87154-46-5, 380 p. ABS: Miniopterus schreibersii is a complex,
polytypic group with a wide natural distribution ranging from Southern
Europe to Asia, Northern Africa, the Solomon Islands and Northern
Australia. In Turkey, two cave-dwelling subspecies have been
recognized, M. s. schreibersii and M. s. pallidus. Research in the last
decade within Anatolia showed that the populations of M. s. schreibersii
and M. s. pallidus were differentiated from each other in nuclear and
mitochondrial DNA, and morphology. These results suggested that the
subspecies could represent different taxa, possibly species. However, as
their distribution has been found to be primarily allopatric, and
individuals of M. s. schreibersii and M. s. pallidus were never found in
the same cave in sympatry, it has not been possible to elevate taxonomic
levels of these subspecies to species. Here we present discovery of three
caves, on the eastern Mediterranean coast of Turkey, where the two
subspecies have been discovered in sympatry for the first time. These
findings provide the final line of evidence, the smoking gun, for
designation of M. s. schreibersii and M. s. pallidus as two separate
species, M. schreibersii and M. pallidus.

269-286-5. ABS: Particulate organic matter is the major source of
energy for most low-order streams, but a large part of this litter is buried
within bed sediment during floods and thus become poorly available for
benthic food webs. The fate of this buried litter is little studied. We tested
two methods to study litter breakdown: large litter bags (15 x 15 cm)
filled with Alnus glutinosa leaves buried with a shovel at 20 cm deep and
metallic cylinders (1.5 x 8 cm) pushed at 20 cm deep inside the river
sediment using a mobile mini-piezometer. Bags and cylinders were
retired of the sediment after 7, 14, 28, 53 days. We tested these two
methods in six stations within different land-use contexts (from forest to
intensive agriculture) and with different sediment grain sizes. Breakdown
rates were slightly different between the two methods. In the large bags, k
varied between 0.0011 and 0.0188 d-1 (i. e. 32% to 62% of
biodegradation). In the cylinders, k varied from 0.0015 and 0.0049 d-1 (i.
e. 24% to 42%). Breakdown rates measured with large litter bags were
negatively correlated with a decrease in oxygen concentrations between
surface and buried bags and positively correlated with both the
percentage of coarse particles (20-40 mm) in the sediment and benthic
macroinvertebrate richness. Breakdown rates measured in the cylinders
were correlated with the land-use around the station and the
concentrations in nutrient in the river. In conclusion, (i) the cylinder
method integrates large scale ecological characteristics of the river rather
than local feature of the sediments and (ii) the vertical exchanges between
surface and hyporheic water play a crucial role in litter breakdown and
organic matter recycling. http://www.icsb2010.net/

ABS: Two new species of the oligochaete genus Rhyacodriloides
Chekanovskaya, Rhyacodriloides aeternorum sp. n. and Rhyacodriloides
latinus sp. n., are described from subterranean water bodies of Italy and
Slovenia. A comparison with the known species of this genus,
Rhyacodriloides abyssalis Chekanovskaya, 1975 and Rhyacodriloides
gladiiseta Martin & Brinkhurst, 1998, both from Lake Baikal, shows that
the enigmatic "cellular masses" of the latter two species must be
interpreted as different, not homologous structures. As a result, R.
gladiiseta is to be ascribed to the Phallodrilinae, a primarily marine
naidid subfamily, mentioned for the first time in Lake Baikal, and placed
in its own genus, Phallobaikalus gen. n. The two new species are
morphologically very similar, but their penial setae differ slightly. The
phylogenetic relationships of R. latinus sp. n. and R. abyssalis within the
Naididae (formerly the Tubificidae) were investigated using a
combination of three genes, one nuclear (18S rDNA) and two
mitochondrial (12S rDNA and 16S rDNA). A fragment of the
mitochondrial COI gene, used as a barcode, also genetically characterized
all Rhyacodriloides species. Sequences of 34 Naididae were obtained
from EMBL, representative of five naidid subfamilies, and including five
oligochaete outgroups. The data were analysed by parsimony, maximum
likelihood and Bayesian inference. Taken in combination, the three genes
investigated confirm that the two Rhyacodriloides species analysed are
closer to each other than to any other naidid species. However, they are
separated by 16S and COI distances that amount to 18.5% and 27.2%,
respectively, suggesting an ancient separation between species, in good
accordance with their present biogeographic distribution. Rhyacodriloides
cannot be considered as a rhyacodriline, as assumed so far, as they never
appeared related to this subfamily in any analysis considered. In contrast,
they appear at the base of a naidid group, including the Tubificinae, the
Phallodrilinae, the Limnodrilinae, as well as Branchiura sowerbyi, a
species whose phylogenetic association with the rhyacodrilines has been
questioned for a long time. Despite a lack of phylogenetic support, this
position is congruent with a morphological reassessment of the
Rhyacodrilinae, and strongly supports the erection of a new naidid
subfamily to accommodate Rhyacodriloides.

of cyanobacteria at the Gelada Cave (Spain) by physical
parameters. Journal of Cave and Karst Studies 72(1,
April):11-20. DOI:
http://dx.doi.org/10.4311/jcks2009lsc0082. ABS: As part of an
extensive study of the caves in the Province of Alicante (SE Spain), the
distribution of cyanobacteria and physical data for the Gelada Cave are
presented. This cave is 9.4 m deep, 0.9 to 5.0 m high, 1.2 m wide, and is
located in a karst region. Photon flux density, relative humidity, and
temperature were measured, and the environmental ranges of conditions
where growth occurred fluctuated between 0.0008-0.06 µE. -2 s -1 , 55.0-
95.0% and 5.4-18.0°C, respectively. All the microorganisms determined
from the Gelada Cave were cyanobacteria. Other frequently observed
groups in caves, such as Bacillariophyta and Chlorophyta, were not
detected because the cave was too weakly illuminated and dry.
Cyanobacteria were found to be grouped as blue, brown, green, or gray
patina according to the sampling sites and their constituent organisms.
The primary common stress factor on the distribution of algal
communities in the Gelada Cave is light shortage, followed by humidity,
lack of nutrients, and temperature. Twenty-two epilithic cyanobacteria
were identified, ten of which have not been previously reported in caves.
The species studied are included in the Chroococcales order (77.30%),
followed by the Oscillatoriales order (13.60%) and by the Nostocales
