River Research and Applications, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 863-874, June 2024.Abstract Headwater springs and streams often occur in relatively remote areas, reducing their exposure to human influences and thus increasing their collective capacity to support high biodiversity. Their aquatic macroinvertebrate communities can include species of conservation interest, some of which are specialists associated with groundwater inputs,

New stygobiont amphipods (Crustacea Amphipoda) from the Philippine Islands
Tropical Zoology, 1994 The author has studied the amphipods collected in the Philippines during a research campaign concerning groundwater fauna. The new mesopsammic genus Cottarellia, found on Sabang beach (eastern Mindoro), is described. This genus, represented by one exceptionally small (1.2 mm) blind species (Cottarellia minima), is most closely related to Hornellia ...

Composition and distribution of stygobionts in the Tafna alluvial aquifer (north-western Algeria)
Subterranean Biology, 2011 Little is known about the hypogean fauna of Algeria, with studies mostly dating to the beginning of the twentieth century (Gurney 1908; Racovitza 1912; Monod 1924; Pesce and Tetè 1978); moreover, the knowledge varies markedly among regions. In this study, we examined the composition and distribution of the invertebrate communities in the phreatic zone ...

DNA taxonomy reveals high species diversity among the stygobiont genus Metastenasellus (Crustacea, Isopoda) in African groundwater [PDF]
Subterranean BiologyThis study aimed to explore the species diversity within the isopod genus Metastenasellus in Benin and Cameroon. Compared to other parts of the world, the described diversity of stygobiotic crustaceans in Africa is low due to a dearth of studies and ...
