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 ...

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.

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 ...

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,

Global overview on groundwater fauna
Ecohydrology, Volume 17, Issue 1, January 2024.Abstract Groundwater is an important global resource, providing water for irrigation, industry, geothermal uses and potable water. Moreover, groundwater contains the world's largest terrestrial freshwater biome with ecosystems, inhabited mainly by invertebrates (stygofauna) and microbes, undertaking important services including water purification, as ...

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 ...

Mediterranean springs: Keystone ecosystems and biodiversity refugia threatened by global change
Global Change Biology, Volume 30, Issue 1, January 2024.Mediterranean spring ecosystems are unique habitats supporting a remarkable array of biodiversity and providing important ecological functions and ecosystem services. However, global change poses important threats to these freshwater ecosystems, such as changes in climate patterns and increasing human pressures like overexploitation and pollution.

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 ...
