the spatial configuration of their distant surroundings. Rather, they must rely on short-range senses and swim within sensory range of each landmark feature. Thus, any knowledge of the spatial relationship between two or more features must be obtained from sequential encounters. In order to sense nearby features without touching them, fish use active-flow sensing to detect the spatiotemporal perturbations caused by nearby stationary objects in their own self-generated flow fields. Given that flow signal generation and reception is coupled to the coast phase of their burst-coast swimming gait, sensory updates about their position in space with respect to their surroundings are intermittent and constrained by locomotor demands. As a consequence, spatial exploration and navigation pose special challenges for blind cavefish. Comparative studies on the swimming trajectories and fine-scale swimming kinematics of blind cavefish and their nearest sighted relative, a morph of the same species, reveal interesting similarities and differences in the sensorimotor strategies used by these two morphs when exploring novel environments. Comparisons suggest that both morphs share common strategies for regulating the temporal characteristics of burst-coast swimming kinematics, but that blind morphs differ significantly from sighted morphs in their swimming trajectories and in lateral line-enabled abilities to link swim cycles into sequences that form straight trajectories. These differences can best be understood in terms of the intermittent and shortrange challenges of active flow-sensing by blind cavefish and suggest that these fish have evolved behavioral strategies for coping with these challenges.
