© Biospeologica Bibliographia Publications 2010-1 Page 96 sur 116 temporal population changes are presented. Slovakian population is divided to 2-3 (isolated?) subpopulations occurring in separated roost systems (hibernacula - transient roosts - maternity roosts). Based on a revision of data from maternity colonies, the process of synanthropisation is discussed. Among 16 maternity roosts, majority are situated in attics (10, i. e. 62.5%), while 6 in underground (4 caves, 2 mines). A question remains, if the increasing number of colonies detected in man-made aboveground roosts is a function of population growth or a change of roost strategy in this species at its dsitribution margin.

ABS: Hesperonemastoma smilax, n. sp., is a minute, highly troglomorphic harvestman described herein from a single male specimen collected in McClung's Cave, Greenbrier County, West Virginia. Hesperonemastoma species described previously from caves are briefly discussed. H. packardi (Roewer), first collected in a shallow cave in Utah, is a widely distributed surface-dwelling species found mostly in riparian canyon habitats in northern Utah; it shows no troglomorphic adaptations. Hesperonemastoma inops (Packard), described from a cave in Kentucky, is not a species of Hesperonemastoma, but most likely a juvenile of Sabacon cavicolens (Packard), which was described from the same small cave. Hesperonemastoma pallidimaculosum (Goodnight & Goodnight) is a moderately adapted troglobiont known from two caves in Alabama. SHEAR (W. A.), 2010.

ABS: At present the subterranean amphipod fauna of the Far East remains insufficiently investigated. In this region a complex of stygobiont amphipods of the endemic family Pseudocrangonyctidae consists of two genera: Pseudocrangonyx and Procrangonyx. The subterranean freshwater amphipod genus Pseudocrangonyx, which includes 15 described and several undescribed species, is widespread in eastern China, the Korean Peninsula, the Japan Archipelago, the continental part of the far-eastern Russia and Sakhalin Island and Kamchatka Peninsula. The species of Pseudocrangonyx inhabit various subsurface streams, deep groundwater aquifers, and cave reservoirs connected with groundwater table; whereas species of Procrangonyx, as a rule, are confined to deep groundwater aquifers and are restricted to areas surrounding the semi-enclosed East Sea. Presently, three species are known in the genus Procrangonyx. The morphological and ecological differences between Pseudocrangonyx and Procrangonyx were studied, and a preliminary scenario of the evolutionary history of Pseudocrangonyctidae is proposed, based on phylogenic and biogeographic considerations.

A Bactrurus-like subterranean amphipod (Crangonyctidae) from the Ural Mountain karst region:145, 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: Recent biological inventory of caves and wells in the Ural Mountain karst region by N. N. Pankov and A. B. Krasheninnikov resulted in collections of crangonyctid amphipods from the cave lakes of Kungur Ice Cave, Babinogorskaya Cave, Ordinskaya Cave and driven wells in the Irgina River basin. The moderately stygomorphic animals are about 15-20 mm in length, white in color, and eyeless. Besides the above mentioned places amphipods were found in Metschka Cave that is the type locality of the poorly known Crangonyx chlebnikovi, which was described by E. W. Borutzky in 1928. The holotype was not designated properly but a syntype series was kept at the Zoological Museum of Moscow State University. Because the original description of the species was lacking several important details the correct generic assignment has remained problematic. Careful investigation of the recently collected materials leaves no doubt about the placement of this species in the family Crangonyctidae and a close morphological affinity with species of the genus Bactrurus. However, despite several similarities with Bactrurus, this species differs significantly in the shape of gnathopods and pleonal plates and an increasing number of pleopod retinaculi, and will therefore be designated as type-species of a new crangonyctid genus currently being described. The genus Bactrurus is endemic of the North American continent and widespread in subterranean groundwaters of the eastcentral United States. The finding of Bactrurus-like subterranean

ABS: The spatial and temporal patterns in concentration and character of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in karst basins in Slovenia and the United States were characterized. DOM in the shallow aquifer, or epikarst, waters was characterized by low, stable concentration and compounds of low aromaticity and humification. There was strong temporal coherence in DOM character, but not concentration, across locations within the epikarst. DOM in sinking streams, cave streams, and resurgence springs typically had higher DOM concentration and aromaticity. Fluorescence and parallel factor analysis of DOM revealed that humic or fulvic-like substances in soils, surface and cave streams, and springs were the dominant fluorophores. However, DOM extracted from soils was chemically different from that present in the stream and spring waters. Epikarst water contained humic-like and protein-like DOM, and had fluorescence characteristics indicative of microbial uptake and release of DOM in the epikarst. These data show that there are substantial basin-scale patterns in DOM concentration and character and that aquifer structure influences the spatial patterns of DOM in karst groundwater.

Trophic niche of two subterranean isopod species along a parapatric boundary in pre-Alps and Jura Mountains (France): a preliminary field study using stable isotopes:122-123, 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 influence of abiotic and biotic interactions in shaping the present-day distribution ranges of stygobiotic species has attracted very little attention essentially because distributional patterns have historically been interpreted as palaeogeographical imprints of the geographic range of putative epigean colonizers. Only very recently have some studies attempted to model species richness or distribution using abiotic predictors. In most groundwater studies, however, physical variables alone left a substantial amount of unexplained deviance. It is therefore necessary to investigate the role of biotic interactions in the distribution patterns of groundwater species. Proasellus cavaticus and Proasellus valdensis exhibit separate but contiguous distributions along the western margins of the Jura and pre-Alps mountains. The goal of this work is to determine whether these two parapatric species exhibit the same trophic niche in nearby groundwater systems, hence suggesting interspecific competition for food along the parapatric boundary. We thus determined the diet of both species in six caves located along the contact zone, using carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes. The contribution of the different food resources to Proasellus diet have been calculated using mixing model from their 13 C/ 12 C and 15 N/ 14 N ratios. In the six caves, P. cavaticus and P. valdensis exhibit a similar diet, mainly constituted of bacteria attached on sediments (> 70%), while particulate organic matter contributes with a maximum of 30% to both species diet. This result indicates that interspecific competition for food may be a structural factor of species distribution in groundwater ecosystems. Laboratory experiments are needed to test this hypothesis of competition by measuring the influence of the interactions between P. cavaticus and P. valdensis on their trophic efficiency. This work was developed within the framework of the DEEP research program. http://www.icsb2010.net/ Bernard LEBRETON & Jean-Pierre BESSON Créé le : 01.01.2010 Modifié le : 30.06.2010 SIMON (T.
