Subterranean environments contribute to three‐quarters of classified ecosystem services

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Beneath the Earth's surface lies a network of interconnected caves, voids, and systems of fissures forming in rocks of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic origin. Although largely inaccessible to humans, this hidden realm supports and regulates services critical to ecological health and human well‐being.

Role of hypogenesis in the evolution of karst in the Taurus Mountains Range, Turkey

International Journal of Speleology
Field observations and laboratory data collected from the Taurus Mountains Range, Turkey during the last two decades provided evidence for the link between the evolution of hypogene karst and the geodynamic history.

Prioritizing bat roosts for conservation with a global multicriteria bat roost priority index based on community science

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Prioritization in conservation is crucial for the development of efficient and effective decision‐making policies. For many decades, the importance of some species and their habitats has been assessed and applied in conservation legislation, but bats and their diurnal roosts have ofbeen overlooked.

Appropriate terminology for karst-like phenomena: the problem with ‘pseudokarst’ [PDF]

, 2013
The practice of referring to certain morphologically karst-like phenomena as ‘pseudokarst’ is problematic, because it ignores basic principles of sound classification, logical naming conventions and accepted geomorphic classifications and terminology ...

Hypogene speleogenesis in carbonates by cooling hydrothermal flow: The case of Mt. Berenike caves, Israel

International Journal of Speleology
The Berenike hypogenic cave system near Lake Kinneret, Israel, provides a valuable case study for investigating the recently proposed Confined-Cooling-Flow (CCF) speleogenesis model. Field and speleological surveys, along with existing research, are used

Representation of obligate groundwater‐dwelling copepod diversity in European protected areas

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Groundwaters sustain diverse surface ecosystems and are populated by metazoan species, mostly invertebrates, that provide fundamental ecological functions and are often of prominent conservation value due to narrow endemism and high phylogenetic rarity.

Epigene and Hypogene Karst Manifestations of the Castile Formation: Eddy County, New Mexico and Culberson County, Texas, USA [PDF]

, 2008
Permian evaporites of the Castile Formation crop out over ~1,800 km2 in the western Delaware Basin (Eddy County, New Mexico and Culberson County, Texas, USA) with abundant and diverse karst manifestations. Epigene karst occurs as well-developed karren on

Limited contribution by non‐volant small mammals to regeneration in ironstone rocky outcrops

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Animal‐mediated seed dispersal contributes substantially to natural regeneration in degraded areas. However, the role of seed dispersal by non‐volant small mammals (NVSM), mainly marsupials and rodents, in contributing to regeneration remains underexplored, especially in mountaintop, open‐canopy ecosystems.

The metallicity gradients of star-forming regions store information of the assembly history of galaxies [PDF]

Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
The variations in metallicity and spatial patterns within star-forming regions of galaxies result from diverse physical processes unfolding throughout their evolutionary history, with a particular emphasis on recent events.
