Diversity and Distribution of Freshwater Amphipod Species in Switzerland (Crustacea: Amphipoda)
- F. Altermatt, R. Alther, +6 authors A. Westram
- Biology, Medicine
- PloS one
- 29 October 2014
Amphipods are key organisms in many freshwater systems and contribute substantially to the diversity and functioning of macroinvertebrate communities. Furthermore, they are commonly used as… Expand
Parallels between two geographically and ecologically disparate cave invasions by the same species, Asellus aquaticus (Isopoda, Crustacea)
- Marjeta Konec, S. Prevorčnik, S. Sarbu, R. Verovnik, P. Trontelj
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of evolutionary biology
- 1 April 2015
Caves are long‐known examples of evolutionary replications where similar morphologies (troglomorphies) evolve independently as the result of strong natural selection of the extreme environment.… Expand
Conservation problems with hypothelminorheic Niphargus species (Amphipoda: Niphargidae)
- C. Fišer, Marjeta Konec, Zala Kobe, Miha Osanič, Pina Gruden, H. Potocnik
- Biology
- 1 July 2010
1.
The hypothelminorheic is a unique superficial subterranean habitat, harbouring troglomorphic species that are unique to this habitat or share species with other subterranean habitats. These… Expand

- Molecular ecology resources
- 1 July 2011
This article documents the addition of 111 microsatellite marker loci to the Molecular Ecology Resources Database. Loci were developed for the following species: Acipenser oxyrinchus desotoi,… Expand
Taxonomic, phylogenetic and ecological diversity of Niphargus (Amphipoda: Crustacea) in the Hölloch cave system (Switzerland)
- C. Fišer, Marjeta Konec, R. Alther, V. Švara, F. Altermatt
- Biology
- 4 May 2017
Groundwater belongs to the spatially most extensive, but least explored freshwater systems. On a global scale, the species richness of several subterranean invertebrate taxa parallels species… Expand
First microsatellite data on Proteus anguinus reveal weak genetic structure between the caves of Postojna and Planina
- V. Zakšek, Marjeta Konec, P. Trontelj
- Biology
- 1 February 2018
The European cave salamander, Proteus anguinus, or proteus, is the largest obligate cave animal in the world. It is an endangered and charismatic species of high conservation importance for… Expand
DNA barcoding sheds light on hidden subterranean boundary between Adriatic and Danubian drainage basins
- Marjeta Konec, Teo Delić, P. Trontelj
- Geology
- 1 October 2016
In principle, the distribution of freshwater fauna follows the extent of drainage basins, but various historical and concurrent factors weaken this correspondence. Subterranean karstic drainages can… Expand
Asellus Aquaticus: A Model System for Historical Biogeography
- R. Verovnik, Marjeta Konec
- Biology
- 2012
Abstract The aquatic isopod Asellus aquaticus independently populated three cave systems in Europe, where it forms troglomorphic populations all described as separate subspecies. Molecular studies… Expand
