We hypothesized that these radiators aid in maintaining heat balance by flushing the uninsulated thermal window with warm blood, thereby dissipating heat while bats are flying under warm conditions, but shunting blood away and conserving heat when they are flying in cooler air at high altitudes. We also examined fluid-preserved specimens representing 122 species from 15 of 18 chiropteran families and radiators appeared present only in species in the family Molossidae, including both sedentary and migratory species and subspecies. Thus, the radiator appears to be a unique trait that may facilitate energy balance and water balance during sustained dispersal, foraging, and long-distance migration.

ABS: We studied the activity of bats at a cave entrance in Styria, Austria from 13 th of July until 28 th of December 2009. Thus, we included the period for the autumnal swarming followed by the winter activity. The species assemblage of the cave includes species that are hard to capture like Rhinolophus hipposideros and species that are difficult/impossible to distinguish by their ultrasound calls like e. g. Myotis mystacinus and Myotis brandtii. Therefore we used infrared light beams and automatic photographing of bats to get reliable results for species which are poorly understood in terms of swarming and winter activity, respectively. More then 109900 flights into the cave and 101240 flights out of the cave were recorded during our study period, with 50% of the recordings between mid of August and mid of September. Subsequently the activity at the cave was continuously decreasing. However, we found bat activity on every single day of the study period, even at very low ambient temperatures. We were able to take 67769 pictures of bats flying into the cave (=62% of all flights into the cave). The pictures were assigned to 11 bat species or species groups. By far the most numerous or active bat at the cave was Rhinolophus hipposideros (87.9% of all pictures). Other active species were Myotis emarginatus (4.4%), Pipistrellus spp. (3.3%), Barbastella barbastellus (1.6%) and Rhinolophus ferrumequinum (1.5%). The following species were photographed in much smaller numbers: Myotis daubentonii, M. mystacinus or M. brandtii, Eptesicus serotinus, Plecotus spp., Myotis myotis or M. oxygnathus and M. nattereri. For five bat species we present species specific activity patterns and we use the results of the activity recording for comparison with the visually counted bats during the hibernation count.

Moss is a key nurse plant for reintroduction of the endangered herb, Primulina tabacum Hance. Plant Ecology 209(2, Août):313-320. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11258-010-9754-5. ABS: The rare and endangered plant Primulina tabacum is a calciphilous perennial herb found only at the entrances of a small number of karst cave drainages in southern China. In a conservation effort, we identified potentially suitable habitats and reintroduced P. tabacum plantlets (propagated in vitro) to one historical and two new cave entrances. The transplanted seedlings survived (10%) at only one new location where a moss, Gymnostomiella longinervis Broth, existed. Our field observations indicate that it is probably impossible for this rare plant to naturally recolonize the places where it went extinct because the habitats have changed. Transplanted P. tabacum grew slower than wild P. tabacum. The transplanted P. tabacum performed especially well under the cover of the nursing moss. Positive interactions between species, i. e., nurse plant effects, are important for reintroduction of success. Although light and soil conditions also appeared to be critical for transplantation success, the presence of moss should be considered as a useful and convenient indicator of suitable habitat for P. tabacum. This study case suggests that the use of new propagation methods and nurse plants can facilitate the reintroduction of rare and endangered herbs.

ABS: Winter bat survey was carried out in the Čierna hora Mts., eastern Slovakia, in 2007-2010. In total, 24 sites considered suitable for bat hibernation (caves, mine adit, road tunnel) were checked. We found 10 bat species (Rhinolophus ferrumequinum, R. hipposideros, Myotis myotis, M. bechsteinii, M. emarginatus, M. daubentonii, Eptesicus serotinus, Barbastella barbastellus, Plecotus auritus, and P. austriacus) and two species groups (Myotis mystacinus complex and Myotis sp.) to hibernate in the area. Barbastella barbastellus, Rhinolophus hipposideros, R. ferrumequinum, Myotis myotis, and M. daubentonii were the most frequently found species. Mass aggregations were observed only at one site; Barbastella barbastellus created groups of up to 180 individuals in the Margeciansky tunnel. Numbers of bats in these aggregations showed an increasing trend during the period 2008-2010.

ABS: After some studies aimed on the ecology of superficial subterranean habitats (MSS) realised in other parts of Europe we used series of pitfall traps plugged in 110 cm plastic tubes for investigation of subterranean invertebrate communities in the Čierna hora Mts., Western Carpathians. The study plot was situated in steep limestone
© Biospeologica Bibliographia Publications 2010-1 Page 91 sur 116 scree slopes covered by linden-maple forest in the valley Malý Ružínok (NNR Sivec) about 500 m a. s. l. Three tubes with 10 traps each placed in the depth from 5 to 95 cm (every 10 cm) under the surface were installed here during one year (Sept. 2008-Nov. 2009). The traps with 4% formalin were checked monthly. Temperature was recorded continually by dataloggers along all tubes. Sampled fauna was counted and identified on the species or on the higher taxa levels. More then 26000 individuals were found: arthropods and a few specimens of gastropods and earthworms. Eudominant Collembola (67.5%) were followed by Acarina (15.5%), insect larvae (7.5%), Diptera (5.1%) and Coleoptera (1.2%), all the groups were captured along the entire depth gradient. Opiliones (3 spp.), Oniscidea (5 spp.), Diplopoda (9 spp.), Chilopoda (6 spp.) and Formicoidea (3 spp.) were studied in detail. The majority of the representatives live on or closely under the surface here. But we found also rare subterranean taxa (isopod Mesoniscus graniger, millipede Mecogonopodium carpathicum). The arthropods from other groups were infrequent and mostly at the surface, but some of them were living also deeper (e. g. Aphidinea or Hymenoptera) feeding on tree roots or as carnivores. A high degree of similarity of arthropod communities in caves and MSS promises good possibilities to collect rare cavernicoles in MSS. Such type of MSS is important as refugium for relic fauna. Animals with large body, or those more sensitive to gently unstable microclimate, or those with low competition ability are not dwelling in MSS. The depth of the trap is not crucial, the habitat has specific climate regime almost up to the surface here. Activity of invertebrates is forced by seasonal climate changes and for faunistic studies the end of spring time is the most convenient period. But it is not interrupted during winter or summer. Dynamic microclimate without extremes of the above surface atmosphere is more stable deeper in the debris.

