Speleotourism in Slovenia: balancing between mass tourism and geoheritage protection
Open Geosciences, 2018 Slovenia is considered as the cradle of karst geotourism as cave tourism started there as early as the Middle Ages. To date more than 12,000 caves were discovered from which 22 have the status of tourist caves.

Environmental Drivers of Temperate Bat Species Richness and Abundance: The Role of Hibernacula
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Explaining the phenomenon of high biodiversity of biota remains one of the most significant challenges in the natural sciences, especially when it concerns long‐lived, highly mobile and cryptic taxa. Underground hibernation sites, where temperate bats congregate in winter, are key biodiversity hotspots that are systematically monitored in ...

The world’s deepest subterranean community - Krubera-Voronja Cave (Western Caucasus) [PDF]
, 2012 Subsurface biota extends over a wide variety of habitats that can be spatially interconnected. The largest communities of this subsurface biota inhabit cavities and are well known mainly in caves where biologists are able to have access.

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 441-451, March 2026.Cave environments filter plant traits, selecting thinner, smaller leaves with reduced photosynthetic and vascular structures. Abstract Caves present unique ecological conditions that influence the distribution and adaptation of species, yet studies on cave‐associated vegetation remain limited.

New data on the biodiversity and distributional pattern of Coleoptera in the Carpathian landscape
Travaux de l'Institut de Speologie Emile Racovitza, 2018 The faunal diversity and distributional pattern of species of Coleoptera in the Carpathians is fragmentarily and disproportionally known, the Buzau Mountains being one of the very poorly investigated geographic area, from coleopterological point of ...

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 ...

Invertebrate communities from the mesovoid shallow substratum of the Carpatho-Euxinic area
Travaux de l'Institut de Speologie Emile Racovitza, 2010 Between 1998 and 2008, the authors analyzed from a faunistic and zoogeographic point of view, 5 sites with different types of mesovoid shallow subtratum (MSS) from the karst areas of Dobrogea and the Carpathians.
