Stratigraphy and tectonics of a tectonic window in the Magura Nappe (Świątkowa Wielka, Polish Outer Carpathians)The Świątkowa Wielka Tectonic Window belongs to the Grybów Nappe of the Fore-Magura Group of units. This tectonic window is located in the marginal part of the Magura Nappe and is composed of Oligocene — Sub-Grybów Beds as well as the Grybów Marl Formation. These beds have been correlated with the Oligocene deposits of other tectonic windows of the Grybów Nappe in Poland. Our research reveals that the Krosno beds' shally facies, which occur at the western termination of the Świątkowa Wielka Tectonic Window, belong to the Dukla succession. On the basis of calcareous nannoplankton analysis, the Grybów Marl Formation as well as the Krosno Beds belong to the NP23-NP24, and NP24 Zones, respectively. The structure of the Świątkowa Wielka Tectonic Window reveals a multistage evolution of the Magura Nappe overthrust onto their foreland.

Latest Maastrichtian foraminiferal assemblages from the Husów region (Skole Nappe, Outer Carpathians, Poland) The Ropianka Formation (also known as the Inoceramian Beds) in the marginal part of the Skole Nappe (Husów region, the Gaj section) contains abundant, diverse and well preserved assemblages of Maastrichtian planktonic and benthic foraminiferids, assigned to the middle-upper part of the Gansserina gansseri Zone and to the Abathomphalus mayaroensis Zone. The composition of the assemblages indicates fluctuations of organic matter flux to the marginal part of the Skole Basin floor in the studied interval. The studied taxa are typical of the "transitional zone" between the Tethyan and the Boreal domains. The disappearance of planktonic foraminifers in the uppermost part of the section and appearance of some agglutinated taxa (Rzehakina fissistomata; abundant Conglophragmium irregularis and Glomospira charoides) points to a Paleocene age.

Abstract The reactions of foraminiferal and calcareous nannoplankton assemblages to global warming and cooling events in the time intervals of ca. 27 to 19 Ma and 13.5 to 15 Ma (Oligocene and Miocene) were studied in subtropical epicontinental seas influenced by local tectonic and palaeogeographic events (the Central Paratethys). Regardless of these local events, global climatic processes significantly influenced the palaeoenvironment within the marine basin. Warm intervals are characterized by a stable, humid climate and a high-nutrient regime, due primarily to increased continental input of phytodetritus and also locally due to seasonal upwelling. Coarse clastics deposited in a hyposaline environment characterize the marginal part of the basin. Aridification events causing decreased riverine input and consequent nutrient decreases, characterized cold intervals. Apparent seasonality, as well as catastrophic climatic events, induced stress conditions and the expansion of opportunistic taxa. Carbonate production and hypersaline facies characterize the marginal part of the basins. Hypersaline surface water triggered downwelling circulation and mixing of water masses. Decreased abundance or extinction of K-specialists during each cold interval accelerated their speciation in the subsequent warm interval. Local tectonic events led to discordances between local and global sea-level changes (tectonically triggered uplift or subsidence) or to local salt formation (in the rain shadows of newly-created mountains).

Abstract Calcareous nannofossils found in the Cergowa beds of the Dukla and Fore-Dukla tectonic units in the Outer Carpathians indicate a time of deposition in the range of the NP23–NP24 nannoplankton zones of the Lower Oligocene. Nannoplankton assemblages reflect the paleoecological changes at the Eocene–Oligocene transition from: (i) a greenhouse to an icehouse climate; (ii) brackish to normal salinity suggesting open sea conditions, which were controlled by the Paratethys Basin closure followed by opening and connection with the Tethyan Ocean. The absence of nannofossils of NP25 zone, but their presence in the tectonic windows between 40 and 80 km to the west, shows that deposition of the Cergowa beds in the western part of the basin lasted longer than in the east. Occurrences of nannofossils indicating zones NP16 and NP21, found in the uppermost mudstone-rich parts of studied sections, may prove the remobilization and redeposition of sediments of this stratigraphic age. Potentially, eroded material could be derived from some of the following lithostratigraphic units: NP16 — the Hieroglyphic beds, Przybyszów sandstones and Upper variegated shales; NP21 — the Globigerina marls, Mszanka sandstones and sub-Chert marls and shales and/or fine-grained equivalent of these units. Reworked specimens derived from the older Mesozoic strata occur occasionally in various samples.

Bats hibernating in underground shelters of Małe Pieniny mountains (the Carpathian Mountains, Southern Poland) Six bat species were observed during winter censuses in years 2005-2009: Lesser horseshoe bat, Mouse-eared bat, Daubenton's bat, Whiskered/Brandt's bat, Northern bat and Brown long-eared bat. Rhinolophus hipposideros was most numerous (67% of all bats recorded). Largest hibernaculum on Polish side of range was mine Bania w Jarmucie, with maximum 29 bats during a single control, through the years of research number of species and individuals was increasing. Rarely seen in Outer Carpathians Eptesicus nilssonii winter roost was found in Homole Ravine Reserve.
