What does palaeontology reveal on the radiation of Leiodidae, Cholevinae and their colonisation of the subterranean biotopes?:158. 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: The chronology of the radiation of zoological groups can be inferred at least by three main methods: paleogeography, molecular genetics linked to a molecular clock hypothesis and palaeontology. For Leiodidae Cholevinae, and especially their subterranean adapted phyla, palaeogeography has been emphasised by Jeannel in several renown, but ancient contributions, and later by Giachino & al. (1993). Molecular genetics have been approached recently for Pyrenean Leptodirini species (Ribera & al., 2010), leading to evidences of monophyly, a reconstruction of the phylogeny, and an estimation of the chronology of radiations since the Eocene. The purpose of our presentation is to give an overview on recent investigations in the newly explored third way: palaeontology. Specimens of Cholevinae from several amber deposits of various ages are presented (Oligocene: Dominican Republic; Eocene: Baltic; Cretaceous: Myanmar...). The morphological investigations are enlightened using propagation phase contrast Xray microtomography which allows a non invasive virtual dissection of specimen and a full comparison of external and internal structures (when preserved) with the extant fauna. The wide range of geological periods scanned, from lower Cretaceous to Oligocene, allows an investigation of the morphological changes compared with the extant fauna. These preliminary results will be confronted to the other approaches, emphasising the special instance of the Pyrenean subterranean fauna, which is so far the best known from other methods. http://www.icsb2010.net/ PERREAU (M.) & FAILLE (A.), 2010. Advances in the knowledge of subterranean Staphylinidae of Morocco: the genus Apteranillus Fairmaire (Staphylinidae, Aleocharinae, Lomechusini):141-142, poster presentation. 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: The genus Apteranillus Fairmaire was introduced for an endogean species collected in the region of Tanger (Morocco): Apteranillus dohrni Fairmaire, 1854. Several species were subsequently described from North Africa, all endogean or cavernicolous, except one myrmecophilous. The genus Antrosemnotes was described by Scheerpeltz in 1935 for the troglobitic species rotroui, later downgraded to a subgenus of Apteranillus, then synonymized with it. Jeannel (1960) separated seven species living in Algeria and Tunisia in the genus Apteranopsis. Later, Apteranopsis increased of six endogean and cavernicolous species from Canary islands which were subsequently transferred to Athethini and Apteranopsis was downgraded to a subgenus of Drusilla. Finally, before the present work, the genus Apteranillus contained eight species, five endogean ones: dohrni Faimaire, 1854; pueli Peyerimhoff, 1907; tressensi Peyerimhoff, 1949; championi Bernauer, 1936; peyerimhoffi Fagel, 1954, and three troglobitic ones: rotroui Scheerpeltz, 1935; ruei Espanol, 1969; minosianus Lecoq & Queinnec, 2005. One new species: Bernard LEBRETON & Jean-Pierre BESSON Créé le : 01.01.2010 Modifié le : 30.06.2010 Apteranillus bichaini in litt. has been discovered in Morocco during the Win-Timdouine 2008 speleological and biospeological expedition. Win- Timdouine is the longest subterranean river known in Africa. It is located under the Tasroukht Plateau, in the most oriental part of the Atlas chain, 60 kilometers north-east of Agadir. Its subterranean course is seven kilometers long (13 km including affluents and ramifications). From this cave was already known the cave adapted Paederinae Domene cantonsi Espanol. During this expedition, other speleological objects were explored in the vicinity of the Taskroukht Plateau. In the cave Imi Ougoug (=Ifri Ouadou 1=grotte du vent) in Aksri, in the Aksri-Ankhout hydrogeological basin, 7 specimens of A. bichaini in. litt. have been discovered. On this occasion, we redescribe the species of this genus and discuss their phylogenetic relationships. http://www.icsb2010.net/ PERRY (R. W.), CARTER (S. A.) & THILL (R. E.), 2010. Temporal Patterns in Capture Rate and Sex Ratio of Forest Bats in Arkansas. The American Midland Naturalist 164(2, October):270-282. ABS: We quantified changes in capture rates and sex ratios from May to Sept. for eight species of bats, derived from 8 y of extensive mist netting in forests of the Ouachita Mountains, Arkansas. Our primary goal was to determine patterns of relative abundance for each species of bat captured over forest streams and to determine if these patterns were similar to patterns of abundance found in other types of studies, including studies of bat mortality at wind turbines. We also wanted to discern regional patterns in sex ratios that have implications for seasonal distributions and migration. Capture rates for eastern red bats (Lasiurus borealis) were up to 25 times greater