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: Caves are environments that might favor the development of microorganisms due to their environmental characteristics. However, cave microbiology is still poorly studied in Brazil. The biodiversity of subterranean microbiota is still unknown, as well as the biotechnological importance of such organisms. Understanding the importance of preserving cave microbiota, as well as its potential use, may function as an important tool for cave conservation. Tannase (tanino acil) hidrolase EC 3. 1. 1.20 is an extracellular inducible enzyme of great biotechnological interest. It hydrolyses ester and depside bonds present in gallotannins, complex tannins and gallic acid esters. It is mainly used in beverage, tea, fruit juice and food processing. This enzyme is also of environmental importance since it acts as a hydrolyzing agent in cleaning up the highly polluting tannin from the effluent of leather industry. Micorganisms are important source of tannase, such as species from the Aspergillus and Penicillium genus. The objective of this study was to search for isolates of biotechnological interest (tannase producers) present in caves located in the Brazilian biome named Caatinga (Brazilian xeric shrubland). With this information it is possible to provide new tools that might be used for conservational purposes. The enzymatic production (tannase) by filametous fungi was tested in specific media. The tannase producers were identified up to the species level. They were isolated in specific media, incubated for seven days and then identified according to their macroscopic and microscopic morphological characteristics. From all the isolates tested, nine tannase producing species were identified: six Aspergillus species (A. tubingensis, A. pumiceus, A. japonicus, A. tamarii, A. foetidus and Aspergillus sp.) and three Penicillium species (P. oxalicum, P. corylophilum and P. sclerotiorum). Only few of these species have already been reported as Tannase producers. This result provides important information pointing caves as environments holding species of biotechnological potential. The identification of these species highlights the need of more studies concerning cave microbiota and the importance of preserving these environments. http://www.icsb2010.net/ NITZU (E.), NAE (A.), GIURGINCA (A.) & POPA (I.), 2010. Invertebrate communities from the mesovoid shallow substratum of the Carpatho-Euxinic area. Travaux de l'Institut de Spéologie "Émile Racovitza" 49:41-79. ABS: Between 1998 and 2008, the authors analyzed from a faunistic and zoogeographic point of view, 5 sites with different types of mesovoid shallow subtratum (MSS) from the karst areas of Dobrogea and the Carpathians. These sites are: the cleitric MSS from the Movile area (South Dobrogea) - from the karst of Dobrogea and the nude and covered colluvial MSS from the Vârghişului Gorges (600-660 m.), the colluvial and cleitric MSS from the Motru Basin (370-407 m.), the nude (Marele Grohotiş - 1650 m., Cerdacul Stanciului 1571 m.) and covered colluvial (Valea Seacă - 1000m.) MSS from Piatra Craiului - from the karst areas of the Carpathians. On the whole, the authors have identified 265 invertebrate species frequently found in the various MSS types (19 species of Isopoda, 13 species of Diplopoda, 71 species of Collembola, 38 of Araneae and 124 species of Coleoptera), all presented in a comparative way. Among them, 25 species are endemic for the Carpatho- Euxinic space. The specific diversity, the degree of endemicity, the preferential and characteristic species are highlighted. The role of the MSS from the analyzed sites in the edaphic - subterranean transfer at a faunal level and in the conservation of the local populations is discussed. KW: M. S.

ABS: Krivošije area (Orjen Mt.) belongs to the Dinarides karstic massif and represents one of the most important diversity hot spots of troglobiotic arthropod fauna. Despite the fact that Krivošije area is very well biospeleologically investigated, some very important new records of the troglobitic beetles, including new species and genera, have been noticed in recent years. The overview of all troglobiotic beetles of the mentioned area is given. http://www.icsb2010.net/ NOËL (P.), SÉRET (B.) & DORÉ (A.), 2010.

