Remarques Sur La Biologie Et L'Écologie De Stenasellus Virei Dollfus (Crustacea Isopoda Asellota Des Eaux Souterraines), Guy Magniez Jan 1976

Remarques Sur La Biologie Et L'Écologie De Stenasellus Virei Dollfus (Crustacea Isopoda Asellota Des Eaux Souterraines), Guy Magniez

International Journal of Speleology

Recent observations indicate that a laying season seems to exist, in karstic as well as in phreatic populations. Nevertheless, a single female cannot lay each year, because the reproductive intermolt averages 15-16 months and is always followed by one (9-10 months) or several non-reproductive intermolts. So, the minimum laying rhythm of female St. virei is biennial. The cavernicolous population (St. v. virei) of the Padirac swallow-hole is not a relict, but a colony separated from the main settlement of the alluvial waters of the Dordogne river. On the contrary, it is possible to find, close to each other, …


An Introduction To The Japanese Groundwater Animals With Reference To Their Ecology And Hygienic Significance, Kôichi Matsumoto Jan 1976

An Introduction To The Japanese Groundwater Animals With Reference To Their Ecology And Hygienic Significance, Kôichi Matsumoto

International Journal of Speleology

1) Nearly two hundred species of troglobites are known from the groundwaters of Japan. Most of these troglobiontic species, sixteen of seventy-seven genera, and what is more, four of forty-seven families are endemic to Japan. Uchidastygacaridae, Nipponacaridae, and Kantacaridae are endemic acaridan families of Japan. The coleopterous family, Phreatodytidae, is alto endemic to Japan. 2) Though studies on Protozoa, Turbellaria, Annelida, Aschelminthes, and Ostracoda, etc. remain sparse, the interstitial fauna is actively investigated recently and many specimens of Bathynellacea, Ingolfiella, Bogidiella, Microcerberus, Pseudovermis (Opisthobranchia), and Nerillidae, etc. have been collected from freshwater and marine environments. 3) None of the troglobites …


Systematische Untersuchungen An Grundwasserkrebsen - Eine Bestandsaufnahme (Mit Der Beschreibung Zweier Neuer Gattungen Der Familie Parabathynellidae, Bathynellacea), Horst Kurt Schminke Jan 1976

Systematische Untersuchungen An Grundwasserkrebsen - Eine Bestandsaufnahme (Mit Der Beschreibung Zweier Neuer Gattungen Der Familie Parabathynellidae, Bathynellacea), Horst Kurt Schminke

International Journal of Speleology

This paper reviews critically some recent work on the systematics of subterranean Crustacea, in particular Jakobi’s work on the Parastenocarididae (Copepoda), Serban’s work on the Bathynellidae (Bathynellacea, Syncarida) and Schminke’s revision of the Parabathynellidae (Bathynellacea, Syncarida). It is pointed out that three different approaches have been adopted in each of the three cases and advantages and shortcomings of each of them are analysed. Finally descriptions are given of two new genera of Parabathynellidae, Afrobathynella gen. n. and Nunubathynella gen. n., from a locality near Port Elisabeth (South Africa).


La Léthargie Chez Les Chiroptères Cavernicoles D'Afrique Centrale, Michel Anciaux De Faveaux Jan 1976

La Léthargie Chez Les Chiroptères Cavernicoles D'Afrique Centrale, Michel Anciaux De Faveaux

International Journal of Speleology

From his personal research undertaken in the subterranean field (natural and artificial cavities) in Shaba (ex-Katanga, in S.E. Zaire) and Rwanda, the author briefly defines the macroclimate of the prospected regions as well as the microclimate of the subterranean habitat (humidity and temperature). A reversible hypothermia has been noticed in the dry season only (from May till August) in eleven species of troglophile Chiroptera belonging to the following families: Rhinolophidae (7 species of Rhinolophus), Hipposideridae (only Hipposideros ruber) and Vespertilionidae (Miniopterus inflatus rufus, Miniopterus schreibersi arenarius & M.s. natalensis, Myotis tricolor). No sign of lethargy has …


The Effect Of Cave Entrances On The Distribution Of Cave-Inhabiting Terrestrial Arthropods, Stewart B. Peck Jan 1976

The Effect Of Cave Entrances On The Distribution Of Cave-Inhabiting Terrestrial Arthropods, Stewart B. Peck

International Journal of Speleology

Populations of cave invertebrates are generally considered to be food-limited. The cave entrance is a major source of food input into the community in the form of decaying organic matter. Thus, the densities of scavenging terrestrial cave invertebrates should be related to the distance from the cave entrance because this represents a measure of food abundance. A test showed this expectation to be true in Crossings Cave, Alabama. A population density peak occurred 10 m inside the cave where the dark zone and detritus infall regions meet. The greatest population peak occurred at 100 m where densities of crickets and …
