A dark side of conservation biology: Protected areas fail in representing subterranean biodiversity
Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 16, Issue 5, Page 674-683, September 2023., 2023 Subterranean environments host a diversity of poorly known specialised organisms, of high scientific and conservation interest, which might not be effectively protected by the current surface networks of protected areas.

Use of cenotes and the cave environment by mammals on the Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico
Biotropica, Volume 54, Issue 4, Page 881-892, July 2022., 2022 Jungle on the Yucatán Peninsula overlies fractured limestone bedrock where flooded caves known regionally as cenotes represent the only reliable source of free‐standing water for much of the Peninsula’s wildlife. Using camera traps we showed that at least 20 mammals use cenotes to accessing drinking water, as well as for foraging, nesting, mating ...

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 15, Issue 2, Page 181-190, March 2022., 2022 We assess the vulnerability to climate change of the Iberian endemic subterranean pseudoscorpion Neobisium (Blothrus) vasconicum vasconicum. The fate of this species under future climatic scenarios is different depending of the approach used to estimate thermal tolerance.
