Optical and TEM cytological, and biochemical methods were applied.
The fat body was studied at the beginning (November), in the middle
(January) and at the end of overwintering in younger and older nymphs,
and adults. Overwintering in warmer microhabitats, T. cavicola was
expected to use lipids and glycogen more extensively than T. neglectus.
In all individuals of both species, the fat body was composed of about 40
oval ribbons and consisted of two principal cell types: adipocytes and
urocytes. Adipocytes are characterized by a large quantity of storage lipid
droplets, glycogen rosettes and protein granula, and urocytes by glycogen
rosettes and urate granula. Both undergo gradual structural changes. T.
cavicola use glycogen continuously, but stop using lipids after the middle
of overwintering, while the use of these substances is inverse in T.
neglectus. http://www.icsb2010.net/

Santo caves (Vanuatu):43, poster presentation. In: 20 th

2010 Abstract Book, edited by: Ajda MOŠKRIČ and Peter
TRONTELJ, ISBN 978-961-269-286-5. ABS: The caves of
Santo island in Vanuatu were biologically surveyed in September 2006
by the karst team of the expedition "Santo 2006". Focus was placed on
guano habitats, which were present and rich in Arthropod species in most
of the surveyed caves. Both free and standardized samplings were
performed in 26 different guano caves, and at several guano sites in some
caves. The diversity of arthropods guano communities was characterized
by three features: 1) a low alpha-diversity; 2) inside each community
hyperdominance of one or a few species; 3) unexpectedly high variation
in species composition among sites. Guanobionts represented a much
richer community than troglobionts in the studied area, with several
species strictly limited to caves. http://www.icsb2010.net/

(Araneae: Filistatidae) from Brazil, with notes on its
ecology. Zootaxa 2604(September 7):61-68, 6 pl., 5 réf.
ABS: Pikelinia arenicola sp. n. is described from a "restinga" ecosystem
near Lagoa dos Patos, Rio Grande do Sul. It is the first member of the
genus recorded from Brasil. Males of P. arenicola sp. n. resemble those
of P. tambilloi but differ in having a larger palpal tibia, a differently
shaped bulbus apex and a projection on the ventral face of the tarsus.
Females can be distinguished from congeners by the shape of the
epigastric flap. Ecological notes on the new species are provided. KW:

Wentsaiboea tiandengensis Yan Liu & B. Pan and Wentsaiboea
luochengensis Yan Liu & W.-B. Xu from Karst caves in Guangxi, China
are described and illustrated. Wentsaiboea tiandengensis resembles W.
renifolia, but differs in the leaf blade being cordate or broadly ovate, the
margin crenate or repand, with conspicuous pinnate veins 3-5 on each
side, corolla throat constricted, corolla lobes ovate with apex acute,
staminodes 3, and ovary broadly ovoid. Wentsaiboea luochengensis is
similar to W. renifolia, but can be distinguished from the latter by the
coriaceous leaf blade with 2-3 inconspicuous pinnate veins on each side,
elliptic or broadly ovate to sub-rotund in shape, with sub-entire margin
and attenuate to cuneate or sub-rotund base, broadly ovate or sub-rotund
corolla lobes, rotund or obtuse apex, and 3 staminodes.

LOPES FERREIRA (R.), 2010. Translocation of cave fauna
in Brazilian iron ore cave:164-165. 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: An experimental translocation of part of
the invertebrate community from an iron ore cave to an artificial cavity
was carried out in Brazil. The artificial gallery was exclusively built to
receive individuals from the original cave. Such experiment was carried
out since the original cave will be severely modified by archaeological
research. The artificial cave was constructed trying to simulate the
original conditions of the cave. Even the small channels in the rock that
conform the cave were built through an external perforate machine. Plant
species typically found in ferruginous outcrops were planted in hollows
that were connecting the external environment with the gallery chamber.
Inside these orifices, the root growth was stimulated with a supply of
micronutrients and root hormones solution. Such procedure aimed to
establish the trophic base in the artificial cave, which was, in the original
cave, composed especially of roots of plants of the external vegetation.
These roots were consumed by many invertebrate species in the original
cave. A total of 57 invertebrate species have been translocated. Of these,
18 were considered to have high potential for the establishment of
permanent populations in the gallery, 24 were considered as of low
viability (even so, they could colonise), and for15 the potential could not
be established since only one individual was translocated. After 5 years,
23 species have colonised the artificial gallery. Different species have
shown distinct dynamics since their occupation of the new habitat. Those
differences are probably related to their different life histories.

reaction diagnosis of white-nose syndrome in bats. Journal
of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation 22:224-230. ABS: A
newly developed polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based method to
rapidly and specifically detect Geomyces destructans on the wings of
infected bats from small quantities (1-2 mg) of tissue is described in the
current study (methods for culturing and isolating G. destructans from bat
skin are also described). The lower limits of detection for PCR were 5 fg
of purified fungal DNA or 100 conidia per 2 mg of wing tissue. By using
histology as the standard, the PCR had a diagnostic specificity of 100%
and a diagnostic sensitivity of 96%, whereas the diagnostic sensitivity of
culture techniques was only 54%. The accuracy and fast turnaround time
of PCR provides field biologists with valuable information on infection
status more rapidly than traditional methods, and the small amount of
tissue required for the test would allow diagnosis of white-nose syndrome
in live animals. KW: Bats, Geomyces destructans, polymerase chain
