Sulfide Shrimp? Observations on the concealed life history of the Thermosbaenacea (Crustacea)

The discovery and subsequent observation over various years of a massive population of the thermosbaenacean Tethysbaena ophelicola Wagner in the subterranean karstic sulfide pool of Ayyalon (Israel) enabled us to reach conclusions about the previously unknown life strategy of this crustacean super-o...
