Taxonomic status and behavioural documentation of the troglobiont Lithobiusmatulici (Myriapoda, Chilopoda) from the Dinaric Alps: Are there semiaquatic centipedes in caves? [PDF]
Zookeys, 2019 Lithobiusmatulici Verhoeff, 1899 is redescribed based on type material and newly collected specimens. Strandiolusjugoslavicus Hoffer, 1937, described from another cave in the same region in Bosnia and Hercegovina, is presented as a junior subjective synonym of L.matulici (syn. nov.).

Bat Migration Intensifies Cave Fish Richness Loss Under Climate Change in China
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Cave fish, the largest aquatic vertebrates in karst ecosystems, rely heavily on bat guano as a nutrient source. However, ongoing environmental change is degrading cave habitats and altering bat distributions. This study aims to assess how climate‐driven bat migration affects cave fish distributions in China, providing insights for ...

Moving in the Dark: Enlightening the Spatial Population Ecology of European Cave Salamanders
Population Ecology, Volume 68, Issue 1, January 2026.We assessed individual interactions, movement ecology and activity patterns of a subterranean population of Speleomantes strinatii, applying spatial capture–recapture modeling to a photographic dataset of 104 individuals. ABSTRACT Space use and movement are fundamental aspects of organisms' ecology, mirroring individual fitness, behavior, and life ...

Brain Transcriptomics Reveals Molecular Mechanisms of Cave Adaptation in Triplophysa Loaches
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.This study compares brain transcriptomes of cave (Triplophysa shilinensis) and surface‐dwelling (T. xiangshuingensis) loaches to uncover molecular adaptations to subterranean life. We identified widespread gene down‐regulation in the cave ecotype, with enriched pathways in energy metabolism, circadian rhythms, sensory perception, and body coloration ...
