Ovigerous females were recorded year-round at the main spring and in
the upper course, but were more numerous during spring (March, April,
May) and autumn (October) months. The sex-ratio (males vs. females)
was in favour of males almost throughout the all study year. Mean
number of eggs was 30 for 100 analysed females, but one female carried
a maximum of 111 eggs. There was no correlation between fecundity and
female body size (total body length). A better insight into the life history
strategy of N. dalmatinus will help to interpret the distribution patterns,
population structures, and the coexistence with other crustacean species.

FORNÓS (J. J.), 2010. El sistema de cavitats Gleda -
Camp des Pou (Manacor, Mallorca). Endins 34:35-68. RES:
La connexió entre la cova de sa Gleda i l'avenc des Camp de Pou ha
permés afegir un nou sistema al llevant de Mallorca, el sistema Gleda-
Camp des Pou, de 13500 m de recorregut, que situa aquesta cavitat litoral
com la de major recorregut subaquàtic d’Europa dins d'aquesta situació i
espeleogènesi. Es comenten les principals fites de l'exploració del sistema
i els aspectes tècnics per poder realitzar les tasques exploratòries a la
cavitat. Es fa la descripció tant dels nous sectors descoberts com de les
contribucions novedoses dels sectors ja coneguts. L'estudi de l'estructura
de la cavitat, amb la superposició de la topografia a la superfície del
terreny, les sales d'esfondrament i els condicionants litològics ajuden a
comprendre millor la gènesi i evolució de la cavitat. Un aspecte a
destacar és el contrast entre els sectors més occidentals, profusament
decorats per espeleotemes, amb els sectors orientals a on són gairebé
absents. Se citen un total de 12 espècies de crustacis a les aigües
subterrànies de la cavitat, capturades especialment a les proximitats de la
boca, ja que bona part del sistema presenta densitats poblacionals molt
baixes per tractar-se d'un hàbitat molt oligotròfic. ABS: The connection
established between Cova de sa Gleda and Avenc des Camp des Pou has
allowed to add a new extensive cave system to the great speleological
potential of eastern Mallorca coastal karst area: with a development of
13500 m, this system is the longest underwater littoral cave known up to
now in Europe. The main benchmarks in its exploration are exposed, as
well as the technical aspects of the diving tasks developed in the cave.
The description of the recently discovered extensions is presented in this
paper together with new observations on the previously known sectors of
the system. The study of the cave pattern -using the superimposition of
the survey on the map of the area- and the disposition of collapse
chambers linked to clear lithological conditionings, contribute to a better
understanding of its genesis and evolution. An aspect that must be
highlighted is the sharp contrast existing between the western sectors,
very well-decorated with speleothems, and the eastern ones where the
speleothems are almost practically absent. A total of 12 crustacean
species have been cited in the cave waters, collected especially near the
cave entrance because the population densities are very low due to the
oligotrophic character of this habitat.

interaction among groundwater, surface water and
ecosystems: A key issue for integrated water management.
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ecoleng.2010.01.010.
ABS: Environmental policy and in particular the European water
legislation, in the framework of the EU Groundwater Directive, has
started to consider groundwater not only as a resource but as a living
ecosystem. A precondition for comprehensive groundwater protection is
thus the assessment of the biological and ecological state. The assessment
of ecosystems requires consideration of ecological criteria, which so far
are not available for groundwater systems. In the framework of a national
project, the German Federal Environment Agency (UBA) supports a
consortium of scientists and stakeholders from water boards and regional
environmental authorities to develop a first concept for an ecological
assessment scheme for groundwater ecosystems. The attempts towards an
integrative concept include the following steps: (i) selection of
appropriate biological and ecological parameters, (ii) typology of
groundwater ecosystems, (iii) derivation of a reference status (Leitbild)
and natural background values for biological variables, (iv) identification
of potential bioindicators and definition of threshold values, and (v)
development of an assessment model. These proposed steps are discussed
on the basis of a data set from two groundwater landscapes in Southern
Germany. Investigations considered three different spatial units, i. e. the
habitat unit at the local scale, and the aquifer type unit as well as the
landscape unit at the regional scale. Fauna as well as bacterial
communities could provide valuable ecological information on the
ecosystems status. The paper reviews "state of the art" knowledge and
evaluates the near future perspectives for the development and
implementation of groundwater ecosystems assessment programmes.

2010. Observations on the use of membrane filtration and
liquid impingement to collect airborne microorganisms in
various atmospheric environments. Aerobiologia ? DOI:
http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10453-010-9173-z. ABS: The
influence of sample-collection-time on the recovery of culturable airborne
microorganisms using a low-flow-rate membrane-filtration unit and a
high-flow-rate liquid impinger were investigated. Differences in
recoveries were investigated in four different atmospheric environments,
one mid-oceanic at an altitude of ~10.0 m, one on a mountain top at an
altitude of ~3,000.0 m, one at ~1.0 m altitude in Tallahassee, Florida, and
one at ~1.0 m above ground in a subterranean-cave. Regarding use of
membrane filtration, a common trend was observed: the shorter the
collection period, the higher the recovery of culturable bacteria and fungi.
These data also demonstrated that lower culturable counts were common
in the more remote mid-oceanic and mountain-top atmospheric
environments with bacteria, fungi, and total numbers averaging (by
sample time or method categories)
