Diversity, 2021 The Edwards Aquifer and related Edwards-Trinity Aquifer of Central Texas, USA, is a global hotspot of stygobiont biodiversity. We summarize 125 years of biological investigation at the San Marcos Artesian Well (SMAW), the best studied and most biodiverse

The Stygobiont Amphipoda of Jamaica [PDF]
Bijdragen tot de Dierkunde, 1983 Of sixty-one stygofauna samples from Jamaica, seven contained hypogean Amphipoda. These seven samples yielded four species (three new) of the genus Metaniphargus. No other genera were encountered. Descriptive notes on these four species are provided. The cladistics of Metaniphargus and allied genera are briefly discussed.

Activity of stygobionts in spring habitats: behavioral, ecological and evolutionary insights
ARPHA Conference Abstracts, 2022 Cave-dwelling animals might be regarded as dead-end points when it comes to their evolution and habitat exploitation. However, in the past different observations of the olms’ typical troglomorphic populations have been reported for springs of Venetia Giulia, along with a community rich in stygobionts (Bressi et al. 1999; Stoch 2017).

Substygophily in Dinaric Karst: A Model Case of Locally Endemic Minnows Phoxinellus (Leuciscinae). [PDF]
Ecol EvolPhoxinellus minnows have adapted to the highly variable water conditions of karst poljes, ranging from floods to draughts within shorter (seasonal, annual) and longer (decadal) periods. In this study, based on the analysis of their morphological characters and their presence (or absence) in caves, they were classified more precisely, with P. dalmaticus

Diversity, 2021 The lava tubes at Undara became internationally recognised in the late 1980s, when 24 species of terrestrial cave-adapted invertebrates (troglobionts) were recorded from Bayliss Cave, making it one of the 20 richest known cave communities in the world at

Morphological and Molecular Analyses of Closely Related Species In the Stygobiontic Genus Niphargus (Amphipoda) [PDF]
Journal of Crustacean Biology, 2011 The present study investigates morphologically similar species in the amphipod genus Niphargus, with special emphasis on three presumably closely-related species: N. fontanus, N. aquilex, and N. schellenbergi. The distribution ranges of these species overlap in Central Europe, and ambiguity of the current diagnostic characters has likely resulted in ...

First record of subterranean freshwater gastropods (Mollusca, Gastropoda, Cochliopidae) from the cenotes of Yucatán state [PDF]
Subterranean Biology, 2019 The biospeleological investigations of several cenotes in the eastern region of Yucatán state, Mexico, during January 2018 yielded, among other invertebrates, two new truncatelloid gastropod species described herein as Mexicenotica xochii gen. n.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 A new species of stygobiont copepod (Stygocyclopia badinoi sp.nov.) is described from the anchialine environment of Zinzulùsa cave (Castro, Italy). It is the first Pseudocyclopiidae (Copepoda, Calanoida) to be reported from Italian fauna and the second ...

A new extremophile species of Pseudocandona (Crustacea, Ostracoda) from a sulfidic cave in Albania [PDF]
Subterranean BiologySubterranean ecosystems host highly specialized and often endemic crustacean faunas, yet ostracods inhabiting chemically extreme sulfidic caves remain poorly documented. In this study, a new stygobiont species of the genus Pseudocandona is described from

Calabozoidea, A New Suborder of Stygobiont Isopoda, Discovered in Venezuela [PDF]
Bijdragen tot de Dierkunde, 1983 A new type of stygobiont Isopoda has been collected from wells in the “Ilanos” of Venezuela, near Calabozo, and in the hyporheal of a river in the Aragua State. On account of its body segmentation, and structure of uropods and pleopods, it must be considered as representing a new suborder.
