Trapped in the web of water : groundwater-fed springs are island-like ecosystems for the meiofauna

We investigated whether the equilibrium theory of island biogeography (ETIB) can be applied to the meiofauna of groundwater-fed springs. We tested whether copepod species richness was related with spring area, discharge, and elevation. Additionally, five hypotheses are tested based on species distri...
