Biodiversity of Cave-Obligate Animals on the Domain of the University of the South, Franklin County, Tennessee. A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of the South in partial fulfillment of the requirements for honors in the Department of Biology, May 5 th , 2010. ABS: The southern Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee and Alabama has the greatest diversity of cave obligate animals in the United States. The 13000 acre campus (referred to as the "Domain") of Sewanee: The University of the South is located on the southern Cumberland Plateau in Franklin County, Tennessee. There are more than 70 caves on the Domain, which, combined, have more than 15 km of horizontal passageway. We examined the biodiversity of cave animals on the Domain at the species level and at the genetic level. Through a survey of the seven largest horizontal caves on the Domain, we identified 21 cave-obligate species, including two new county records. This accounts for nearly half of the species reported for Franklin County. For our genetic analysis, we selected five diverse taxa (a millipede, a beetle, a fly, an aquatic isopod, and a spider) that were collected from multiple caves, and compared their mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I gene sequences. Across the five taxa we found: (1) low genetic diversity within caves (mean nucleotide diversity within caves across all taxa: 0.25%), (2) high genetic divergence between caves (divergence between caves within taxa ranged from 2.5%-10.9%, with two exceptions), and (3) little evidence for gene flow between caves (FST between caves within taxa >0.57, with one exception). Thus, the Domain supports tremendous species diversity, and an even more remarkable level of genetic diversity within those species across caves on a very small scale (no caves used in the genetic comparisons were >3 km apart). Our observation of high genetic divergence between caves on a small scale highlights the importance of cave conservation on a regional scale. DIXON (J. W.), 2010. Mammalia, Chiroptera, Vespertilionidae: Filling hibernacula distribution gaps for cave roosting bats from Iowa (U. S. A.). Check List 6(4):511-514. ABS: Adequate roost sites for hibernacula are an important factor in the distribution and abundance of temperate bat species and knowledge of specific hibernacula is necessary to make sound management decisions. Caves are recognized as one of the most important roosting sites for bats, yet surveys in caves are uncommon in North America. This paper presents data on the distribution and abundance of bats hibernating in Iowa (U. S. A.) caves and includes new hibernacula records. These are the first published records of bats in Iowa caves in almost 25 years. http://www.checklist.org.br/archive?vol=6&num=4 DOCAMPO (S.) & TRIGO (M. M.), 2010.

