Evaluation of eDNA for groundwater invertebrate detection and monitoring: a case study with endangered Stygobromus (Amphipoda: Crangonyctidae)
Effective conservation and management of biodiversity is limited by a lack of critical
knowledge on species' distributions and abundances. This problem is particularly …

Diversification in tropics and subtropics following the mid‐Miocene climate change: A case study of the spider genus Nesticella
Caves may offer suitable refugia for troglophilic invertebrates during periods of unfavourable
climatic conditions because of their stable microclimates. As a consequence, allopatric …

Predicting the occurrence of cave-inhabiting fauna based on features of the earth surface environment
One of the most challenging fauna to study in situ is the obligate cave fauna because of the
difficulty of sampling. Cave-limited species display patchy and restricted distributions, but it …
