© Biospeologica Bibliographia Publications 2010-1 Page 68 sur 116 périodiquement, d'une étude de la qualité de l'eau et d'un échantillonnage de la faune. Les stations retenues ont été choisies en raison de la diversité de leur faune mais aussi et surtout parce qu'elles présentaient entre elles certaines différences évidentes (profondeur de la nappe, nature du substratum, protection des puits et utilisation de l'eau par la population locale), qui pouvaient laisser espérer une certaine diversité. Les principales composantes physico-chimiques de la qualité de l'eau ont donc été mesurées puis une analyse en composantes principales (ACP) a été réalisée à partir des valeurs moyennes de chaque paramètre; on a pu révéler ainsi l'existence d'une variation spatiale relativement marquée de ces descripteurs, faisant apparaître quatre groupes de stations très inégaux et bien différenciés: un premier groupe de 11 puits situés à l'aval hydraulique de la zone d'étude, où l'eau présente des teneurs élevées en ions azotés et phosphorés indicateurs de pollution; à l'opposé un autre groupe de 5 puits, situés plus en amont, où l'eau présente au contraire de faibles concentrations de substances azotées et d'ions phosphorés, donc des stations peu ou pas polluées; enfin deux autres groupes bien séparés, chacun correspondant à une source, dont l'eau est aussi de qualité relativement bonne. La faune aquatique de ces puits et sources a également été échantillonnée de façon périodique. La richesse faunistique globale des stations apparaît faiblement corrélée avec la qualité de l'eau, mais en revanche la richesse spécifique de la faune stygobie (celle qui vit dans la nappe phréatique) et plus encore l'abondance de ces espèces stygobies, diminuent de façon significative avec la pollution. La faune stygobie dans son ensemble, et particulièrement le groupe des Crustacés péracarides, apparaît ainsi comme un très bon indicateur de la qualité de l'eau de ces puits et des sources. MC: Biodiversité, puits, faune stygobie, espèces indicatrices, qualité des eaux souterraines. ABS: A recent study, performed in the region of Oum-El-Bouaghi, North-Eastern Algeria, aimed at showing the possible relationships between the water quality of wells and springs and the diversity of the aquatic fauna which occurs in these habitats. To this end, the water quality and the fauna were regularly investigated in several stations (16 wells and 2 springs) selected in the region. The stations were chosen considering visible differences related to both their fauna and also some evident characteristics i. e. water table depth, nature of geological substratum, protection and human use, so that it was possible to expect certain diversity. The main physicochemical characteristics of water were measured and a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was performed with the mean values of each variable. The PCA indicated an appreciable spatial variation of water quality related to the values of some hydrological variables and clearly showed four groups of stations: a first group of 11 wells located in the downstream part of the study area, where water exhibited a high level of nitrogenous and phosphoric ions revealing water pollution. In contrast, another group of 5 wells located more upstream and where the water, containing only very low concentrations of nitrogenous and phosphoric ions, is of good quality. Finally two other groups are well separated and include only one spring each, where water is also of good quality. Likewise, the fauna of each station was regularly sampled. The total faunal richness of stations was poorly correlated with water quality but, in contrast, the specific richness of the stygobiontic fauna (the subterranean species living in groundwater), and moreover the abundance of these stygobiontic species decreased significantly in case of water pollution. Thus the stygobiontic fauna and especially the peracarid crustaceans appear to be good indicators of water quality in the studied wells and springs.

MESCHEDE (A.), HAMMER (M.), ZAHN (A.) & RUDOLPH (B.-U.), 2010. 25 years of bat monitoring in Bavaria, Germany: Population trends and future tasks:229- 230. In: 15 th International Bat Research Conference, Prague, 22-27 August 2010, the conference manual: Programme, abstracts, list of participants, edited by: Ivan HORÁČEK and Petr BENDA, ISBN 978-80-87154-46-5, 380 p. ABS: Bats of Bavaria (Germany) have been intensively investigated since 1985 when two centers for bat conservation (Koordinationsstellen für Fledermausschutz) were first installed. After 25 years of research and monitoring, the state-wide database provides for solid material for population trend analyses. Overall the database encompasses more than 103000 records from almost 25000 locations and 24 species. Monitoring data from 204 underground hibernacula (ca. 10% of all known underground sites; controlled at least 8×/24 winters) and from 257 colonies of Myotis myotis were analysed using the modelling programme TRIM (vers. 3.53). Winter censuses of 14 species regularily hibernating underground show an overall strong increase averaging 6% Bernard LEBRETON & Jean-Pierre BESSON Créé le : 01.01.2010 Modifié le : 30.06.2010 per year with the strongest growth in natural caves. Trends for six bat species occurring in bigger numbers are positive: Barbastella barbastellus, Myotis daubentonii, M. myotis, M. mystacinus/brandtii, M. nattereri, Plecotus auritus. The winter population of Pipistrellus pipistrellus/pygmaeus has grown strongly (11%) due to an increase in a few sites. Winter numbers of Rhinolophus ferrumequinum have been rising as have the numbers in the only known nursery colony. Likewise the three colonies of Rhinolophus hipposideros are growing whereas the summer population of Myotis emarginatus stagnates after an increase until 2003. Summer counts of Myotis myotis increased until the early/mid 1990s remaining stable since. However, trends in the biogeographical regions reveal an overall moderate increase in only six of the 14 regions inhabited by Myotis myotis colonies. This might be due to food availability and presence/absence of suitable foraging habitats (predominantly deciduous-rich forests) remaining to be investigated. For the other species trends can neither be specified for summer nor for winter populations due to small sample sizes or lack of monitoring data. An urgent future task is to shed more light on hibernation sites and behaviour of the species occurring in low numbers. MESIBOV (R. E.), 2010.

