Evolution and phylogeny of the subterranean genus Troglocharinus (Coleoptera, Leiodidae, Leptodirini):159-160, 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: Among Coleoptera, the tribe Leptodirini (Leiodidae, Cholevinae) includes some 240 genera and 1800 exclusively subterranean species that present morphologic and physiological characters related to the endogean habitat: blindness, depigmentation, typical "pholeunoid" or "batiscioid" morphologies, size reduction, or changes in physiology and life cycle. They are mainly distributed in the north side of the Mediterranean area, from the Iberian peninsula to the Middle East. Despite continuous attention from entomologists for the last two centuries, their phylogenetic relationships and evolutionary origin remain controversial. In this work we study the phylogeny and diversification of the genus Troglocharinus, a member of the recently identified monophyletic Pyrenean clade of Leptodirini, largely corresponding to the traditional Speonomus series. The genus Troglocharinus presents a disjunct distribution, with twenty species distributed in the coastal ranges of Catalonia (Garraf, San Llorenc del Munt i Obac and Montserrat), and twelve in the pre-Pyrenees (Serra del Montsec de Rubies, Serra del Boumort, Alt Urgell and Serra de Lleras), with a single isolated species in Alto Aragon. Due to the strong convergence of external morphological characters and the abundance and intraspecific variability of some taxa the taxonomy of the genus has been very unstable. We aim to establish a robust phylogeny to study the evolution of this extensive subterranean species radiation, and to provide a temporal framework for the diversification of various lineages and the colonization of the geographical areas in which they occur. For that purpose we use molecular phylogenies of six mitochondrial (cox1, cob, rrnL, trnL and nad1) and two nuclear (SSU and LSU) genes. Preliminary results using eleven species and seven subspecies show the respective monophyly of the Pyrenean and the coastal clades with a strong geographical structuring within each of them, suggesting the existence of multiple independent evolutionary lineages and the need of a deep taxonomic reordination of the genus. http://www.icsb2010.net/ RODHOUSE (T.

Acta Chiropterologica 12(2, December):359-362. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3161/150811010X537945. ABS: Freeroaming cats are known to adversely impact native faunas in the areas where they have been introduced, an impact that is even greater on islands. We examine the predation of bats by cats at Culebrones cave, Puerto Rico, West Indies. Culebrones cave is a hot cave located in the karst region of northern Puerto Rico. The temperature gradient inside the cave sustains a multi-species assemblage of bats consisting of approximately 300000 individuals of six species, namely: Brachyphylla cavernarum, Erophylla bombifrons, Monophyllus redmani, Mormoops blainvillei, Pteronotus quadridens and Pteronotus parnellii. Even though rats are often their primary prey, cats will use alternative prey, which enables them to maintain their abundance when one prey is not available. In Puerto Rico, birds and reptiles are known to be preyed upon by cats. Although cats are commonly observed in or around bat caves in Puerto Rico, this is the first systematic attempt to evaluate their role as bat predators. We made observations of the hunting strategy of cats using an infrared camera and recorded the number of wings left as remains of these hunting bouts. Wings were identified to species. Cat scats were also recovered and examined to identify prey species. Our results suggest that captures of different species of bats is not a function of their abundance in the cave. While M. blainvillei (11 g) and P. quadridens (5 g) are the most abundant species in the cave, B. cavernarum (50 g) and M. redmani (11 g) are captured in greater numbers by the cats.

