ABS: Eye degeneration is a general evolutionary tendency shown in many animal groups that are adapted to dark environments. Thus far, the degenerative process has only been discussed within a few taxonomic units, in terms of both evolution and development, and more studies are needed to deal adequately with this area of ostracod biology. The ostracods and copepods examined in the present study are small crustaceans that are widely diversified in the aquatic environment, and also in interstitial environments, and their "nauplius eyes" (primitive eye in Crustacea; typically composed of three or four ocelli) show various degrees of degeneration. The ultrastructure and ontogeny of their degenerated nauplius eyes are described for the first time in the present study, using transmission electron microscopy. According to our observations, two morphotypes for degenerative nauplius eyes (i. e. "tapetal-less form" and "pigment reduced form") are found in both taxa. The first description of the embryogenesis of normal (none-degenerated) nauplius eyes of surface species is also provided. From a comparison between the embryogenesis of normal nauplius eyes and the postembryogenic development of the "tapetal-less form", it is strongly suggested that the "tapetal-less form" is derived by paedomorphic evolution. On the basis of our observations, as well as on previous studies, we propose the hypothesis that modularity, in the form of hierarchical interactions, exists in the nauplius eye (i. e. the tapetal cells constitute an independent developmental module to be distinguished from other developmental or functional modules, including both the pigmented cells and the sensory cells). According to our hypothesis on the nauplius eyes, we also discuss the possibility that the degenerative process is constrained within the general developmental and functional context.

Genetic analysis on three South Indian sympatric hipposiderid bats (Chiroptera, Hipposideridae) [Análisis genético de tres murciélagos hiposidéridos (Chiroptera, Hipposideridae) simpátricos del sur de la India]. Animal Biodiversity and Conservation 33(2):187- 194. ABS: In mitochondrial DNA, variations in the sequence of 16S rRNA region were analyzed to infer the genetic relationship and population history of three sympatric hipposiderid bats, Hipposideros speoris, H. fulvus and H. ater. Based on the DNA sequence data, we observed relatively lower haplotype and higher nucleotide diversity in H. speoris than in the other two species. The pairwise comparisons of the genetic divergence inferred a genetic relationship between the three hipposiderid bats. We used haplotype sequences to construct a phylogenetic tree. Maximum parsimony and Bayesian inference analysis generated a tree with similar topology. H. fulvus and H. ater formed one cluster and H. speoris formed another cluster. Analysis of the demographic history of populations using Jajima's D test revealed past changes in populations. Comparison of the observed distribution of pairwise differences in the nucleotides with expected sudden expansion model accepts for H. fulvus and H. ater but not for H. speoris populations.

RES: Se analizaron las variaciones en las secuencias de la región del ARNr 16S del ADN mitocondrial, con el fin de deducir la relación genética y la historia de la población de tres murciélagos hiposidéridos simpátricos: Hipposideros speoris, H. fulvus e H. ater. Basándonos en los datos de las secuencias del ADN, observamos una diversidad de nucleótidos mayor y una diversidad haplotípica relativamente menor en H. speoris que en las otras dos especies. Las comparaciones por pares de la divergencia genética dio como resultado una relación genética entre los tres murciélagos hiposidéridos. Utilizamos las secuencias haplotípicas para construir un árbol filogenético. Los análisis de inferencia bayesiana y de máxima parsimonia dieron lugar a un árbol con una topología similar. H. fulvus e H. ater formaban un conglomerado, y H. speoris formaba otro conglomerado. El análisis de la historia demográfica de las poblaciones, utilizando el test D de Jajima, puso de manifiesto cambios de población sucedidos en el pasado. La comparación de la distribución observada de las diferencias de nucleótidos por pares con el modelo previsto de expansión súbita se acepta para las poblaciones de H. fulvus e H. ater, pero no así para las de H. speoris.