Bulletin mensuel de la Société linnéenne de Lyon, hors-série n° 2:? RÉS: Souvent hors de portée et invisible, la vie dans les eaux souterraines est restée très longtemps secrète ou anecdotique. La faune stygobie, caractérisée par une vie exclusive dans les eaux souterraines, est cependant bien développée. En région Rhône-Alpes elle est représentée par plus de 130 espèces appartenant en majorité au groupe des Mollusques et surtout des Crustacés. Environ 78% de la connaissance régionale actuelle est postérieure à 1960 et des recherches récentes montrent que la biodiversité régionale est largement sous estimée. Les connaissances en termes d'occurrence et d'abondance des espèces restent très partielles en raison d'une sous exploration de certains types d'aquifères (poreux et fissurés) et de certaines aires géographiques. La faune stygobie n'a été prise en compte dans les inventaires d'espèces patrimoniales ou à protéger que de manière très marginale, bien que de nombreuses formes soient rares, endémiques, ou vulnérables. ABS: Often out of reach and invisible, the life in subterranean waters remained for a long time secret or anecdotal. The stygobic fauna characterized by an exclusive life in subterranean waters is however well developed. Rhone-Alpes has around 130 species, mostly molluscs and crustaceans. Approximately 78% of the current regional knowledge is post-1960 and recent researches show that the regional biodiversity is widely under-estimated. The knowledge in terms of occurrence and abundance of the species remain very partial because of an under exploration of certain types of aquifers (porous and fissured) and of many geographical areas. The stygobic fauna was only taken into account in the inventories of patrimonial species to protect it in a very marginal way, although numerous forms are rare, endemic, or vulnerable. http://www.linneenne-lyon.org/rubrique.php3?id_rubrique=41 DOMÍNGUEZ (M.), SANZ (A.), CHÁVEZ (J.) & ALMAGUER (N.), 2010. Cyclical Reproduction in Females of the Cuban Lizard Anolis lucius (Polychrotidae). Herpetologica 66(4, December):443-450. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1655/09-058.1. ABS: We describe the gonadal and fat-body cycles and their relationship to environmental factors for Cuban female Anolis lucius (Polychrotidae). We obtained monthly samples of lizards from the karstic caves at Boca de Jaruco, Havana, Cuba. The lizards reached sexual maturity at 45.0 mm snoutvent length and at approximately 7 mo of age. Female A. lucius showed seasonal reproduction from March to August. The nonreproductive season occurred from September to February, as identified by the absence of active ovogenesis. Vitellogenic ovaries, and almost all females having one or two oviductal eggs, characterized the peak reproductive interval from May to August. In contrast, fat-body mass diminished from May to July and reached its highest values from September to January. The clutch size is one egg per oviposition, and oviposition events occurred from July to September. Increased photoperiod and environmental temperature induced ovarian activity. RES: Los ciclos gonadal y de los cuerpos grasos, y su relación con factores ambientales son descritos para las hembras del lagarto cubano Anolis lucius (Polychrotidae). Mensualmente algunos lagartos fueron capturados en las cuevas cársicas de Boca de Jaruco, La Habana, Cuba. La madurez sexual fue alcanzada con 45 mm de longitud hocico-cloaca y aproximadamente a los 7 meses. El ciclo reproductivo es estacional y la reproducción ocurrió desde marzo a agosto. La estación no reproductiva identificada por ausencia de actividad gonadal, ocurrió desde septiembre a febrero. La máxima actividad reproductiva fue observada desde mayo a julio, todas las hembras presentaron ovarios vitelogénicos y en su mayoría uno o dos huevos oviducales. En contraste, los cuerpos grasos disminuyeron desde mayo a julio y alcanzaron sus máximos valores desde septiembre a enero. Las puestas son de un huevo por cada vez desde el mes de julio a septiembre. Incrementos del fotoperíodo y de la temperatura ambiental indujeron la actividad ovárica.

A new phylogenetic framework to decipher evolutionary processes involved in groundwater:164.

ABS: The hidden and unexpectedly high diversity of living forms in groundwater is only beginning to emerge, following more than a
© Biospeologica Bibliographia Publications 2010-1 Page 25 sur 116 century and a half of collection and identification of stygobionts (i. e. obligate groundwater species). Botosaneanu (1986) reported over 7000 obligate groundwater species worldwide, a number which is now an underestimate because new species are continuously being described and many await description. Although species inventories are far from being complete, biodiversity patterns emerged because of continued efforts in cataloging and mapping diversity at global, continental and regional scales. On the other hand process involved in groundwater colonization, adaptation and diversification have remained elusive to study. This is the direct consequence of two key factors. First, pattern-based approaches always suffer from the difficulty to link patterns to processes. Indeed, no single mechanism needs to explain a given pattern. Second, sampling constraints, organism rarity and fragility, and morphological convergence that plague taxonomic assignment are only few of the difficulties that groundwater biologists have to face. Thus, it comes as no surprise that subterranean biogeography has essentially developed on assumptions that still require more formal testing. As a first step toward process investigation we have developed within the framework of the DEEP research program a large phylogeny of the Aselloidea super-family with a special emphasis on one of the most diverse stygobiont genera: the genus Proasellus. Our phylogenetic inferences is based on three genes (two mitochondrial plus a nuclear one), includes 173 populations for about 90 species and subspecies. Taxonomic affinities between and within taxa as well as subsequent investigations are discussed. http://www.icsb2010.net/ DOUANGBOUBPHA (B.), BUMRUNGSRI (S.), SOISOOK (P.), MURRAY (S.

ABS: Based on recent field surveys in Thailand, Myanmar, and northern peninsular Malaysia, this paper reviews the taxonomy, morphometric and acoustic characters, distribution and ecology of the little known, globally endangered species Hipposideros halophyllus. It lists nine new localities records, including the first from northern and peninsular Thailand, which represent a substantial increase in the species' known range; it confirms the record from northern peninsular Malaysia. In addition, it provides further information on two other small species of the Hipposideros bicolor group, H. ater and H. cineraceus.

DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3161/150811010X537990. ABS: Following extensive field work in Thailand (2006-2008), this paper reviews the taxonomic status of the three species of the Hipposideros bicolor group. Based on morphometric characters and acoustic data, the two phonic types, H. bicolor (131 kHz) and H. bicolor (142 kHz) are treated as distinct species. Hipposideros bicolor (131 kHz) is designated as H. bicolor; H. bicolor (142 kHz) is provisionally designated as H. atrox. The morphometric characters, acoustic data, and geographical distribution of H. pomona are also reviewed. The diagnostic characters of these frequently confused taxa are discussed, with a detailed study of the external, cranio-dental, and bacular morphology, and acoustic features. New data on the conservation status, distribution and ecology of these three species are included. KW: Hipposideros bicolor group, H. atrox, H. pomona, taxonomy, distribution, Thailand.

ABS: Mehely's horseshoe bat Rhinolophus mehelyi is a vulnerable species with an increasingly fragmented distribution. The species is rare and poorly known but appears to be declining across its entire range. In Romania R. mehelyi is critically threatened and prone to extinction. The remnant population forms maternity and hibernation colonies in a single location (Limanu Cave) situated in southern Dobrogea. Following dramatic declines in the past fifty years, the current population size is estimated at only 100 adult individuals. In the present study we examined the consequences of population decline and limited dispersal on population genetic structure and variation. We compared patterns of genetic diversity of the Romanian population with that of two Bulgarian populations, using mitochondrial D-loop DNA sequences. The alignment of 40 R. mehelyi sequences resulted in 10 distinct haplotypes with a total number of 9 polymorphic sites, of wich 5 were parsimony informative characters. The most abundant haplotype (RHm3) was the only lineage found in all sampled colonies. A single haplotype was found in the Romanian population compared to 10 in Bulgaria, suggesting genetic isolation. This study confirms for the first time the low genetic diversity of this species in Romania, a serious threat to the survival of this species in this part of its geographical range. DRAVEC (L.), KOSTELIĆ (B.) & MANDIĆ (A.), 2010. Protection of speleological objects in the region of Istria through the European Union projects:80-81. 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: In order to protect sources of potable water, prevent their pollution, and reduce the harmful anthropogenic impact on karst relief in general, the Region of Istria began planning on a project which would with the financial assistance of EU funds assure better and safer management of the speleological facilities and environment in general. Most of the territory of Istria is situated on limestone rocks. Most of speleological objects represent the direct connection between surface and underground water flows so their protection presents logical and very important activity for the entire community. The project "Underground Istria" is one of the most successful projects financed by the European Union which had its main objective in improvement of the speleological facilities status and their protection. Within the project 9 speleological objects were cleaned and sanitized, the database of speleological objects was created, together with numerous workshops and lectures for the local population and high school students in order to introduce the community especially young people with the importance of caves and pits as karst phenomena in the Istria. Considering that sustainability of karst is possible only by conduction of continuous scientific research and monitoring of their status Region of Istria applied a new "karst Underground Protection" project on the cross-border cooperation call Slovenia-Croatia 2007-2013 as logical continuation of previously mentioned "Underground Istria". Numerous new activities are planned within the two years of duration of KUP project and one of them are subterranean biology researches and the education of speleologists about the possible more scientific approach to the caving. Project will assure better cooperation and common operating of Croatian and Slovenian regional and state institutions involved in environment protection together with recognition of areas of natural landscape and the geographical particularities of the karst relief in Istrian peninsula. Many other activities with an objective of preventing further pollution of karstic aquifer are also proposed and should be implemented during KUP project. Complete inventory and proposed way of managing the speleological objects within the project area should assure their sustainability and reconstruction of an old abandoned school building in the village of Vodice in municipality of Lanišće and its conversion into so called "Speleo house" should provide the further development of the caving in Istria. http://www.icsb2010.net/ DRESCHER (N.), LOOS (J.), LEVANONY (T.), DAYAN (T.), SCHULDT (A.), SCHÄFER (K.) & ASSMANN (T.), 2010.
