Abstract

the inner sections of the cave, T. vignai realized its niche as a trade-off between optimal microclimatic conditions and trophic availability. With this work, we aim at providing new insights about the complex relationships among subterranean species, demonstrating that energy-poor environments such as caves maintain the potential for diversification of top predators via niches differentiation.
