Studies Of The Cave Crayfish, Orconectes Inermis Inermis Cope (Decapoda, Cambaridae). Part Iv: Mark-Recapture Procedures For Estimating Population Size And Movements Of Individuals, Horton H. Hobbs Iii Jan 1978

Studies Of The Cave Crayfish, Orconectes Inermis Inermis Cope (Decapoda, Cambaridae). Part Iv: Mark-Recapture Procedures For Estimating Population Size And Movements Of Individuals, Horton H. Hobbs Iii

International Journal of Speleology

Several methods for permanently marking cavernicolous crayfishes were investigated prior to initiation of field work in Pless Cave, Lawrence County, Indiana. Internally injected ink complemented with external “painting” proved to be a most satisfactory tagging procedure. During the two-year study period 211 individuals of the troglobitic crayfish Orconectes inermis inermis Cope were marked; 96 tagged individuals were recaptured at least once, a 46% recapture rate. The population size was estimated to be 1586 +/- 79 (95% C.L.) over the 540 m subterranean stream study area and remained relatively stable during the period of 1970 to 1972. The home range of …

A Contribution To The Study Of The Genus Porrhomma (Araneae: Linyphiidae). Notes On A Population Of P. Egeria (Simon) And Other Cavernicolous Species, J. D. Bourne Jan 1978

A Contribution To The Study Of The Genus Porrhomma (Araneae: Linyphiidae). Notes On A Population Of P. Egeria (Simon) And Other Cavernicolous Species, J. D. Bourne

International Journal of Speleology

A morphological and biometrical study of a population of Porrhomma egeria (Simon) has allowed to determine that P. moravicum (Miller and Kratochvil) and P. obambulatum (Kritscher) belong to the same species and should thus be considered synonymous. The importance of biometric studies for the study of this Genus is emphasised.


Carotenoids In Niphargus Casimiriensis Skalski (Amphipoda) From Artesian Wells, B. Czeczuga, A. Skalski Jan 1978

Carotenoids In Niphargus Casimiriensis Skalski (Amphipoda) From Artesian Wells, B. Czeczuga, A. Skalski

International Journal of Speleology

By means of columnar and thin-layer chromatography, the presence of carotenoids in Niphargus casimiriensis Skalski from an artesian well was studied. There are qualitative and quantitative differences in the carotenoid contents of the Niphargus casimiriensis Skalski specimens.


The Tegumental Glands Of A Troglobitic Crustacean, L. Juberthie-Jupeau, Y. Crouau Jan 1978

The Tegumental Glands Of A Troglobitic Crustacean, L. Juberthie-Jupeau, Y. Crouau

International Journal of Speleology

Tegumental glands, located in the antennae of Antromysis juberthiei are present in males and females; in the antennulae each of them consists of 3 cells: a secretory cell of large size, an intermediary cell and a canal cell probably secretory in nature. The canal cell possesses an extracellular cavity with deep infoldings and microvilli between which the canal crinkles along. The intermediary cell is heavily provided with microfilaments. The secretory granules have an organized content.


Spontane Und Induzierte Aktivitätsmuster Bei Troglobionten Käfern (Genera Aphaenops, Geotrechus, Speonomus), G. Lamprecht, F. Weber Jan 1978

Spontane Und Induzierte Aktivitätsmuster Bei Troglobionten Käfern (Genera Aphaenops, Geotrechus, Speonomus), G. Lamprecht, F. Weber

International Journal of Speleology

In Constant temperature the troglobite beetles Aphaenops cerberus and pluto, Geotrechus orpheus and Speonomus diecki are aperiodically active. By periodogram analysis neither circadian nor ultradian or infradian periodic components can be found. Moreover there are no relevant correlations between the lengths of successive activity bursts and rest pauses. Consequently the activity patterns are stochasticly structured. In cases with constancy of activity respectively rest behaviour the probabilities for the transition from activity to rest and from rest to activity are computed using the Frequency histograms of lengths of activity bursts and rest pauses. The transition probability is time-invariant if the …


Humidity Responses And The Role Of Hamann's Organ Of Cavernicolous Bathysciinae (Coleoptera Catopidae), Marco Lucarelli, Valerio Sbordoni Jan 1978

Humidity Responses And The Role Of Hamann's Organ Of Cavernicolous Bathysciinae (Coleoptera Catopidae), Marco Lucarelli, Valerio Sbordoni

International Journal of Speleology

The humidity responses of Bathysciola derosasi and Leptodirus hohenwarti, two species of troglobitic Bathysciinae showing different degrees of adaptation to cave environment, have been studied. Intact and antennectomised subjects were tested using choice-chambers with various combinations of relative humidity alternatives (i.e. 20-100%, 50-100%, 90-100%, 50-90% and, as controls, 100-100%) to investigate the role played by the sense organs situated on the 7th, 9th and 10th antenna segments. The results show that intact-antenna subjects of both species are very sensitive to humidity gradients and that their intensity of reaction varies according to the intensity of stimulus, as previously reported by …

Un Batrachuperus Adulte Dans Une Grotte D'Iran Espèce Nouvelle?, M. Clergue-Gazeau, J. P. Farcy Jan 1978

Un Batrachuperus Adulte Dans Une Grotte D'Iran Espèce Nouvelle?, M. Clergue-Gazeau, J. P. Farcy

International Journal of Speleology

During a speleological exploration of a cave in Iran, a species of Urodele Hynobiidae was found. This Batrachian is either a new species of the genus Batrachuperus or an adult form of the species Batrachuperus persieus previously only described in its larval and juvenile forms. Certain observable differences suggest that it can be considered a new species. Observations on its feeding habits indicate that the presence of this periodic trogloxene in the cave is not “accidental”, but that it remains there for a long period during its life cycle.


The Discovery Of Proteus-Eggs (Proteus Anguinus Laurenti, Amphibia) In Seminatural Conditions, B. Sket, F. Velkovrh Jan 1978

The Discovery Of Proteus-Eggs (Proteus Anguinus Laurenti, Amphibia) In Seminatural Conditions, B. Sket, F. Velkovrh

International Journal of Speleology

Proteus-eggs were found for the first time in the nature, drifted out of a karstic spring. They were obtained from the Vir Spring al Sticna, 30 km ESE of Ljubljana. The hydrological and faunistical data indicate that Proteus lays its eggs also in “unsheltered”, energetically rich groundwater habitats.
