Species distributions in oceanic islands or in underground ecosystems may show some striking features. In islands, closely related taxa with largely overlapping distributions are frequently reported, while some cave-dwelling species are widespread across several cave localities that are not connected. In collaboration with Dr. Pedro Oromí (Canary Islands, Spain), I am conducting research on the phylogeographic patterns of some of the aforementioned cases that occur in the Canary Islands and their lava tubesSpecies distributions in oceanic islands or in underground ecosystems may show some striking features.
