The turbulent and intricate geology of the Mediterranean region has been responsible for connections, redirections, and interruptions of freshwater systems that have been instrumental in the speciation and distribution of many organisms, including freshwater shrimps. There are 50 species and subspecies currently reported from the freshwater systems of the broader Mediterranean region that belong to 11 genera and three families. Three of these are exotic species that have been introduced to the region\’s ecosystems from elsewhere. The majority of species of Mediterranean freshwater shrimps belong to the Atyidae, followed by the Palaemonidae, and the Typhlocarididae, and most species have a very restricted distributional range. Among the three Mediterranean Peninsulas, the Balkan Peninsula fosters the highest biodiversity and is the species hotspot within the region. Subterranean (hypogean) and surface (epigean) habitats of the broader Mediterranean region are equally dwelled by shrimps. Currently 14 native species of freshwater shrimps are assessed by the IUCN Red List as threatened with extinction from increased freshwater ecosystem degradation which underlines the urgent need for conservation action.

We describe the sexual dimorphism in the genus Atyaephyrade Brito Capello, 1867 (family Atyidae De Haan, 1849) through the example of A. thyamisensisChristodoulou, Antoniou, Magoulas \& Koukouras, 2012 as a contribution to the ongoing effort to describe the morphological variability in the genus. Individuals of A. thyamisensis were collected from Thyamis River (Epirus, northwestern Greece) over a period of five years. Selected characters were examined on the basis of already known differences recorded from the literature and from direct observations in order to detect possible intersexual morphological differences in this species. A total of 42 somatometric distances and 14 meristic characters were measured. The morphological comparison as well as the statistical analysis showed a clear separation between the two sexes and between non-ovigerous and ovigerous females. Besides the first and second pair of pleopods, sex-related differences were found between the third and fourth pair of pereiopods, rostrum, carapace, antennules, and chelae, whereas differences between the non-ovigerous and ovigerous females were most obvious in the abdominal segments. Also discussed are the key sexual morphological characters that can aid in distinguishing the species of Atyaephyra

Quantitative aspects of the life cycle of the freshwater shrimp Atyaephyra desmarestiiwere used to investigate its life span at the edge of its distribution area in Central Europe (Upper Rhine) for a period of three years. We estimated the proportion of the population surviving a second hibernation period. The appearance of ovigerous females in late spring was followed by a strong decline in the number of adults, the appearance of a high percentage of juveniles in late summer (0.58 ind./m 2), and their subsequent disappearance from the shore in winter. A small semivoltine cohort survived a second winter. The average life span was 12-15 (max. 29) months under laboratory conditions. In molecular studies (COX I), the Upper Rhine and Southern France populations clustered within the North Africa/West-Central Europe species clade. Due to its low productivity, this invasive species is unlikely to cause management problems.

Atyaephyra de Brito Capello, 1867 was described from the Mediterranean region almost 200 years ago. Since then, the genus has been recorded from various freshwater habitats in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. Despite its long history, the taxonomic status of Atyaephyra species remains confusing and uncertain. Consequently numerous specimens from the known range of Atyaephyra were analysed using morphological characters and mitochondrial COI sequences in an attempt to clarify the taxonomy of this genus. The present study recognises seven Atyaephyra species, more than twice as many as previously recorded (three), four of which are considered as new. The new species are described, additional information to the original descriptions are provided for the remaining three taxa, while neotypes of A. desmarestii Millet, 1831 and A. stankoi Karaman, 1972 are designated to stabilize their taxonomy. Non-overlapping distinguishing morphological characters are used to discriminate the examined material into five species, e.g., A. desmarestii, A. stankoi, A. orientalis Bouvier, 1913, A. thyamisensis sp. n., A. strymonensis sp. n. In addition, the genetic analysis supports the existence of multiple phylogenetic clades in the broader Mediterranean area and distinguishes two new cryptic species, namely A. tuerkayi sp. n. and A. acheronensis sp. n. The geographic distribution of these species is confirmed and their phylogenetic relationships are described.

