inTrOducTiOn In air-filled cave and karst habitats, troglobites and troglophiles rely on an influx of allochthonous (surface-derived) organic matter from dripwaters or sheetflow on moist cave-wall surfaces. This habitat type is referred to as the cave hygropetric (Sket, 2004). Hydrological isolation for some cave hygropetric habitats may restrict the influx of organic matter, making a habitat nutrient-limited overall. Consequently, food limitation over extended periods of time has served as a major driver for evolutionary adaptation for troglobites (e.g., Sket, 2004). One highly evolved, troglobitic beetle, Cansiliella servadeii Paoletti 1980 (Coleoptera: Leptodirini, formerly Bathysciinae), has been found at a depth of ~450 m below the surface in Grotta della Foos, northeastern Italy.
