Groundwater Ecology and Evolution, Second Edition covers the basic attributes of groundwater ecosystems, the processes shaping patterns of species diversity, the evolutionary forces driving the acquisition of subterranean biological traits, the way these traits are differently expressed among groundwater organisms, and the role of organisms in maintaining biogeochemical processes. Final sections show how knowledge acquired among multiple research fields (sections 1 to 5) is used to manage groundwater biodiversity and ecosystem services in the face of future groundwater resource use scenarios. Emphasis on the coherence and prospects of the whole discipline is made in an introduction and in conclusions of the book. This book is primarily intended for an audience of graduate students, post-graduate students and academic researchers involved in the study of groundwater ecosystems. Provides a modern synthesis of research dedicated to the study of groundwater ecosystems Bridges the gap between community ecology, evolution and functional ecology, three research fields that have long been presented in isolation Explains how the trans-disciplinarily integration of research contributes to understanding and managing groundwater ecosystem functionality Reveals the contribution of groundwater ecology and evolution in solving scientific questions well beyond the frontiers of groundwater systems
