The role of isolation on contrasting phylogeographic patterns in two cave crustaceans

Abstract Background The underlying mechanisms and processes that prompt the colonisation of extreme environments, such as caves, constitute major research themes of evolutionary biology and biospeleology. The special adaptations required to survive in subterranean environments (low food availability...