in Aug. and Sept. than in spring or early summer. Although not significant (P = 0.063), capture rates of hoary bats (L. cinereus) peaked in both late spring and late summer. Silver-haired bats (Lasionycteris noctivagans) were abundant in late spring and late summer but were absent during mid summer, suggesting they migrated from the area. Sex ratios of red bats were predominately male in late spring and late summer but were dominated by females in mid summer, possibly because of increased activity of lactating females during mid summer. Female Seminole bats (L. seminolus) were only captured after Aug. 1, suggesting a seasonal geographic separation of sexes. Our results suggest that patterns of bat abundance derived from mist netting over forest streams may be similar to patterns of bat fatalities at wind turbines, communication towers, aircraft strikes, roads and patterns derived from trapping at cave entrances for many species, but it is unclear why this pattern appears ubiquitous. http://www.bioone.org/doi/abs/10.1674/0003-0031- 164.2.270?prevSearch=%5Bfulltext%3A+cave%5D&searchHistoryKey= &queryHash=b2f47304a5945646b93b77f5b3dcc2da PFEIFFER (B.), SCHWARZENBERGER (F.) & MAYER (F.), 2010. Mating system, swarming behavior and testosterone levels in a hibernating bat (Myotis myotis) from the temperate zone:246. 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: Reproduction in hibernating bats from the temperate zones bears unique features in several aspects. In many species females copulate with more than one male and store inseminated sperm in their genital tract over the hibernal period. Ovulation and fertilization occurs in spring. Some species display distinctive swarming behavior at caves in late summer to fall. These swarming sites may serve as rendezvous points where sexes meet for reproduction. In order to investigate the male reproductive cycle and mating activity, we mist-netted bats during their active season at a cave over three consecutive years. We inferred the male reproductive condition of the greater mouse-eared bat (Myotis myotis) from measuring testes sizes and enlargements of caudae epididymes. We additionally analyzed circulating testosterone levels from blood samples. Although spermatogenesis had already ceased at the peak of swarming activity, testosterone levels increased to high levels. We argue that these hormone concentrations are induced by intense sexual competition among males and through female choice. They also provide further evidence that swarming behavior has a reproductive function. PHELPS (K. L.), OLIVAL (K. J.) & KINGSTON (T.), 2010.

ABS: Bats (Order Chiroptera) have long been recognized as natural reservoir hosts for viruses, but more recently, bats have been implicated as hosts for numerous emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) that have impacted other wildlife species, domestic livestock, and human populations. Bats exhibit life history characteristics that make them ideal reservoir hosts, particularly high species diversity, ability to travel long distances via powered flight, long life spans, and the formation of dense roosting aggregations. Within tropical caves, high colony densities coupled with high diversity of cave-roosting bat species, present ideal conditions for virus transmission between individuals and among species. In peninsular Malaysia, numerous bat species are dependent upon solution caves formed within limestone outcrop formations, known as karsts, which provide stable microclimates suitable for roosting and rearing young, as well as, shelter from climatic events and predators. Threats to karst formations, particularly commercial quarrying and logging operations, result in the direct loss of roosting and foraging sites. Such threats have detrimental effects on the viability of cave-roosting bat populations, and present a potential source of stress that may lead to a spillover event. Therefore, documenting ecological characteristics and infection rates of cave-roosting bat species across a landscape experiencing anthropogenic modification is crucial to understanding the relationship between human activities and the emergence of zoonotic diseases. Previous initiatives have acted retroactively, attempting to control or eradicate host populations after a spillover event has occurred. My objective is to document the host-virus relationship, specifically virus and bat diversity, across a spectrum of landscape modification in order to facilitate in a proactive approach to preventing potential spillover events. PIERCE (B. A.), CHRISTIANSEN (J. L.), RITZER (A. L.) & JONES (T. A.), 2010. Ecology of Georgetown Salamanders (Eurycea naufragia) Within the Flow of a Spring. The Southwestern Naturalist 55(2, June):291-297. