Fishes in marine caves have attracted limited attention by the scientific community comparison to subterranean fishes which lost eyes and pigmentation. They constitute a largely unexplored component of fish diversity, except for relatively well-studied Mediterranean Sea. These habitats are characterized steep environmental gradients decreasing light water exchange. The recorded so far not exclusive residents this habitat they also present at least other mesolithial habitats. In caves, 132 been date, representing about 17% total species richness. Most these reported from anterior cave zones where some still exists, while smaller number known totally dark zones. Among them, 27.3% accidental visitors, 53.8% regular visitors switchers between mesolithion open water, 5.3% permanent mesolithion, but occur habitats, 13.6% mesolithion. Some share similar morphology, probably as adaptations

Abstract Stable temperature, humidity, and oligotrophy may be essential in microhabitat selection, shaping niche overlap species coexistence within cave ecosystems. To explore this hypothesis, we assessed the distribution preferences of four non‐obligate cave‐dwelling spiders: Loxosceles anomala , Scytodes itapevi Philoponella vittata exotic Oecobius navus . Using 1‐m 2 quadrats, surveyed spider abundance a limestone cave, considering environmental conditions prey availability during wet dry periods. Significant differences were observed between moist periods regarding light intensity, wind speed, air temperature moisture, potential prey, L. The O. was more specialist, preferred brighter habitats, showed lower overlap. Conversely, three native displayed greater darker humid environments. Spatial disparities, rather than temporal variation, underscored influence habitat on segregation. Furthermore, our findings highlighted limited ability non‐native to occupy illuminated areas, thereby potentially safeguarding these habitats against biological invasion by species.
