2010. Influence of anthropogenic disturbance on caveroosting
bats and the potential emergence of associated
zoonotic diseases:246-247. 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 (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.

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

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

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.

BENDA, ISBN 978-80-87154-46-5, 380 p. 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.
