Hidden Waters, Unique Communities: Subterranean Zooplankton Beta Diversity in the Caatinga Drylands

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Subterranean waters are important but understudied biodiversity reservoirs, particularly in the semi‐arid Caatinga biome. We quantified the biological uniqueness of zooplankton communities in these groundwater‐dependent systems and investigated how environmental conditions shape beta diversity.
