Considerable gene flow in troglomorphic cockroach species across a vast subterranean landscape
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 50, Issue 11, Page 1967-1980, November 2023., 2023 Abstract Aim There has been growing interest in non‐cave subterranean habitats and their influence on the evolution of troglomorphic (i.e. ‘subterranean adapted’) species. Studies on the diversification of aquatic subterranean organisms in these habitats generally support the ‘subterranean island’ hypothesis, whereby isolated subterranean refuges lead ...

Molecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 20, Page 5626-5644, October 2023., 2023 Abstract The Astyanax mexicanus complex includes two different morphs, a surface‐ and a cave‐adapted ecotype, found at three mountain ranges in Northeastern Mexico: Sierra de El Abra, Sierra de Guatemala and Sierra de la Colmena (Micos). Since their discovery, multiple studies have attempted to characterize the timing and the number of events that gave

Journal of Morphology, Volume 283, Issue 11, Page 1425-1438, November 2022., 2022 Although the link between species' phenotypes and their ecological performance is a well‐know phenomenon, in nonmodel systems discerning which body parts respond to specific ecological pressures might not be intuitive and can even be misleading sometimes.

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.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 21, Page 15389-15403, November 2021., 2021 Surface‐dwelling species that repeatedly and independently colonized caves such as Asellus aquaticus provide unique models to study parallel evolution. We measured and analyzed 17 functional morphological traits on 656 individuals from 15 cave and surface populations. We found that besides the expected habitat‐related morphological changes habitat type

Systematic Entomology, Volume 46, Issue 2, Page 396-421, April 2021., 2021 Novel probe set developed for anchored hybrid enrichment of Staphylinidae (Coleoptera), targeting 1229 single‐copy, protein‐encoding, orthologous loci from the nuclear genome. Comprehensive phylogeny of rove beetle tribe Quediini (∼800 spp.), with 46% of 201 ingroup taxa sequenced from pinned specimens, will serve as framework for needed generic ...

Catching of spiders in shallow subterranean habitats in the Czech Republic
Arachnologische Mitteilungen, 2016 Spiders occurring in soils and fissured rocks were investigated using pipe traps. Four microphthalmic species, namely Hahnia microphthalma, Porrhomma egeria, P. microps and P. cambridgei were collected.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 10, Issue 12, Page 5323-5331, June 2020., 2020 We showed that cave‐adapted freshwater isopod Asellus aquaticus did not lose its ability to recognize and even prefer surface food after at least 60,000 years of isolation in the cave . This result suggest that adaptation to a highly specialized and stable habitat does not necessary include a decrease in behavioral innovativeness.
