Moving in the Dark: Enlightening the Spatial Population Ecology of European Cave Salamanders

Population Ecology, Volume 68, Issue 1, January 2026.
We assessed individual interactions, movement ecology and activity patterns of a subterranean population of Speleomantes strinatii, applying spatial capture–recapture modeling to a photographic dataset of 104 individuals. ABSTRACT Space use and movement are fundamental aspects of organisms' ecology, mirroring individual fitness, behavior, and life ...

Rich and diverse subterranean invertebrate communities inhabiting Melissotrypa Cave in Central Greece

Travaux de l'Institut de Speologie Emile Racovitza, 2019
Located in central Greece, Melissotrypa Cave is a hypogenic cave that contains a sulfidic lake. Biological investigations in this cave led to the discovery of several endemic troglobitic invertebrates, some of which occur in high densities of up to 200 ...

Does the Cave Environment Limit Functional Diversity? Rethinking Patterns in Oniscidea Assemblages From a Neotropical Karst

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 1, January 2026.
Cave habitats strongly filter functional traits, constraining the diversity of terrestrial isopod communities along the epigean–hypogean gradient. Functional turnover decreases while richness differences increase in hypogean systems, reflecting uneven occupation of trait space rather than simple trait replacement.

Citizens Turning Into Scientists: A Calling to Boost the Knowledge of the Public to Address the Environmental Crisis in the Brazilian Semiarid 从公众到科学家:助力提升公众知识以应对巴西半干旱地区环境危机

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 546-554, December 2025.
Desertification is increasing in the Brazilian Semiarid, leading to loss of species and ecosystem services, while precise data on biodiversity distribution and trends are lacking. Public engagement in scientific projects can improve ecosystem protection.
