Researchers of the biospeleology group of the Ljubljana Biotechnical Faculty published in the Nature Communications journal an article which, according to the principal author Špela Borko, shows for the first time that “descendants of the ancient explosions of evolution may also be found in Europe, if you look in the right spot – underground”.
In the article titled Subterranean adaptive radiation of amphipods in Europe, the researchers of the Department of Biology at the faculty reconstructed the course of evolution of 45 billion-year-old subterranean amphipod genus.
