A needle in a haystack: A new metabarcoding approach to survey diversity at the species level of Arcellinida (Amoebozoa: Tubulinea)

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 23, Issue 5, Page 1034-1049, July 2023., 2023
Abstract Environmental DNA‐based diversity studies have increased in popularity with the development of high throughput sequencing technologies. This permits the potential simultaneous retrieval of vast amounts of molecular data from many different organisms and species, thus contributing to a wide range of biological disciplines.

Physiological characterization of Typhlatya cave shrimps: linking habitat with aerobic metabolism

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
The anchialine environment is characterized by a vertical stratification of water masses with different salinities. Cave shrimps of the genus Typhlatya are widespread inhabitants of the aquifer in fresh, brackish, and marine groundwater. Here we describe

Aliens in caves: the global dimension of biological invasions in subterranean ecosystems

Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 3, Page 849-867, June 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT Alien species are a significant threat to natural ecosystems and human economies. Despite global efforts to address this challenge, the documented number of alien species is rapidly increasing worldwide. However, the magnitude of the impact of alien species may vary significantly across habitats.

Groundwater Salinity and Particulate Organic Carbon Flux Control Benthic Habitats in Anchialine Environments on Millennial Timescales

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
The environmental conditions and habitats in Bermudian underwater caves have responded to vertical aquifer migration and groundwater salinity changes associated with sea-level rise since the last glacial maximum.

Amphipods in Mediterranean Marine and Anchialine Caves: New Data and Overview of Existing Knowledge

Diversity, 2023
Marine and anchialine caves host specialized faunal communities with a variable degree of endemism and functional specialization. However, biodiversity assessments on this habitat are scarce, particularly in relation to small-sized cryptic fauna (such as

A New Species of Pseudocyclopiidae (Crustacea, Copepoda, Calanoida) From an Anchialine Environment of South-Eastern Italy

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
A new species of stygobiont copepod (Stygocyclopia badinoi sp.nov.) is described from the anchialine environment of Zinzulùsa cave (Castro, Italy). It is the first Pseudocyclopiidae (Copepoda, Calanoida) to be reported from Italian fauna and the second ...

Exploring the Evolution and Biogeographic Distribution of Anchialine Fauna [PDF]

, 2022
Anchialine habitats are found within underwater subterranean coastal cave systems and contain a vast array of stygobitic taxa. Due to the inherent difficulties of accessing underwater cave systems, the evolutionary history of many anchialine taxa is not ...

The trophic role of cave shrimps of the genus Typhlatya seen through stable isotope eyes [PDF]

Subterranean Biology
With the aim of describing the isotopic niche of the anchialine shrimps of the genus Typhlatya from the Yucatan Peninsula (YP) we analyze a dataset that includes three of the four species present in the region using published and new δ13C and δ15N values.

Using bioenergetic models to estimate environmental conditions in anchialine caves [PDF]

, 2012
Ways of deducing information on physicochemical characteristics of anchialine caves from measurements of sedentary biota are investigated. First, photographs of Ficopomatus enigmaticus from two different anchialine caves are used to draw qualitative ...

First record of Ophioderma ensiferum (Echinodermata: Ophiuroidea) from the southeastern continental shelf of the Gulf of Mexico and from an anchialine cave

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2013
Two specimens of Ophioderma ensiferum Hendler and Miller, 1984 were collected at 2 different localitiesin the Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico. The first one collected at Alacranes Reef, Yucatán, a transition zone between theGulf of Mexico and the Caribbean ...