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: Cave sediments preserve unaltered a broad range of proxies that can be used for past climate change reconstruction. Subfossil remains from cave sediments can give indications on sediments origin, conditions for deposition and paleoenvironment. Samples of suspended sediments from six caves (one unroofed) were taken from Slovenia and Romania. Fragments of aquatic (oligochetes, watermites, copepods, cladocerans) and terrestrial (insects) invertebrates were identified at group level. Paleomagnetic properties of sediments, vertebrate fossils and invertebrate subfossils were used as proxies in an integrated study about cave sediments. The presence of the subfossils is explained in the frame of the paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatic context and is supporting the proposed hypotheses about time and conditions for sediment deposition and paleogeographic evolution. http://www.icsb2010.net/ Ministère de l'Écologie, de l'Énergie, du Développement durable et de la Mer, 2010.

A new anophthalmous species of the genus Paranemastoma Redikorzev, 1936 from Bulgaria (Opiliones: Nemastomatidae):299. In: 18 th International Congress of Arachnology, University of Podlasie & International Society of Arachnology, Siedlce, Poland, 11- 17 July 2010, Book of Abstracts, editor: Marek ŻABKA, ISBN: 978-83-7051-575-1, 507 p. ABS: In this paper a new eyeless representative of Paranemastoma, collected from the Stojkova Dupka 1 cave in the Slavyanka Mountains (SW Bulgaria) is described and illustrated based on a single male specimen and two juveniles. The penis, chelicerae and form of the pedipalp, as well as the absence of Bernard LEBRETON & Jean-Pierre BESSON Créé le : 01.01.2010 Modifié le : 30.06.2010 scutum armament, clearly separates this new species from any other nemastomatid. The closest species morphologically, and the only other eyeless example, is the troglobiont Paranemastoma (Buresiola) bureschi, which is known from numerous caves in the Balkan mountain range (Stara Planina Mts.).

ABS: The movie shows some of the characteristic cave animals from the deep phreatic waters of the Postojna- Planina Cave System. Known to harbor the most diverse subterranean fauna in the world, this place awakes in us both delight and a sense of responsibility as to its conservation. Not only the animals, also we humans depend critically on the quality of the karstic groundwater. The message the movie tries to convey is that the wonderful but fragile subterranean life depends on the same resources as the survival of our own species, and that these resources need to be conserved and protected. All scenes were filmed in natural underwater habitats. A special feature of the movie is a pregnant Proteus female - for the first time observed in the wild and for the first time caught on film. http://www.icsb2010.net/ MOCK (A.), 2010. Terrestrial isopods and millipedes in Slovak caves: results of long-term exploration:137-138. 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: Mountainous area of the Slovak Republic (Slovakia) in Central Europe (Western and partly Eastern Carpathians) is strewed with rather huge Mesozoic karst regions (more than 5000 caves). Terrestrial arthropods in the area were investigated from the second half of the 19 th Century, including isopods and millipedes, but with limited successes for a long time. Up to the end of the 20 th Century, the postulate of absence of local cavernicolous millipedes and terrestrial isopods was generally accepted, with exception of two eutroglophiles, Mesoniscus graniger (Isopoda) and Allorhiscosoma sphinx (Diplopoda). Nevertheless one troglobiotic millipede, Typhloiulus polypodus, was described from the Buekk Mountains in Hungary, as the most southern and rather isolated foreland of the W. Carpathians. Few years before the start of new millennium, other generation of biospeleologists started to investigate local caves (also in non-calcareous bedrock) and to co-operate in field with entomologists, specialized narrowly on beetles before. It has brought fruits, inter alia, 9 other cavernicolous millipedes and two isopods were found. They represent also higher taxa new for the region (e. g. millipede families Trichopolydesmidae, Anthroleucosomatidae and Brachychaeteumidae). One millipede was described as a new species (Mecogonopodium carpathicum). Description of two others from the families Haaseidae and Blaniulidae is in preparation. The taxonomy in some other cases is unclear at the moment. Biogeography and ecology of these arthropods are being studied on the fly. All of them are relicts but with various history and origin (probably from Miocene to Pleistocene) with relations to fauna of Southern Carpathians or SE Alps and Dinarides or Atlantic Europe. The highest biodiversity of cavernicolous species is concentrated to karst areas of plain type in SE karst units of the W. Carpathians (Slovak/Aggtelek Karst, Muranska Plateau), obligate cave dwellers occur exclusively here. It seems their distribution is limited to old fluvial caves with allochthonous watercourses, transported organic material from surface. The bulk of specimens were found at/on wood material. Present state of knowledge of particular species will be discussed. The study was supported by the grant Vega 1/0139/09. http://www.icsb2010.net/ MOESCHLER (P.), ROUÉ (S.) & ZBINDEN (K.), 2010.
