Distribution pattern and driving factors of mite communities in karst cave ecosystems
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2024.Mites are abundant invertebrates in underground ecosystems, influenced by resource and environmental diversity, but the diversity of cave mites remains unclear. Through a survey of soil mites in three typical areas of light intensity in caves and their adjacent environments outside the caves, we found that although there are significant differences in ...

Male antennae in each of the six families.
, 2017 Green color represents the troglobite species; black color the epigean species. 1–7: antennomeres 1–7. Differences in the length/width ratio of the antennomeres were only obvious in the family Paradoxosomatidae (Polydesmida).

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 342, Issue 3, Page 178-188, May 2024.Evolutionary mechanisms underlying the remarkable adaptation of cavefish to thrive the extreme environmental shift from enriched surface rivers to the dark and biodiversity‐limited cave environment at the time of their cave colonization. Abstract Extreme environmental conditions have profound impacts on shaping the evolutionary trajectory of organisms.

The faunistic diversity of cave-dwelling spiders (Arachnida, Araneae) of Greece
Arachnologische Mitteilungen, 2011 Until today, from Greek caves a total of 109 species of spiders belonging to 25 families are known. One species, the linyphiid Porrhomma convexum (Westring, 1861) was recorded here for the first time in Greece. The 109 species are distributed in caves of

Are troglobitic taxa troglobiomorphic? A test using phylogenetic inference [PDF]
International Journal of Speleology, 1997 Obligate cave dwelling organisms are frequently characterised by a peculiar morphological syndrome, named troglomorphosis or troglobiomorphosis. This hypothesis, which deals with the evolutionary influence of the subterranean environment on cave ...
