Abstract

Subterranean biodiversity is increasingly threatened by multiple intertwined anthropogenic impacts, including habitat loss, pollution, overexploitation of resources, biological invasions and climate change. Worryingly, subterranean biodiversity is still poorly represented in conservation agendas, also due to persisting gaps in our knowledge of the organisms thriving in the often-secluded and difficult-to-access subterranean ecosystems. This is even more apparent for small-sized (body size < 1 mm) groundwater-dwelling metazoans, among which copepods (Crustacea: Copepoda) represent the dominant group in terms of both species richness and biomass.

EGCop：专家策划的欧洲地下栖息桡足类（甲壳纲：桡足类）发生数据集

地下生物多样性正日益受到生境丧失、污染、资源过度开发、生物入侵和气候变化等多种相互交织的人为影响的威胁。令人担忧的是，地下生物多样性在保护议程中仍然没有得到充分的体现，这也是由于我们对地下生态系统中经常隐蔽和难以进入的生物的认识仍然存在差距。对于小型（体长1毫米）的地下生活后生动物来说，这一点更为明显，其中桡足类（甲壳类：桡足类）在物种丰富度和生物量方面都是优势类群。

期刊介绍： Global Ecology and Biogeography (GEB) welcomes papers that investigate broad-scale (in space, time and/or taxonomy), general patterns in the organization of ecological systems and assemblages, and the processes that underlie them. In particular, GEB welcomes studies that use macroecological methods, comparative analyses, meta-analyses, reviews, spatial analyses and modelling to arrive at general, conceptual conclusions. Studies in GEB need not be global in spatial extent, but the conclusions and implications of the study must be relevant to ecologists and biogeographers globally, rather than being limited to local areas, or specific taxa. Similarly, GEB is not limited to spatial studies; we are equally interested in the general patterns of nature through time, among taxa (e.g., body sizes, dispersal abilities), through the course of evolution, etc. Further, GEB welcomes papers that investigate general impacts of human activities on ecological systems in accordance with the above criteria.
