Stygobiotic faunal elements in spring assemblages of West Transcaucasia

Macroinvertebrates of stygobiotic origin contributing to benthic assemblages in springs of the two regions of West Transcaucasia were investigated. The regions concerned, basins of the KhostaKudeps ta Rivers (Krasnodarskiy krai) and Myussera Upland (Abkhazia), are wellstudied and drastically diff...
