Investigation of the fauna in the Szmaragdowa/Szeptunów Cave in Poland: an example of short time colonization process
Journal Title: Acta zoologica cracoviensia - Year 2016, Vol 59, Issue 2
Abstract
We provide the first report on the process of cave colonization and taxa inhabiting the Szmaragdowa Cave, discovered and made open only 25 years ago. The cave is located in the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland (southern Poland) – a region where glacial influence has been observed in the past. Faunal composition of the cave is reported and discussed, along with chemical parameters of water bodies. Noteworthy is the absence of aquatic fauna.