Freshwater Biology 55(6, June):1288-1302. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1365- 2427.2009.02352.x. SUM: 1. The hyporheic zone plays a key role in hydrological exchange and biogeochemical processes in streambed sediments. The clogging of sediments caused by the deposition of particles in the bed of streams and rivers can decrease sediment permeability and hence greatly affect hyporheic microbial processes. 2. The main objective of this study was to determine the influence of sediment clogging on hyporheic microbial processes in three French rivers (the Usses, Drôme and Isère). In each river, microbial abundance and activity were studied at three depths (10, 30 and 50 cm) in the sediment at one unclogged (high porosity) and one clogged site (low porosity). 3. The results showed that the sediment clogging had inconsistent effects on microbial processes in the three rivers. Increases (Usses) or decreases (Drôme and Isère) in both aerobic and anaerobic processes were detected at the clogged sites compared to unclogged sites. These results suggest that microbial changes because of the sediment clogging are mainly mediated by the residence time of water within the hyporheic sediments. 4. A single model predicting the effect of clogging on hyporheic microbial processes cannot be applied generally to all rivers because the degree of clogging creates heterogeneous effects on flow rates between surface and interstitial waters. As a consequence, the influence of heterogeneous clogging on surface water-hyporheic exchanges needs to be evaluated by water tracing and hydraulic modelling to determine the links between microbial processes and hydraulic heterogeneity induced by clogging in hyporheic sediments.

ABS: Since
© Biospeologica Bibliographia Publications 2010-1 Page 75 sur 116 1977, sixty-two (62) caves and artificial tunnels, mostly in central and northern Slovenia, have been systematically investigated for their environmental characteristics and terrestrial faunas. Among more than 450 species found, two species groups outstand for their disagreement with the general statement that, in accordance with their adaptation to the hypogean environments, organisms progressively exhibit troglomorphoses from shallow towards deep habitats. The first such group is represented by a dozen of troglomorphic species which are rare in caves, thus these are not their preferable habitats. The second one consists of a few troglophilic species with a moderate troglomorphic appearance, which found stable and relatively abundant populations also in some places deep inside caves. Both groups are assumed to enter caves either from stone and gravel accumulations, like the superficial subterranean habitats (SSH) or from the epikarst. In this contribution we present the way of detecting the two origins of such species with respect to their distributional pattern within caves. For this purpose we used the following three groups of data collected in the field and in the laboratory. 1) The distances from the entrance and from the surface, respectively, indicating the general distribution pattern within the upper few tens of meter within the subterranean domain. 2) The presence of populations deep inside some larger caves providing evidence of the ability of a species to live in these habitats and/or, in case of inhabiting various cave sections, its relatively euryecious response within the range of various hypogean habitats. 3) A moderate cold-hardiness to temperatures below - 3°C serving as a measure of estimating either a temporary contact of a species with freezing habitats or its incomplete adaptation to deep, meteorologically stable hypogean habitats with temperatures constantly above 0°C. We first analyze the general types of distribution of 18 dominant species within the investigated caves addressing to the interpretation of their preferred habitats. We comment on the presence of troglomorphic and some other species in the caves. http://www.icsb2010.net/ NOVAK (T.), THIRION (C.) & JANŽEKOVIČ (F.), 2010. Hypogean ecophase of three hymenopteran species in Central European caves. Italian Journal of Zoology 77(4, December):469-475. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/11250000903451809. ABS: Three hymenopteran species - the ichneumonids Amblyteles armatorius and Diphyus quadripunctorius, and the proctotrupid Exallonyx longicornis - are most frequently cited from all over Europe as executing their inactive hypogean ecophase in caves. Yet, little is known about their environmental requirements during their summer quiescence and/or winter diapause; only limited data are known from Western and Eastern Europe. In this investigation, the sojourn of hymenopterans in hypogean environments is ecologically evaluated on the basis of data obtained from 63 systematically investigated caves and artificial tunnels in central and northern Slovenia, as being representative of the Central European countries. Nine environmental parameters measured at the resting sites of individuals were subjected to Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The species differ significantly from each other on ecological parameters: the euryecious A. armatorius occupies a narrow central position with respect to environmental requirements in caves; the montane D. quadripunctorius exhibits the best, and the lowland E. longicornis the feeblest adaptation to hypogean environments. In contrast to Western and Eastern Europe, in the central countries, the three hymenopteran species prefer dormancy habitats other than caves. These regional differences deserve more attention in future investigations of European hypogean fauna.

