The endemic gastropod fauna of Lake Titicaca : correlation between molecular evolution and hydrographic history [PDF]
, 2012 Lake Titicaca, situated in the Altiplano high plateau, is the only ancient lake in South America. This 2- to 3-My-old (where My is million years) water body has had a complex history that included at least five major hydrological phases during the ...

Unsuspected diversity of Niphargus amphipods in the chemoautotrophic cave ecosystem of Frasassi, central Italy [PDF]
, 2010 The sulfide-rich Frasassi caves in central Italy contain a rare example of a freshwater ecosystem supported entirely by chemoautotrophy. Niphargus ictus, the sole amphipod species previously reported from this locality, was recently shown to host the ...

Productivity-Diversity Relationships from Chemolithoautotrophically Based Sulfidic Karst Systems [PDF]
International Journal of Speleology, 2009 Although ecosystems thriving in the absence of photosynthetic processes are no longer considered unique phenomena, we haveyet to understand how these ecosystems are energetically sustained via chemosynthesis.
