Boreas, 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

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

Diversity 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,

Stygobiont ostracods from a deep cave Njemica (Biokovo Mt., Croatia) [PDF]
, 2022 Njemica cave on Biokovo Mountain is the fifth deepest pit in the Republic of Croatia (-936 m). It is primarily a vertical speleological object characterized by the alternation of spacious large halls and large verticals. At the bottom of the pit is a deep siphon lake with an unclear hydrological regime.

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 6, Issue 12, December 2024.The results confirm: (1) Biodiversity and HES priority sites have different spatial patterns, sharing only 24% of priority sites, (2) HES priority sites achieve a high percentage (95%) of biodiversity conservation targets, showing that they can potentially be used for biodiversity representation, and (3) integrating HES and biodiversity into one model ...

European Journal of Taxonomy, 2015 Three species of the genus Pseudocandona Kaufmann, 1900 and one of the genus Undulacandona Smith, 2011, collected from freshwater habitats in Japan, are described. The Pseudocandona species, Pseudocandona becca sp. nov., Pseudocandona atmeta sp. nov. and

Ecography, Volume 2024, Issue 8, August 2024.Understanding spatial patterns of biodiversity within the context of long‐term climatic shifts is of high importance, particularly in the face of contemporary climate change. In comparison to aboveground taxa, subterranean organisms respond to changing climates with generally much lower dispersal and recolonization potential, yet possible persistence ...

Biologija, 2015 Although the groundwater ecosystems are diversely populated habitats, it is believed that a lot of species wait for description in these special environments. But, increasing pollution in the world also affects groundwater ecosystems. Macroinvertebrates living as a subterranaean form in groundwaters play an important role in the purification of these ...