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1894/WL-30.1. ABS: The Georgetown salamander, Eurycea naufragia, is a permanently neotenic salamander known only from about a dozen surface springs and caves in Williamson County, Texas. Rapid urbanization places all known populations at risk and conservation strategies are hindered by a lack of information on the ecology of the species. To better understand requirements of microhabitat and spatial distribution of E. naufragia within flows of surface springs, we conducted counts of salamanders on the surface at one locality over a 12-month period. Numbers of salamanders and percentage of cover objects occupied by salamanders varied among months, with a general trend of higher abundance in spring and summer. Few juveniles were observed, and there was no strong seasonal trend in distribution of size of salamanders. Within the flow of the spring, abundance of salamanders decreased linearly with distance from origin of the spring. Salamanders were more likely to be under rocks than under other types of cover objects and they selected larger rocks. Larger salamanders occupied larger cover objects; rocks covering multiple salamanders were larger than those covering single salamanders. RES: La salamandra Eurycea naufragia es una salamandra permanentemente neoténica conocida solamente de una docena de manantiales superficiales y cuevas en el condado de Williamson de Texas. La rápida urbanización que ocurre en las áreas donde habita la especie pone a todas las poblaciones conocidas en riesgo, pero las estrategias de conservación son impedidas por falta de información básica sobre su ecología. Para entender mejor las necesidades del microhábitat y la distribución espacial de E. naufragia dentro de los flujos de los manantiales superficiales, contamos el número de salamandras en la superficie de una localidad por un período de doce meses. La cantidad de salamandras y el porcentaje de objetos de cubierta utilizados por las salamandras variaron de mes en mes, con una tendencia general de más abundancia durante los meses de la primavera y del verano. Observamos Bernard LEBRETON & Jean-Pierre BESSON Créé le : 01.01.2010 Modifié le : 30.06.2010 muy pocos juveniles, y no hubo ninguna fuerte tendencia estacional en las distribuciones del tamaño de las salamandras. Dentro del flujo del manantial, la abundancia de las salamandras disminuyó linealmente con la distancia del nacimiento del manantial. Fue más probable encontrar salamandras debajo de piedras que debajo de otros tipos de objetos de cubierta y las salamandras eligieron piedras más grandes. Las salamandras más grandes ocuparon objetos de cubierta más grandes; las piedras cubriendo múltiples salamandras fueron más grandes que las que cubrieron salamandras individuales.

Prevalence of Spinturnicidae, Ixodidae and Argasidae in bats during spring and fall swarming in Southern Poland:249. 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: The aim of the study was to determine the parameters for parasitisation by Ixodidae, Argasidae and Spinturnicidae in bats during the autumn and spring swarming. The research was conducted in 2008-2009 at the cave opening of the Zbójeckie Cave in Łopień (Beskid Wyspowy Mountain, Southern Poland). From 16 bat species the following parasites were collected: Carios vespertilionis, Ixodes vespertilionis, I. ricinus, Spinturnix myoti, S. bechsteinii, S. emarginatus, S. kolenatii, S. andegavinus, S. plecotinus, and S. punctata. In the case of the Spinturnicidae there were no differences confirmed in the parasitic invasion indicators for bats in the autumn and spring swarms. During the spring, a clear increase in the Ixodes vespertilionis parasitic infestation value was observed. PIKSA (K.) & NOWAK (J.), 2010.

ABS: The aim of the project was to determine the changes in the structure of bats assemblages wintering in caves at a variety of altitudes. The research was conducted in the Polish Carpathians in over 70 caves situated between 300 and 1930 m above sea level. Field surveys were carried out during consecutive hibernation periods between seasons 2003 and 2009. Around 14000 hibernating bats from 14 species were recorded. The most numerous species were Rhinolophus hipposideros and Myotis mystacinus complex. Relatively large numbers of greater mouse-eared bats Myotis myotis and northern bats Eptesicus nilssonii were recorded. The remaining species were observed in small numbers. Alongside the increase in altitude, there were clear changes in: species diversity, vertical spectrums, the structures of bats assemblages, the similarity between dominant structures, and so on. The variation in coenotic parameters for the assemblages of wintering bats allowed us to distinguish four levels in the hypsometric gradient. The fundamental causative factor in the similarity of dominant structures within a level and their distinction between levels is the thermal regime of the hibernacula. The differences in thermal conditions within the hibernacula are caused by the structure's height above sea level, the area's geological make-up, and the chimney effect. PINDER (A. M.), HALSE (S.
