Groundwater invertebrates and droughts: resistance in stygobiont isopods and planarians
ARPHA Conference Abstracts, 2022 In surface freshwater habitats water level can be strongly variable and benthic invertebrates are usually adapted to cope with hydrological variability. Groundwater habitats are usually more stable, even if in sites at the interface with the vadose zone, in epikarst streams and dripping pools hydroperiod may vary.
