Cryptic diversity patterns of subterranean estuaries.

Abstract excerpt

Subterranean estuaries are coastal ecosystems characterized by vertically stratified groundwater. The biota within these ecosystems is relatively understudied due to the inherent difficulty of accessing such extreme environments. The fauna inhabiting these ecosystems is considered vulnerable to extinction, and the presence of cryptic species has major implications for research and conservation efforts. Most...
