Biology and ecology of a deep cave nesting spider wasp, Ageniella evansi Townes, (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae), in Arizona

Journal of Natural History
Cavernicolous populations of the spider wasp Ageniella evansi Townes, 1957 (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae) nest deep within limestone caves at Colossal Cave Mountain Park near Tucson, Arizona, USA. These remarkable populations are the only truly cavernicolous pompilid wasps currently known.

Collaborative conservation of cave-roosting bats: guidance on managing rock climbing near caves

Frontiers in Conservation Science
Bats in North America have undergone unprecedented declines from various threats, including energy development, habitat loss, and disease. Mitigating these threats requires targeted conservation measures that address bat habitat and roosting requirements.

The first emerging records of a dragonfly in the dark zone of subterranean ecosystems: Exuviae and newly emerged adults of Hyrcanian Goldenring, Cordulegaster vanbrinkae in Danial Cave, northern Iran

Ecology and Evolution
Riverine caves are special habitats that are home to many aquatic and terrestrial species. Some Odonata species and their emerging are recorded at the entrance and in the twilight zones of subterranean habitats around the world. However, the emergence of

maintenance of standing genetic variability. Muller and Fisher both argued that the advantage lies in the capacity to put together favorable mutants that arise in different individuals (see Felsenstein, 1974, for an insightful discussion). The unique feature of Mendelian segregation and recombination, especially with polygenic inheritance, is to permit

A Case for Below-Ground Dispersal? Insights into the Biology, Ecology and Conservation of Blind Cave Spiders in the Genus Troglodiplura (Mygalomorphae: Anamidae)

Insects, 2023
Simple Summary Blind cave spiders of the genus Troglodiplura are large, enigmatic spiders, which show a number of adaptations to an underground existence, including elongated limbs and a complete lack of eyes. They are known only from the Nullarbor Plain,

Contrasting Approaches to the Study of Subterranean Life: Biospeleology and Speleobiology

Acta Carsologica, 2023
The study of subterranean life in general and cave life in particular has been given several names, most especially biospeleology and speleobiology. Historically, biospeleology came first, and signalled that biological study was part of speleology, the ...

Longevity in Cave Animals

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
An extraordinary longevity has been observed in some cave species, and this raised the hypothesis that a longer lifespan may be considered one of the characteristic traits of these animals. However, only a few cave species have been studied thus far, and
