Alveolates (dinoflagellates, ciliates and apicomplexans) and Rhizarians are the most common microbial eukaryotes in temperate Appalachian karst caves. [PDF]
Summary The purpose of this study was to survey the eukaryotic microbiome of two karst caves in the Valley and Ridge physiographic region of the Appalachian Mountains. Caves are known to harbour eukaryotic microbes but their very low densities and small cell size make them difficult to collect and identify.

Standing genetic variation as a potential mechanism of novel cave phenotype evolution in the freshwater isopod, Asellus aquaticus. [PDF]
An orange eye phenotype, hidden within cave populations (masked by absence of pigment), was uncovered through crossing cave populations with surface populations. A similar orange eye phenotype can be found within surface populations suggesting that orange alleles within the cave populations originated from standing variation in the founding surface ...
