At the confluence of vicariance and dispersal: Phylogeography of cavernicolous springtails (Collembola: Arrhopalitidae, Tomoceridae) codistributed across a geologically complex karst landscape in Illinois and Missouri. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2018 We assess the evolutionary history of two ecologically distinct groups of terrestrial cave‐dwelling springtails (Collembola) in the genera Pygmarrhopalites (Arrhopalitidae) and Pogonognathellus (Tomoceridae) that are codistributed in caves throughout the Salem Plateau—a once continuous karst region, now bisected by the Mississippi River Valley in ...

Dominant bacterial phyla in caves and their predicted functional roles in C and N cycle [PDF]
BMC Microbiology, 2017 Background Bacteria present in cave often survive by modifying their metabolic pathway or other mechanism. Understanding these adopted bacteria and their survival strategy inside the cave is an important aspect of microbial ecology. Present study focuses

The world’s deepest subterranean community - Krubera-Voronja Cave (Western Caucasus) [PDF]
International Journal of Speleology, 2012 Subsurface biota extends over a wide variety of habitats that can be spatially interconnected. The largest communities of this subsurface biota inhabit cavities and are well known mainly in caves where biologists are able to have access.
