(Aranea) of Canada and Alaska. Zootaxa 2461(May 14):1-
170, 1 pl., 977 réf. ABS: This checklist records the occurrence of
1413 species of spiders (Araneae) in 43 families in Canada and Alaska.
Distributions of species are given by state, territory and province. Each
species name is presented in its original combination, followed by
primary synonyms, if any. The list is dominated by members of the
family Linyphiidae (39.5% of total species). Highest numbers of species
are recorded for Ontario (746), British Columbia (700) and Québec (677).
We record 69 species that are thought to be introduced from elsewhere
and 321 that are known in the Palaearctic. KW: Canada, Alaska, spiders,

http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ecss.2009.11.004. ABS: Thermal
anomalies up to 4°C above the climatological mean caused dramatic mass
mortalities in benthic ecosystems of the NW Mediterranean during the
summer heat waves of 1999 and 2003. Information on the sessile
communities of the submarine cave of Bergeggi (Ligurian Sea) was taken
in 1986 and 2004, i. e. before and after the two thermal events, using
wire-frame photography in four sectors of the cave ecosystem with
different morphologies and environmental features. Percent cover data of
growth forms (as descriptors of the structural aspects of cave ecosystem)
and feeding guilds (functional aspects) were analysed by multivariate and
univariate techniques. Differences in trophic organisation and total biotic
cover in the four sectors were significant and consistent in the two years.
Thus, food web constraints (such as water confinement and trophic
depletion), that are mostly dependent on topography, underwent no major
change following the thermal events. On the contrary, structural aspects
changed across time, 3-dimensional growth forms being replaced by 2dimensional
ones, leading to a general homogenisation of the cave
communities. Positive thermal anomalies are thought to have selectively
killed erect and massive organisms, their replacement by encrusting
organisms possibly representing a phase in cave recolonisation.
Submarine caves are poorly resilient ecosystems, and understanding their
capacity of recovery after major disturbances is mandatory for their
management and conservation. KW: Submarine caves, mass mortality,
growth forms, feeding guilds, recovery, Ligurian Sea.

fauna is successfully implemented. In Sebeş Mountains, at 16 km far
from the patriarchal little town Haþeg, there is Cioclovina Uscată cave,
well-known after the discovering of a brain pan of one of the oldest
modern man (Homo sapiens) from Europe, dated at 29000 years old. A
few people know that, besides this incontestable palaeoanthropologic
value, the cave has also a major importance, that of a proper natural roost
for some bat colonies (Chiroptera), which, unfortunately were seriously
disturbed along time, because of the industrial exploitation of guano. This
cave, which had a lot to offer to bats and man (and still has!), has an
interesting history, as it results from the Chapter II, signed by D. Murariu,
Al. Petculescu and C. Petrea. Because the cave accumulated one of the
largest ardealite deposits (80000 tons), as a result of the catabolism of
some huge chiropteran colonies, and which it is a very good fertilizer,
special exploitation works have been done: forest road, railway, an 8 km
funicular, and especially a tunnel of 142 m, drilled under the natural
entrance level. Between 1912-1918 and then between 1924-1941, guano
was put in bags and transported by train. The tunnel became the most
injurious element to the environment, which became changeable,
resembling enough with the exterior one, leading to its destruction, both
for the bat colonies and nurseries, and for the cave invertebrates, bound to
the trophic source of guano. As it is written in the pivot chapter of the
book (both due to the page number and, especially, due to the rich
documented information of the entire research and activity of ecological
reconstruction), signed by V. Gheorghiu, D. Murariu, D. Borda, A. Farcaş
and O. Chachula, the humidity loss and the cave vandalizing cave by the
tourists and improvised speleologists, who picnicked in the Bivouac Hall,
ceased in 2004 and 2005, when the tunnel was blocked by a concrete
diaphragm wall and a metallic door, and the natural entrance was blocked
by an iron railing, with transversal bars , through which the bats could
pass easily. Interdisciplinary studies were developed by projects financed
by the Romanian Academy, by the international project "Cave Bear
Project, Romania, 2004", speleological association "Proteus" from
Hunedoara and "Focul Viu" ("Living Fire") from Bucharest and
implemented by "Emil Racoviţă" Institute of Speleology of Bucharest.
The results of five year studies successfully materialized by the creation
and implementation of the first project of an ecological reconstruction of
an underground habitat for chiropterans from our country. From 2004,
since the anthropic tunnel was blocked, to 2008 when the programme
finished, the number of bat increased 100 times, from about 10
individuals reaching 800 individuals of the genera Myotis, Rhinolophus
and Miniopterus. The 8 chapters, edited in English, with substantial
abstracts in Romanian, are interesting, even exciting, for the biologists,
speleologists, anthropologists, nature protectors, or for those who have
this noble hobby, the amateur speleologists. The book includes tens of
maps, photos, tables, sketches, generously presented in a A4 format,
proper to a scientific book. The photo represents the installations,
equipments and snapshots made during the specialist working and
original images of chiropterans in their natural environment. The article
which presents the modern perspective of the brain pan of Homo sapiens,
not hybridized with H. neanderhtalienisis, as those from the western
Europe are, offer convincing information that here, in the Southern
Carpathians, the species Homo sapiens sapiens strongly developed, and
spread westwards. The articles on the biometry and fossilization
conditions of the thanatogenosis from Cioclovina Uscatã cave, of the
species Ursus spelaeus, basing on almost 4000 bones, on the rock
magnetism, mineralogical structure and the reconstruction of the
Palaeoclimatic profile, completed with the prersentastion of the
management plan of the "Grădiştea Muncelului - Cioclovina" Natural
Park (plan which clearly presents what must not happen, for preserving
the biotope mosaic where the entomofauna eaten by bats develops) show
that, in fact, we are in front of an academic monograph paper, of a site, of
a history and of a social phenomenon. The book which we recommend to
the researchers and readers with noble and elevated hobbies show the
evolution of the protection idea in Romania, and we hope it will be
auspicious by its scientific and factual example.