Population Status of the Southern Cavefish, Typhlichthys subterraneus in Arkansas. Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science 64:106-110. ABS: We summarize the results of our study on the status of the southern cavefish (Typhlichthys subterraneus) in Arkansas. Its presence in the state represents the western-southern limits of its distribution. Four localities have been confirmed that contain individuals of this species: Richardson Cave (Fulton County), Alexander Cave/Clark Spring (Stone County), Ennis Cave (Stone County), and Lake Norfork (Baxter County). A fifth locality has been cited as a well in Randolph County, but because the exact location is unknown, its presence has not been confirmed. A number of unconfirmed localities for "cavefishes" in the region has not been included in this report. Populations of this species in Arkansas seem to be small (less than 100 individuals) which is common among populations of hypogean amblyopsids elsewhere. All the confirmed localities are in areas either under controlled access by the private owners or by the federal government. No immediate threat to these populations was found by either overcollecting or other anthropogenic causes. Yet long-term monitoring of the recharge zones is recommended. ROONEY (D. C.), HUTCHENS (E.), CLIPSON (N.), BALDINI (J.) & McDERMOTT (F.), 2010. Microbial Community Diversity of Moonmilk Deposits at Ballynamintra Cave, Co. Waterford, Ireland. Microbial Ecology 60(4):753-761. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00248-010-9693-7. ABS: Caves are extreme and specialised habitats for terrestrial life that sometimes contain moonmilk, a fine-grained paste-like secondary mineral deposit that is found in subterranean systems worldwide. While previous studies have investigated the possible role of microorganisms in moonmilk precipitation, the microbial community ecology of moonmilk deposits is poorly understood. Bacterial and fungal community structure associated with four spatially isolated microcrystalline, acicular calcite moonmilk deposits at Ballynamintra Cave (S. Ireland) was investigated during this study. Statistical analyses revealed significant differences in microbial activity, number of bacterial species, bacterial richness and diversity, and fungal diversity (Shannon's diversity) among the moonmilk sites over an area of approximately 2.5 m 2 . However, the number of fungal species and fungal community richness were unaffected by sampling location. SIMPER analysis revealed significant differences in bacterial and fungal community composition among the sampling sites. These data suggest that a rich assemblage of microorganisms exists associated with moonmilk, with some spatial diversity, which may reflect small-scale spatial differences in cave biogeochemistry.

ABS: The nervous system of the meiobenthic priapulid species Tubiluchus troglodytes is described by immunohistochemistry and confocal laser scanning microscopy. The brain is circumpharyngeal, consisting of a central ring of neuropil and both anterior and posterior somata. From the brain emerges a ventral nerve cord, which shows ganglion-like swellings in the neck and caudal region. The introvert includes longitudinal neurite bundles running below and between the rows of scalids, with a small cluster of sensory cells under each scalid. In the body wall of the neck and trunk region, longitudinal and circular neurite bundles are present in an orthogonal pattern. The tail is innervated from the caudal swelling of the ventral nerve cord; it also includes

The pharynx has a reticulated systemof neurite bundles running between the pharyngeal teeth and fimbrillae. Below each tooth and fimbrilus is a ganglion-like cluster of somata. The intestine is surrounded by a nerve net. The data on the nervous system are compared within other priapulids and with other species of Scalidophora (Kinorhyncha and Loricifera).

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: Many species of macroarthropods have colonized various types of subterranean habitats. These are, for example, voids in soil layers, clastic river and slope sediments, stony accumulations, young volcanic deposits, old sedimentary and metamorphic bedrock, lava tubes in consolidated lava flows, and typical pseudokarst and karst caves. Morphological adaptations of arthropods to life in subterranean habitats can be subdivided into edaphomorphisms and troglomorphisms. Edaphomorphisms, i. e., adaptations to life in subsurface interior voids in soil are usually manifested as body diminishing and sometimes also vermiform elongation, shortening of appendages, reduction or rearrangement of chaetotaxy and sensory organs. In contrast, troglomorphisms, i. e., adaptations to life in relatively large spaces, are characteristic by elongation of appendages, and hypertrophy of chaetotaxy and sensory organs. Depigmentation, desclerotization, and reduction of eyes are common for both these groups of adaptations. In Central Europe, we register some of these adaptations in eighteen species of spiders, and eight of them are representatives of the genus Porrhomma. They inhabit leaf litter, ant's nests, deep soil layers, void systems under soil surface, scree voids, and caves. Some of them are specialised to only one exclusive type of subterranean habitat, in contrast some others were recorded in several types of subterranean habitats. Bathyphantes eumenis buchari inhabits exclusively deep scree layers. Porrhomma profundum was recorded exclusively in caves. Porrhomma microps was recorded in leaf litter, deep soil layers and caves. Porrhomma myops has edaphomorphic populations in voids of deep soil layers, and troglomorphic populations in scree voids and caves. Hotspots of subterranean biodiversity, such as Postojna-Planina Cave System, harbour highly specialized, fascinating creatures that we can encounter at the end of their long-term subterranean evolution. On the contrary, temperate latitudes of the northern hemisphere lying in the former Pleistocene periglacial zone harbour invertebrates at the very beginning of their underground evolution. These subterranean habitats are natural laboratories in which we can study early phases of underground evolution of troglobionts. http://www.icsb2010.net/ RŮŽIČKA (V.), LAŠKA (V.), MIKULA (J.) & TUF (I.

