Can we agree on an ecological classification of subterranean animals?

That the ties between any obligate subterranean species and the hypogean environment depend on the interplay of a species' own physiological characteristics and all of the ecological characteristics of the adjacent epigean habitat(s), including biotic factors, has been emphasized. The reasons why troglomorphy cannot be included within criteria for classifying cave dwellers have been demonstrated. After a review of historic classifications, standardized definitions of the most widely used terms are proposed. The most easily recognized are four categories which are terminological approximations of the classic Schiner‐Racovitza terminology: (1) troglobiont is a species or population, strictly bound to a hypogean habitat; (2) eutroglophile is an essentially epigean species, but able to maintain a permanent subterranean population; (3) subtroglophile is inclined perpetually or temporarily to inhabit a subterranean habitat but is bound to the surface for some biological functions (e.g. feeding); (4) trogloxene is a species only occurring sporadically underground.     

The freshwater shrimps of the genera Caridina and Parisia from karst caves of Sulawesi Selatan,Indonesia, with descriptions of three new species (Crustacea: Decapoda: Caridea: Atyidae)

The present study reports on collections of hypogean freshwater atyid shrimps of the genera Caridina Milne Edwards, 1837 Milne Edwards, H. 1837. Histoire naturalle des Crustacés, Comprenant l'Anatomie, la Physiologie et la Classification de ces Animaux, Vol. 2, 1–532. Paris (France): Libraire Encyclopedique de Roret.  [Google Scholar], and Parisia Holthuis, 1956 Holthuis, L. B. 1956. The troglobic Atyidae of Madagascar (Crudtacea, Decapoda, Natantia), Mem Inst Sci Madagascar ser.. A., 11: 97–110.  [Google Scholar], obtained from the karst caves and associated epigean waters of Sulawesi, Indonesia. Six species of Caridina were present, of which two are new to science and one is new to Sulawesi, as well as one new species of Parisia. Types of Caridina pareparensis De Man, 1892 De Man, J. G. 1892. Decapoden des Indischen Archipels.. Zool Ergebn Reise Niederland Ost‐Ind., 2: 265–527. pl. 15–29 [Google Scholar], and C. pareparensis parvidentata Roux, 1904 Roux, J. 1904. Décapodes d'eau douce de Cèlébes (Genres Caridina et Potamon).. Rev Suisse Zool., 12(3): 539–572. pl. 9 [Google Scholar], were re‐examined and redescribed; lectotypes for both taxa are designated. Caridina pareparensis parvidentata is here regarded as a distinct species. The new taxa are described, figured and compared with congeners.     

New montane,subterranean congeners of a littoral millipede,genus Thalassisobates (Diplopoda: Julida: Nemasomatidae)

Two new species are described in the hitherto monotypic genus Thalassisobates Vehoeff, 1908: T. emesesensis sp. nov. from the mesovoid shallow stratum of La Gomera (Canary Islands), and T. almeriensis sp. nov. from a cave in Almería, southern continental Spain. Notes on the morphology and distribution of T. littoralis (Silvestri, 1903 Silvestri, F. 1903. “Isobates littoralis Silvestri n.sp. (in litt.). – Fasc. XCIX, N.9”. In Berlese, A.: Acari Myriopoda et Scorpiones hucusque in Italie reperta  [Google Scholar]) are given, and the monophyly and relationships of Thalassisobates are discussed. Other examples of arthropod genera with a similar habitat duality: marine littoral on one side, and subterranean montane on the other, are given. http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:6455CE47-E9DB-4A9D-8074-D0D87A7816C2     

洞穴高原鳅属一新种记述

描记在云南省泸西县阿庐古洞地河中采到的高原鳅属一新种,以采集地命名为阿庐高原鳅,新种与云南高原鳅相近但有下列特征可明显区别：①新种前段略平扁,体长为体高的１０．６倍;②尾较细,体长为尾柄高约１４．８倍;③眼小,趋近于盲眼,头长为眼径的１８０．０倍;④鼻瓣发育成鼻须状;⑤尾叉形;⑥体表裸露无鳞无斑。     

深圳湾潮间带湿地沉积物的重金属分布特征

对深圳湾潮间带湿地的9个采样点采集的沉积物样品进行了分析,测定了沉积物的粒径分布、重金属(Cu,Zn,Cr,Pb,Ni)的总量和生物有效态含量．分析了深圳湾湿地沉积物重金属含量的时空变化以及重金属不同形态之间的关系,从生物有效态含量在总量中占有的比例说明了深圳湾重金属污染比较严重,对重金属生物有效态的测定方法进行了简化．对各采样点的重金属积累量与底栖动物群落之间可能存在的关系进行了讨论．

\"避振穴\"的减振效能

“避振穴”对高速艇良好的减振效果已通过两艘实艇实验得到证实。文中介绍第二艘实艇装设“避振穴”后的减振效果,在装设“避振穴”前后经过测试,证明“避振穴”的减振效果显著,且对艇速没有影响。为了提高“避振穴”所用橡胶板的强度和耐用性,研制了专用橡胶材料,在第二艘试验艇上应用效果良好。     

重庆秀山县岩溶地区公路边坡溶洞治理方案

岩溶地区公路边坡具有地面坡度陡峭,基岩破碎程度高,坡积及残坡积层分布复杂,地下水活跃以及边坡治理施工条件困难等特点。其加固处理不但要考虑溶洞本身的受力情况,更需要考虑边坡的整体稳定性。通过对重庆秀山县岩溶地区边坡中出现的垂直于滑坡面的溶洞受力分析,从边坡的整体稳定性出发,研究岩溶地区公路边坡坍塌的应急加固治理方案。

水合物沉积物试验岩样制备及力学性质研究

水合物沉积物现场取心及原位力学试验技术难度大、成本高,室内制备岩样是目前对其力学性质研究的主要手段。采用三轴压力室内直接合成和混合制样两种方法,分别以覆膜砂和膨润土为基质试验制备水合物沉积物岩样,并进行三轴压缩力学试验。结果表明:尽管沉积物中水合物对基质骨架颗粒存在一定胶结作用,但水合物沉积物的力学性质仍主要由基质的性质决定,覆膜砂基质水合物沉积物的力学性质明显好于膨润土沉积物;水合物沉积物的强度及弹性模量随着围压的增加而增加,但泊松比与围压无明显相关性。
