text: For example, stygobiont diving beetles (Dytiscidae) breath at the water surface while stygobiont crustaceans in the same system respire within the water; so the crustaceans, but not beetles, could potentially disperse through subterranean water lacking contact with the air. Conversely, stygobiont species, typically long-lived and lacking resting stages, are dependent on the permanent presence of groundwater.

text: The regression model and the two-step model suggest that a marine benthic animal colonizes the marine cave, adapts to the cave environment and to the less saline water, and becomes isolated from the sea after the sea regresses, which results in a limnic stygobiont.
ref: 2012, William Blaine White, David C. Culver, Encyclopedia of Caves, →ISBN, page 687:
text: The new species of Alona is clearly a stygobiont, although accompanied by a fauna which is not exclusively stygobiotic.
