• Exploring the relationship between sampling efficiency and short‐range endemism for groundwater fauna in the Pilbara region, Western Australia (2009, background): “Although the fauna is still being documented, it is apparent that the Pilbara contains globally significant numbers of groundwater species (see Culver & Sket, 2000; Gibert & Deharveng, 2002).”
• Diversity, ecology and evolution of groundwater copepods (2009, background): “Although their ecological functions in ground water are imperfectly known, copepods may play significant roles in groundwater food webs and ecosystems (Gibert & Deharveng, 2002).”
• Limestone Karsts of Southeast Asia: Imperiled Arks of Biodiversity (2006, background): “The relative stability and antiquity of subterranean ecosystems enable relict faunas to persist (Gibert and Deharveng 2002).”
• Towards a biologically meaningful classification of subterranean organisms: a critical analysis of the Schiner-Racovitza system from a historical perspective, difficulties of its application and implications for conservation (2017, background): “Contrary to assertions by Sket (2008), and endorsed by Culver and Pipan (2009), Pavan´s subtroglophiles do not correspond to Racovitza´s troglophiles (which, in turn, do not correspond to Schiner´s, as already discussed), because, by definition, the latter s´y reproduisent souvent [frequently reprod”
• Rising from Down Under: developments in subterranean biodiversity in Australia from a groundwater fauna perspective (2008, background): “1994) but their trophic structure is truncated owing to the lack of primary producers (Gibert and Deharveng 2002), except in the special case of chemosynthesis (Sarbu et al.”
• Aquifers: the ultimate groundwater-dependent ecosystems (2006, background): “Thus, in addition to the general lack of primary production (acknowledging occasional chemoautotrophy), there are few top predators and consequently subterranean ecosystems have a truncated functional biodiversity (Gibert and Deharveng 2002).”
• Patterns of endemism of the eastern North American cave fauna (2005, background): “Troglobionts and stygobionts also share a biogeographical feature (Gibert & Deharveng, 2002) – relative to most if not all other ecological or taxonomic groups, their ranges are small and endemism at all scales of measurement is high.”
• Using biogeographical patterns of endemic land snails to improve conservation planning for limestone karsts (2008, methodology): “In karst caves, high endemism in animal communities (e.g., fishes, bats, arthropods, etc.) can also result due to evolutionary changes arising from prolonged cohabitation of species from different ecological and biogeographical origins (e.g., Culver et al., 2000; Gibert and Deharveng, 2002).”
• Global alteration of freshwaters: influences on human and environmental well-being (2011, background): “An estimated additional 50,000–100,000 species alone may live in ground water (Gibert and Deharveng 2002).”
• The mid-latitude biodiversity ridge in terrestrial cave fauna (2006, background): “As is characteristic of cave fauna in general (Gibert and Deharveng 2002), it is a highly biased sample of the surface-dwelling invertebrate fauna (Table 3).”
• PCA – A Powerful Method for Analyze Ecological Niches (2012, background): “On the other hand, in highly endemic troglomorphic species–i.e., those well adapted to the hypogean habitat (e.g., Gibert and Deharveng 2002, Christman et al., 2005, Culver and Pipan 2009)–the community disconception might have little or no significant impact on the findings under…”
• Stygobiotic crustacean species richness: a question of numbers, a matter of scale (2010, background): “In theory, food and spatial niche availability in the truncated food webs (Gibert & Deharveng, 2002) may be explanatory variables accounting for differences in species richness observed between different areas of highly heterogeneous aquifers; i.e. they may explain the low levels of measured point…”