Acta Oecologica 36(6, November/December):522-529. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.actao.2010.07.005. ABS: Hypogean habitats are relatively simple exhibiting low diversity, low production and relative constancy of environmental factors, and are therefore appropriate for studying species coexistence in situ. We investigated the coexistence of two closely related, similarly sized orbweaving spider species, Meta menardi and Metellina merianae, living syntopically in a Slovenian cave. We studied the annual dynamics of both species within a mixed population, and the impact of the ambient temperature, relative humidity, airflow and illumination, and compared Bernard LEBRETON & Jean-Pierre BESSON Créé le : 01.01.2010 Modifié le : 30.06.2010 their trophic niches to legacy data on prey of both species from 55 caves in Slovenia. We predicted a large overlap in their spatial niches and substantial differences in their temporal and trophic niches. We found that their spatial niches overlap greatly with few exceptions, mostly on the dates of notable meteorological changes in the cave but that their temporal niches differ significantly with r-strategy resembling epigean annual dynamic in M. merianae and a steady low abundance course in M. menardi within the cave. We also found that different predatory strategies significantly segregate their trophic niches: M. merianae uses a typical orb-weaving hunting strategy, while M. menardi combines web hunting with off-web hunting. Our findings suggest that both the diverse dynamics and trophic niches enable the coexistence of M. menardi and M. merianae despite their similar spatial niches, and that M. menardi, in particular, is optimally adapted to the epigean/hypogean ecotone.

Cave microscopic fungi as food source for caves inhabiting springtails and some microfungal records:103-104. 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: Records of saprotrophic microfungi are reported from a number of Czech, Slovak, Romanian and Spanish caves. Of them, several species represent coprophilous fungi occurring on various types of animal excreta such as bat guano and bat droppings, marten or dormouse excrements or isopod and diplopod faeces (Penicillium glandicola, P. vulpinum, Chrysosporium speluncarum, Chaetomium brefeldii, and Phycomyces nitens). Additional coprophilous species, Coemansia aciculifera, was isolated from cave sediments. Botryosporium longibrachiatum was isolated from the frog carcass in the Domica Cave system (Slovakia). Rarely reported microfungal species Dimargaris bacillispora was found repeatedly in collembolan rearings on the cave sediment from the Domica Cave system and the Punkva Caves (Czech Republic), but also on dead isopod Mesoniscus graniger in laboratory rearing and from C. aciculifera growth after one month exposition of agar disc with C. aciculifera colony on the cave sediment in the Domica Cave. Sixteen microfungal species isolated from cave sediment of the Domica Cave (Paecillium lilacinum, Clonostachys rosea f. rosea, Cladosporium herbarum, Mucor dimorphosporus, Absidia glauca, Coemansia aciculifera, Talaromyces flavus, Myxotrichum deflexum, Mortierella sp., Isaria farinosa, Doratomyces stemonitis, Oidiodendron cerealis, Fusarium solani, Trichosporon cf. pullulans, and T. dulcitum) were used in food preference test with four collembolans, Folsomia candida, Heteromurus nitidus, Hypogastrura aequepilosa and Orthonychiurus rectopapillatus. The test was carried out in 20 cm Petri dishes covered with damp layer of Plaster of Paris. The food was offered in form of agar discs cut from 7 days old microfungal colonies, each disc having been put into a separate sector. Twenty individuals of each collembolan species were then placed into the central part of Petri dish. The presence of springtails on the food and their grazing activity were recorded daily for a period of 10 days. At the beginning of the experiment, some fungi (e. g. T. dulcitum, T. cf. pullulans and C. aciculifera) were significantly preferred, while several species were ignored completely (D. stemonitis, T. flavus, and C. rosea f. rosea by O. rectopapillatus; T. polysporum and C. herbarum by F. candida; and Mortierella sp. by H. nitidus). D. stemonitis, O. cerealis and I. farinosa were preferred by some springtails only in advanced stages of the experiment. Nevertheless, there were strong differences in food preferences among individual collembolan species. http://www.icsb2010.net/ NOVÁKOVÁ (A.), BRAD (T.), MOLDOVAN (O. T.) & HILLEBRAND (A.), 2010.
