• Rising from Down Under: developments in subterranean biodiversity in Australia from a groundwater fauna perspective (2008, background): “In the 48 contiguous states of USA ~1000 obligate cave species are known, of which 269 are stygobites (Culver et al. 2003) with no more than 80 species in any karst region.”
• Vicariance, dispersal and scale in the aquatic subterranean fauna of karst regions (2009, background): “Cave regions in North America differ by nearly two orders of magnitude in stygobiont diversity (Culver et al., 2003).”