Do two cryptic pipistrelle bat species differ in their autumn and winter Bernard LEBRETON & Jean-Pierre BESSON Créé le : 01.01.2010 Modifié le : 30.06.2010 roosting strategies within the range of sympatry? Folia Zoologica 59(2):102-107. ABS: Large hibernating aggregations and behaviour called late summer or autumn "invasions" when large groups of bats enter buildings are known in pipistrelles. We investigated differences in roosting behaviour between two cryptic species (common pipistrelle, Pipistrellus pipistrellus, and soprano pipistrelle, Pipistrellus pygmaeus) during autumn and winter periods. In total 463 bats were sampled in both caves and buildings with temporary occurrence during the period of late summer and autumn mating and presumable migrations from late July to September (10 sites), and in all known types of hibernacula from late November to March (34 sites). Sampling sites were located within the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Serbia and Romania in areas where the two species occur sympatrically throughout the summer. Using a DNA-based identification method, all but four individuals were identifi ed as P. pipistrellus. It means that winter roosts of P. pygmaeus remain largely unknown in the area. Similarly, no P. pygmaeus was found in the "invasion" assemblages. Very abundant groups of P. pipistrellus in underground hibernacula and its exclusive occurrence in sites of "invasions" suggest that roosting behaviour during this time may be species-specific.

New longlegged cave-dwelling representatives of the Balkan genus Cyphophthalmus (Opiliones, Cyphophthalmi, Sironidae) and the question of functional significance of troglobite appendage elongation:119. 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: During recent biospeleological research of the Velebit Mountains (Croatia), performed by members of Croatian biospeleological Society (CBSS), new taxa of the genus Cyphophthalmus (Opiliones, Sironidae) have been found. New taxa inhabit all regions of Velebit Mountains regularly in ca. 100 m deep cave habitat. New Cyphophthalmus taxa are characterized by very elongated appendages compared with some closely related troglobitic species from the same genus and troglobitic sironids generally. There are some endogean representatives of the same genus with elongated appendages too. This fact opens a question about functional significance of appendage elongation in troglobites, as a rule. Is it an adaptation or not? Specimens of new Cyphophthalmus from North and Middle Velebit show some morphoanatomical differences compared with specimens from South Velebit. But molecular analyses show no differences between the two taxa considered to be two different subspecies. Due to the fact that all collected specimens are females and that their receptacula seminis are not well sclerotized, we assume that the taxa are parthenogenetic. http://www.icsb2010.net/ KARANOVIC (T.), 2010. First record of the harpacticoid genus Nitocrellopsis (Copepoda, Ameiridae) in Australia, with descriptions of three new species. Annales de Limnologie - International Journal of Limnology 46(4):249-280. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1051/limn/2010021. ABS: Three new freshwater ameirid species were discovered in the Western Australian subterranean habitats and described in this paper. They all proved to belong to the genus Nitocrellopsis Galassi, De Laurentiis & Dole-Olivier, 1999, representing the first record of this genus in Australia. Nitocrellopsis operculata sp. nov. was collected in 2003 in the Pilbara region, during the Pilbara Regional Survey, led by the Western Australian Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC). It can be distinguished from all other congeners by the reduced armature of the antennal exopod, which is an autapomorphic feature. Also, no other species of Nitocrellopsis has cuticular windows on prosomal or urosomal somites, or six elements on the third exopodal segment of the second leg. Nitocrellopsis halsei sp. nov. and N. pinderi sp. nov. are sister-species, collected in 2007 in the neighbouring Yilgarn region, by the private environmental consulting company Bennelongia Pty Ltd. Numerous morphological similarities include somite ornamentation, armature patterns of the swimming legs and the fifth leg, as well as the shape and armature of the antennula, antenna and almost all mouth appendages, while the main differences between the two are observed in the body size and habitus appearance, caudal rami shape and size, presence/absence of large lateral pores on the fourth pedigerous somite, number of spinules on
© Biospeologica Bibliographia Publications 2010-1 Page 53 sur 116 the anal operculum, number of setae on the madibular endopod, and shape of the exopod of the fifth leg. Although they differ from any other congener by a combination of characters, no significant autapomorphic features were observed. In order to find a more natural allocation of these three species, a cladistic analysis is performed on all current members of Nitocrellopsis and three outgroup taxa, based on 45 morphological characters. The resulting cladogram shows that the ingroup is well defined by at least four synapomorphies, but the Australian species from the two regions are only remotely related to each other, showing the importance of looking at small-scale patterns when inferring Gondwanan biogeography. Three sister-species pairs are recognized in the genus and a key to all 12 members is provided.

