Ecology Summary - Trichomycterus sketi

Langue:

Réf. Princ.	Castellanos-Morales, C.A., 2010
Remarques	The collection site (Cueva del Indio) is located 7 km south of the municipio La Paz on the east side of Serranía de los Yariguíes at 2200 meters above sea level in departamento de Santander, Colombia. The entrance to the cave is not connected to an epigean stream and covered by cloud forest and some swampy bottomland. The cave is fed by water jets which percolate through the ceiling near the entrance and flow inwards. Among its 860+ m of explored passages are found many galleries formed by gently sloped tunnels and passageways. During the dry season, isolated sump pools in each gallery were observed. The bottom of the wells is rocky and contains much sediment composed chiefly of bat excrement. Aside from bats, the cave is inhabited by crickets and gastropods and some cydnid bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) and Diptera were found inside the wells. Water temperature during sampling was 15 °C, cave temperature was 17.5 °C (Ref. 87778).
