Found after 60 years: the hows and whys of Sphaeromides virei montenigrina (Crustacea: Isopoda: Cirolanidae) rediscovery in Obodska pećina, Montenegro

Natura Sloveniae, 2015
Despite being the biggest isopod crustacean in Dinarides, little is known about the genus Sphaeromides and its taxonomical status. Sphaeromides virei montenigrina, one of the three subspecies, has been known only thanks to a female specimen found and ...

Stygobiont Amphipod Crustaceans of the Hadzioid Group from Haiti [PDF]

Bijdragen tot de Dierkunde, 1985
The stygobiont gammarids of Haiti are more diversified than anywhere else in the world: not less than 13 species (all new) in 7 genera (5 new) and 4 subgenera (all new) are described of a somewhat loosely delimited group called the hadzioids/weckelioids.

Bat Migration Intensifies Cave Fish Richness Loss Under Climate Change in China

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Cave fish, the largest aquatic vertebrates in karst ecosystems, rely heavily on bat guano as a nutrient source. However, ongoing environmental change is degrading cave habitats and altering bat distributions. This study aims to assess how climate‐driven bat migration affects cave fish distributions in China, providing insights for ...

Evolutionary Isolation and Ecological Stasis in the Endangered Comal Springs Dryopid Beetle (Stygoparnus comalensis)

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 35, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The Comal Springs dryopid beetle (Stygoparnus comalensis) (Coleoptera: Dryopidae) is an endangered, subterranean‐obligate, long‐toed water beetle known only from three spring complexes in the Edwards Aquifer region of Texas. Due to their small size and reliance on groundwater karst habitats, little is known of the biology of these beetles. The

Far From Roads, Challenges Arise: Unravelling Knowledge Gaps in the Occurrence of Cave‐Restricted Species on the African Continent

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Understanding patterns of biodiversity distribution is fundamental for ecology, biogeography, and conservation. However, persistent challenges arise from the inaccessibility of many regions and habitats. Subterranean environments, in particular, host highly distinctive and specialised faunal assemblages, yet their investigation is hindered by ...

An Upper Cretaceous arthropod assemblage from Villaggio del Pescatore (Campanian, Italy) and its implications for peri‐Tethyan palaeobiogeography and palaeoecology

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 11, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
Abstract The Villaggio del Pescatore (VdP) fossil Lagerstätte represents the most significant Upper Cretaceous (lower–middle Campanian) palaeontological locality in Italy and the Mediterranean region. We present the first systematic revision of the VdP fossil assemblage with a focus on its previously undescribed arthropod fauna, providing new insights ...