ABS: Male and female of Odaginiceps korykosensis sp. n. (Copepoda, Harpacticoida, Tetragonicipitidae), collected in the intertidal zone of Kızkalesi beach along the Mediterranean coast of Turkey (Mersin Province), are described. The new species is the fifth member of the genus and can easily be distinguished from the other species by the presence of four setae/spines on the second endopodal segment of P4 and by the structure of the caudal rami. Previously, representatives of the genus Odaginiceps have been reported from Gulf of Mexico, off Bermuda and Kenya. O. korykosensis sp. n. is the first record of the genus in the Mediterranean Sea.

ABS: Allometry, the association between size and shape, has long been considered an evolutionary constraint because of its ability to channel variation in particular directions in response to evolution of size. Several recent studies, however, have demonstrated that allometries themselves can evolve. Therefore, constraints based on these allometries are not constant over long evolutionary time scales. The changes in ontogeny appear to have a clear adaptive basis, which establishes a feedback loop from adaptive change of ontogeny through the altered developmental constraints to the potential for further evolutionary change. Altogether, therefore, this new evidence underscores the tight interactions between developmental and ecological factors in the evolution of morphological traits. KŁYS (G.), & WOŁOSZYN (B. W.), 2010. Ecological aspects of bat hibernacula in temperate climate zone of Central Europe. Travaux du Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle "Grigore Antipa" 53(Décembre):489-497. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.2478/v10191-010-0034-3. ABS: In temperate climate zone, undergrounds (caves) are the main place for bat hibernation. It is possible to distinguish three kinds of usage of caves by bats: caves used as a hibernaculum, where bats spend the winter period, caves used as shelters for reproductive colonies during the summer period, and caves used as temporary shelters during transitional period (spring and fall) and also as places for food. Caves used as hibernaculum must offer a suitable microclimate for bats. Several important physical factors decide on the selection by bats of a refugee for a period of hibernation. The hibernaculum should have a zone of total darkness. During hibernation bats pay special attention to air circulation, humidity and temperature. These factors are also of significance in forming the microclimate condition inside cave system. Throughout the influence above mentioned factors, a connection between microclimatic condition and topoclimate appears in the cave system and, as a consequence, a refugioclimate forms. RÉS: Dans la zone de climat tempéré, les refuges souterrains sont le principal lieu d'hibernation des chauves-souris. On distingue trois modes d'utilisation des grottes par les chauves-souris: les grottes utilisées en tant que lieu d'hibernation, dans lequel les chauvessouris restent pendant l'hiver; les grottes utilisées comme gîtes pour les colonies de reproduction au cours de l'été et les grottes utilisées comme gîtes temporaires au cours des périodes de transition (au printemps et en automne) comme endroits propices pour y trouver leur nourriture. Les grottes qui constituent des refuges pour l'hibernation doivent offrir un microclimat optimum. Quelques facteurs physiques importants contribuent à la sélection d'un refuge pour la période d'hibernation. L'endroit d'hibernation est totalement obscur. Les chauves-souris sont particulièrement attentives pendant l'hibernation à la circulation de l'air, à l'humidité et à la température. Ces facteurs sont très importants pour la formation des conditions microclimatiques et topoclimatiques qui apparaissent dans le réseau de galeries.
