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 ...

Literature survey, bibliographic analysis and a taxonomic catalogue of subterranean fauna from Portugal

Subterranean Biology, 2013
A bibliographic analysis of the hypogean biological studies in Portugal is made, compiling 138 publications related to the subterranean invertebrate fauna, since its begining in 1870 until November 2012.A catalogue of hypogean endemic taxa is provided ...

Subterranean Waters of Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico Reveal Epigean Species Dominance and Intraspecific Variability in Freshwater Ostracodes (Crustacea: Ostracoda)

Diversity, 2021
The Yucatán Peninsula is a karstic region, rich in subterranean environments with a diverse crustacean stygobiont fauna. In order to gain insights into the biological evolution of the subterranean environments of this region, we evaluated the ostracode ...

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 ...

The Importance of Karstic Aquifers for the Past and Future Survival of Groundwater Amphipods

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Genetic diversity is key to the long‐term maintenance and adaptability of species to changing environments. While for above‐ground ecosystems, the monitoring and understanding of genetic diversity has advanced substantially, some less accessible ecosystems and their organisms have been largely overseen.

A Comprehensive Occurrence Dataset for European Ostracoda Inhabiting Groundwater and Groundwater‐Dependent Ecosystems

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 6, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Motivation Groundwater ecosystems sustain a unique and globally important biodiversity but remain understudied due to sampling and exploration challenges, as well as a shortage of taxonomic experts. Groundwater ostracods, like other groundwater taxa, exhibit a high degree of endemism, rarity and subterranean specialisation, positioning them as

Carnarvonis gen. nov. and Warregoensis gen. nov.: two new genera and species of subterranean amphipods (Crangonyctoidea: Chillagoeidae) described from north-eastern Australia

Records of the Australian Museum, 2023
Biological surveys are crucial and appropriate approaches for capturing invertebrate biodiversity data and specimens, particularly considering that a significantly high proportion of Australian invertebrates are thought to be undescribed. During the 2014
