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

open access: yesDiversity, 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 ...

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

open access: yesDiversity 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.

Two new stygobiont freshwater snail species from Hungary (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Truncatelloidea)

open access: yesAnnales Musei historico-naturalis hungarici, 2020
– Two new snail species are described, namely Paladilhiopsis pallgergelyi sp. n. from the valley of the River Dráva, and Alzoniella katagabriellae sp. n. from the Börzsöny Mountains.

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

open access: yesGlobal 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

What do Lateglacial and Holocene land snail communities tell us about the palaeoenvironments of Mediterranean France?

open access: yesBoreas, Volume 54, Issue 1, Page 60-85, January 2025.
Land snail assemblages from three calcareous tufa deposits in the Luberon mountain, southeastern France, were used to reconstruct Lateglacial and Holocene palaeoenvironments. We describe the succession of molluscan assemblages, discuss their significance – mainly in terms of vegetation and landscape structure – and try to reconstruct community dynamics

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

open access: yesRecords 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

PSEUDOCRANGONYX ELENAE, SP. N. (CRUSTACEA: AMPHIPODA: PSEUDOCRANGONYCTIDAE) FROM SHALLOW SUBTERRANEAN HABITATS (SSHs) OF EASTERN SIKHOTE-ALIN

open access: yesАмурский зоологический журнал, 2011
The new stygobiont amphipod species, Pseudocrangonyх elenae, sampled in shallow subterranean habitats (SSHs) of Eastern Sikhote-Alin Mountain Ridge, the Serebryanka River basin (Russia, Primorskii Krai) is described.

Genetic divergence and evolutionary times: calibrating a protein clock for South-European Stenasellus species (Crustacea, Isopoda) [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Speleology, 1997
We studied genetic divergence in a group of exclusively stygobiont isopods of the family Stenasellidae. In particular, we assessed evolutionary relationships among several populations of Stenasellus racovitzai and Stenasellus virei.

Modelling the distribution of stygobionts in the Jura Mountains (eastern France). Implications for the protection of ground waters

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, 2007
ABSTRACTGround waters have exceptional conservation value due to the high endemism of their biota, the high occurrence of species relicts and because they are the second most important reservoir of freshwater after the glaciers. We used habitat‐based models to predict the distribution of obligate groundwater species (stygobionts) in the Jura Mountains,
