Life on the edge: ecological and behavioral insights on stygobiont shrimp activity in ecotonal habitats

Nevertheless, some such stygobionts occur in springs, transitional zones that expose them to different selective pressures. Understanding their presence in these habitats provides insight into their ecological flexibility and potential for adaptation.
