These orders were represented by a total of 25 species, mostly as aquatic larvae. Siphonaptera Total of 7 species have been collected underground. One species collected from Myotis spp. In addition, there are several probable new copepod species in the genus Acanthocyclops . Diptera A total of 50 taxa have been collected, many of which have as yet been identified only to genus.
Most species are, apparently, restricted to the entrance to twilight areas.
There are probably few true troglobites, although study of the life-history of some of the mycetophilids would probably yield some important information. Other Taxa Amongst the remaining 15 taxa are representatives of 10 orders or phyla. These are very preliminary studies, and the observations thus far are suggestive of the potential for further discoveries. Surface environs in karst areas, particularly in coastal areas, are subject to massive change through timber harvesting. While this probably affects most strongly the entrance zone, particularly with respect to humidity and temperature regimes, the influence may extend deep into the cave through water flow and evapotranspiration changes.
