Iodine and nutrient speciation in anchialine cave waters (Bjejajka Cave, East Adriatic Coast)
In oxic seawater dissolved iodine is principally consisted of iodate and iodide, at a total concentration of ~450 nM. Although iodate is thermodynamically favoured form of inorganic iodine, iodide concentrations may be high, as is the case in surface waters of temperate shelf seas.

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

Screening of NaCl salinity sensitivity across eight species of subterranean amphipod genus Niphargus
Secondary salinization of freshwater is becoming a growing environmental problem. Currently, there is few data available on the effects of salinisation on subterranean crustaceans that are vital for the maintenance of groundwater ecosystem functioning ...

Preventing Invasive Non‐Native Species: A Horizon Scanning for the Canary Islands
ABSTRACT Aim Oceanic islands host exceptional biodiversity and endemism but are highly vulnerable to biological invasions. We aimed to identify non‐native species with high potential to invade the Canary Islands within the next decade and to prioritise them based on their environmental and socioeconomic risks.

Abstract Ecologists and zoologists have worked for centuries to understand the spreading, extent, and regulation of biological rhythms among eukaryotes living in arhythmic ecosystems. Investigating whether the long‐standing hypothesis that biological clocks went lost in species inhabiting arhythmic environments can thus have broad implications in ...

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