A new microphthalmic stygobitic Graptodytes Seidlitz from Morocco, with a molecular phylogeny of the genus (Coleoptera, Dytiscidae). Zootaxa 2641(October 11):1-14, 6 pl., 29 réf. ABS: We describe Graptodytes eremitus n. sp. (Coleoptera, Dytiscidae), a depigmented, microphthalmic stygobitic species found in a pool in the deep area of a cave in the High Atlas of Morocco. To establish its phylogenetic position we inferred a molecular phylogeny of the genus Graptodytes Seidlitz, using ca. 1.7 Kb of four mitochondrial genes for 18 of the 23 previously known species and subspecies of the genus. Graptodytes can be separated in three well supported main lineages, 1) the G. flavipes lineage (apex of median lobe narrow in ventral view), 2) the G. granularis lineage (apex of median lobe expanded and strongly asymmetrical in ventral view), and 3) the G. varius lineage (apex of median lobe expanded but symmetrical in ventral view). The G. varius lineage includes the G. aequalis and G. varius groups, the latter including G. eremitus n. sp. as sister to G. delectus Wollaston (Canary Islands) plus the G. varius complex. A molecular clock approach, using a calibration rate of 2.3% divergence/MY for the combined mitochondrial sequence, estimated the origin of the diversification within the genus at ca. 7MY (late Miocene), and the origin of G. eremitus n. sp. at ca. 2 MY (Pliocene- Pleistocene boundary).

Extreme habitats are not refuges: poeciliids suffer from increased aerial predation risk in sulphidic southern Mexican habitats. Biological Bernard LEBRETON & Jean-Pierre BESSON Créé le : 01.01.2010 Modifié le : 30.06.2010 Journal of the Linnean Society 101(2, October):417-426. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1095-8312.2010.01522.x. ABS: Extreme environments are often considered a predation refuge for organisms living in them. In southern Mexico several species of poeciliid fishes are undergoing incipient speciation in a variety of extreme (i. e. permanently dark and/or sulphidic) freshwater systems, and previous research has demonstrated reproductive isolation between populations from sulphidic and adjacent benign habitats. In the present study, we investigated bird predation rates (measured as successful captures per minute) in two sulphidic surface and several benign surface habitats, to test the hypothesis that extreme habitats are predation refuges. We found capture rates to be approximately 20 times higher in sulphidic environments: probably facilitated by extremophile poeciliids spending most of their time at the water surface, where they engage in aquatic surface respiration as a direct response to hypoxia. Even birds that are usually not considered major fish predators regularly engage in fish predation in the toxic habitats of southern Mexico. Our results demonstrate that extreme environments do not necessarily represent a refuge from predation, and we discuss the general importance of predation in driving incipient speciation in these systems. Finally, we hypothesize that natural selection via avian predation may play an important role in maintaining reproductive isolation between divergent poeciliid populations.

DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10682- 009-9335-z. ABS: Maternal provisioning of animal embryos may be entirely through yolk deposited in the unfertilized egg (lecithotrophy) or may include post-fertilization nutrient transfer (matrotrophy) in varying degrees. Current theory suggests that the extent of post-fertilization provisioning is resource-dependent, with higher levels of matrotrophy being advantageous in more productive environments. In this study, we investigated post-fertilization embryo provisioning in a livebearing fish, Poecilia mexicana, from two different habitats (a toxic cave and a nontoxic surface habitat) that impose different energetic demands and therefore differ in resources available for reproduction. We predicted that fish in the benign habitat would be more matrotrophic than those from the toxic cave. We used two different techniques for this assay: (1) the matrotrophy-index analysis (MI) for field-collected fish and (2) both MI and radio-tracer assay for laboratory-reared females. According to the interpretation of the matrotrophy index, both populations are purely lecithotrophic, while the radio-tracer assay found females from both populations to actively transfer nutrients to developing embryos at approximately the same rate. Our results suggest that P. mexicana, which was traditionally classified as lecithotrophic, is capable of incipient matrotrophy, and that matrotrophy can contribute to embryo provisioning even in populations from resource-limited environments. Furthermore, the analysis of laboratory-reared animals provides evidence for a genetic component to the large offspring size in cave mollies, which had so far only been described from the field. Specifically, our results suggest matrotrophy occurs in species interpreted as lecithotrophic using the MI approach. Hence, to avoid misclassification, both techniques should ideally be employed in concert, rather than individually. Finally, our results provide further insights into the possible evolutionary pathway from lecithotrophic oviparity to matrotrophic viviparity.
