  • A preliminary survey of the aquatic invertebrate fauna of Scottish caves

    A descriptive survey of the aquatic invertebrate fauna of 32 caves across various regions of Scotland was carried out between April 2015 and April 2021. Most of the vadose streams in the Scottish ... cave systems investigated were allogenic in nature and hence were dominated by aquatic invertebrate assemblages of benthic taxa presumed to have drifted in from the surface. Lentic habitats harboured less-diverse communities, often dominated by large numbers of Oligochaeta, Ostracoda and Copepoda. The latter two groups are mostly very small (1–3mm) animals that generally prefer slower flows and more sheltered conditions. Several, possibly stygophilic, populations of copepods and ostracods were recorded in pools and perched sumps in higher level passages, above normal water levels. The stygophilic ostracod Cavernocypris subterranea was recorded from four new sites in the Assynt and Appin regions. Specimens in the ostracod genus Fabaeformiscandona, tentatively identified as Fabaeformiscandona latens, were recorded in two caves. Although the collection of additional specimens is required for confirmation, these records of F. latens could be the first documentation of this stygobitic species in the British Isles.
