This chapter deals with the diversity of terrestrial cave invertebrates from the viewpoint of its
contribution to global diversity and of the variety of morphological traits and life forms …

Background Rates of molecular evolution are known to vary across taxa and among genes,
and this requires rate calibration for each specific dataset based on external information …

Ecological Studies is Springer's premier book series treating all aspects of ecology. These
volumes, either authored or edited collections, appear several times each year. They are …

Abstract Background The Alpine region harbours one of the most diverse subterranean
faunas in the world, with many species showing extreme morphological modifications. The …

Using data from two nuclear ribosomal genes and four nuclear protein-coding genes, we
infer a well-resolved phylogeny of major lineages of the carabid beetle supertribe Trechitae …

Background and purpose: The approaches to the impact of climate change on carabid
beetles are highly differentiated. We review here most studies that tried to compare past …

Research on subterranean organisms has focused on the colonization process and some of
the associated phenotypic changes, but little is known on the long-term evolutionary …

The trechine beetle fauna (Coleoptera, Carabidae) of the Ethiopian Highlands is known to
be highly diverse in species, and many species groups were recognized to be characterized …

Aim To test different biogeographical scenarios for the evolution of the ground beetles of the
Trechus fulvus group, a lineage with many narrowly distributed flightless subterranean …
