A troglobite (or, formally, troglobiont) is an animal species, or population of a species, strictly bound to underground habitats, such as caves.These are separate from species that mainly live in above-ground habitats but are also able to live underground (eutroglophiles), and species that are only cave visitors (subtroglophiles and trogloxenes). [1]
The species is endemic to the San Antonio, Texas area of the United States. It is one of nine species deemed the Bexar County Invertebrates, as all nine are found in similar cave environments in the central region of Texas. [2] These species range in size from one millimetre to one centimetre. They are also eyeless or essentially eyeless and ...
Cave dwelling animals show different levels of adaptations to underground environment. According to a recent classification, animals living in terrestrial subterranean habitats can be classified into 3 categories, based on their ecology: troglobionts (or troglobites): species strongly bound to subterranean habitats;
Palaemon antrorum, also known as the Balcones cave shrimp and the Texas cave shrimp, is a species of palaemonid shrimp endemic to Texas. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] It is listed as an endangered species on the IUCN Red List , [ 1 ] and as a Species of Concern by the United States Endangered Species Act .

Topographic map of Texas. This is a list of mammals of Texas. Mammals native to or immediately off the coast of the U.S. state of Texas are listed first. Introduced mammals, whether intentional or unintentional, are listed separately. The varying geography of Texas, the second largest state, provides a large variety of habitats for mammals.
The Cokendolpher cave harvestman is an obligate cave dwelling species; they require subterranean habitats with high humidity and stable temperatures. [6] Karst cave habitats in Texas fulfill these conditions and are suitable environments for the Cokendolpher cave harvestman. This species lives in the space between rocks in karst caves.
The 2018 five-year review agrees with the 2009 review on the distribution of the species: five caves with records of the species from four karst fauna regions in Travis County, Texas. There is no data specific to the Tooth Cave pseudoscorpion, although research on troglodytic arachnids suggests that they may travel through a network of ...