Metabolic rates, nutritional state, and thermoregulatory behavior of Molossus:275. 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: Preliminary data is presented on metabolic rates and thermoregulatory behavior for two species of bats in the neotropical island of Puerto Rico in the West Indies, Molossus molossus (Molossidae) and Brachyphylla cavernarum (Phyllostomidae). Molossus molossus roosts predominantly in antropogenic structures where it is exposed to wide variations in ambient temperature. Brachyphylla cavernarum is a cave dwelling species roosting in microclimaticallystable environments. Body temperature was measured at the beginning and end of each experiment and, in the case of M. molossus, upon departure and return to the roost. Oxygen consumption experiments began eight to ten hours following capture and were terminated before the beginning of the next foraging period. All B. cavernarum were allowed to feed the night before the experiment. Half of all M. molossus were deprived of food the night before the experiments. Resting metabolic rate for M. molossus is 1.17 ml O2 g – 1 hr – 1, and 1.01 ml O2 g – 1 hr – 1 for B. cavernarum. Both species closely regulate body temperature. We found differences in oxygen consumption based on the nutritional state of bats. SANZ MUÑOZ (S.), 2010. Analysis of nuclear markers in two species with highly divergent mtDNA lineages in Iceland. ITS in Crangonyx islandicus, EF alpha in Apatania zonella. LÍF016M Research project in biology for foreign students Teacher: Snæbjörn Pálsson University of Iceland Life and Environmental Sciences. 51 p. ABS: This project is a study of variation in two nuclear markers in two arthropods (Crangonyx islandicus and Apatania zonella). Both species have been found to have highly divergent mtDNA lineages within Iceland. Crangonyx islandicus is an endemic groundwater amphipod species recently discovered in Iceland. Based on variation in mtDNA genes, COI and 16S RNA, Kornobis & al., 2010 concluded that this species had survived glaciations periods in sub-glacial refugia. The mtDNA variation defined several monophyletic groups, restricted to different geographic regions in Iceland and which have diverged in Iceland for up to 4-5 Million years. This was supported by a correlation between genetic and geographic distances among species. In this study we look at the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) gene, a piece of non-functional RNA situated between structural ribosomal RNAs (rRNA). The results show different patterns from the mtDNA results in Kornobis & al., 2010, with a major split between two populations, between north and southern Iceland, and different partition among samples in southern populations. The main difference is characterized by a large size difference of the ITS1 region due to insertion or deletion, a highly variable microsatellite was funs within this region. The second part of the project is based in the study of Apatania zonella, a caddisflie (Trichoptera), a circumpolar species which lives at high latitudes, in cold-clear water, streams, lakes and marshes. This study is a continuation of a previous study "Mitochondrial variation of the caddisflies Apatania zonella and Potamphylax cingulatus (Sanz, 2010). The former study showed that Iceland acts as a zone of admixture, where two populations of A. zonella with distinct mtDNA types have arrived, from both ends of its range distribution, one from North America and the other from Europe. In this study we use a nuclear marker, EF alpha, in order to know whether the structure obtained by mtDNA in North America and Europe, is reflected in a nuclear marker and also to verify whether individuals in Iceland of different geographic origin as defined by mtDNA have interbred in Iceland. The results show less clear structure with EF alpha than found in mtDNA. Populations could be sexual or asexual depending on the country. Moreover, results show the rate of evolution of EF alpha is slower than COI's rate.
