Are haloclines distributional barriers in anchialine ecosystems? Physiological response of cave shrimps to salinity. [PDF]
PLoS OneAnchialine systems are coastal groundwater habitats around the world which host a unique community of cave adapted species (stygobionts). Such communities are expected to be separated by haloclines into either fresh or saline groundwater communities, hence climate changes (e.g., eustatic sea level shifts) and anthropic driven changes (e.g ...

Using bioenergetic models to estimate environmental conditions in anchialine caves [PDF]
Natura Croatica : Periodicum Musei Historiae Naturalis Croatici, 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 conclusions on water circulation patterns and organic loads of the two caves.

Forty-year natural history study of Bahalana geracei Carpenter, 1981, an anchialine cave-dwelling isopod (Crustacea, Isopoda, Cirolanidae) from San Salvador Island, Bahamas: reproduction, growth, longevity, and population structure [PDF]
Subterranean Biology, 2021 Almost nothing has been reported on the natural history of any of the world’s 92 species of cave cirolanids, including those from saltwater caves (anchialine).

ON THE ORIGIN OF MISOPHRIOID COPEPODS FROM ANCHIALINE CAVES [PDF]
Crustaceana, 1999 AbstractPhylogenetic relationships between the known genera of the order Misophrioida permit the identification of two lineages: one consisting of the family Misophriidae Brady, 1878 which comprises seven genera, and a new, monotypic family, the Palpophriidae Boxshall & Jaume, 1999; the other consisting of another new family, the Speleophriidae ...

Rapid detection of subterranean fauna from passive sampling of groundwater eDNA
Environmental DNA, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page 1706-1719, November 2023., 2023 Groundwater is an essential source of freshwater that supports surface ecosystems as well as organisms adapted to living underground. In this study we compared groundwater environmental DNA collected from active pump filtered water samples (AFGW), membranes submerged in water, and samples of morphologically identified animals collected at the same ...