Background and Purpose: The main purposes of this study was to revise the current taxonomy of the genus Troglocaris in the Dinarids in the light of molecular phylogenetic results from three major areas of disjunct distribution (Southern France, West Dinarids, and West Caucasus), and additionally to test the subfamily relationships between Paratyinae and Typhlatyinae in the Dinarids.
Materials and Methods: This study was performed on populations of the cave-dwelling shrimp Troglocaris from three disjunct areas of distribution: Southern France, Dinaric Karst and Western Caucasus using mitochondrial genes for 16S rRNA, cytochrome oxidase I and cytochrome oxidase II subunits. We combined mitochondrial data from shrimp populations to clarify the evolutionary relationship inside (within) the genus Troglocaris.
Results: Our results, based on phylogenetic analysis of three mitochondrial genes from 14 populations of the closely related atyid taxa, do not support
the monophyly of the genus Troglocaris. Moreover, new insights were introduced in the Atyidae subfamily status. At subfamily level, a difference in current taxonomy was observed which excluded the genus Spelaeocaris from Typhlatyinae and placed it inside Paratyinae. Additionally the closest relative to the French species Troglocaris inermis appears to be the surface-dwelling shrimp Atyaephyra desmaresti.
Conclusions: The separation of the oldest Western Troglocaris lineage from the Dinaro-Caucasian lineages is estimated to have occurred in the
Late Miocene. Also DNA sequence data suggest that Troglocaris hercegovinensis from South Herzegovina and Troglocaris kutaissiana complex from Western Caucasus are sister species.

The species Atyaephyra desmarestii (Millet, 1831) has a wide geographic distribution in freshwater habitats, rivers and lakes, spanning from North Africa to the Middle East, a large part of Europe and some Mediterranean islands. This wide distribution, together with the disjunct nature of freshwater populations, makes A. desmarestii a candidate taxon to undergo processes of cryptic speciation. To test this assumption, in the present study two mitochondrial genes (16S and COI) were used to examine the diversity between selected populations across the distribution range of this species. The data support three clearly distinguishable groups of haplotypes. The largest one includes the majority of the west European populations and the North African ones, belonging to Atyaephyra desmarestii desmarestii. Within this group the genetic composition found for the Portuguese specimens does not support the validity of Atyaephyra rosiana de Brito Capello, 1867 as a different species, and is therefore here proposed to represent a synonym of Atyaephyra desmarestii. The second European group includes two Greek populations which must be considered as a different species and are tentatively identified as Atyaephyra stankoi (Karaman, 1972) according to geographic distribution. This species-level distinction is supported by high genetic differences, although morphological differentiation is not clear at present. The third group comprises only one sequence from Iraq whose value of genetic variability for 16S could support A. mesopotamica Al-Adhub (or A. orientalis Bouvier) as a valid species. Unfortunately, there are no COI sequences available for this specimen that could be used to confirm its status.

Endemic atyids of southern Europe have been ascribed to Dugastella, and to subterranean Typhlatya and Troglocaris: Dugastella is epigean, and Typhlatya and Troglocaris are subterranean. An extensive collection from all centres of distribution in southern Europe (excepting the Caucasus) was morphologically examined. A taxonomic redefinition of the group, at different levels, is based on recently published and newly generated molecular phylogeny, whereas newly established taxa have also been morphologically defined. The accordance between the phylogenetic tree and the geographical distributions suggested that a re-evaluation of some traditionally used morphological characters should generate the most parsimonious solution: this enabled a novel taxonomic division. Gallocaris gen. nov. is erected for the French Troglocaris inermis Fage, 1937, which is more closely related to the epigean Dugastella valentina (Ferrer Galdiano, 1924) than to its supposed congeners. Both western Mediterranean Typhlatya species are closely related to their Caribbean congeners. All other European cave shrimps constitute a monophylum, Troglocaris, which is divisible into subgenera (already with available names): the holo-Dinaric Troglocaris (Troglocaris) Dormitzer, 1853, south-eastern mero-Dinaric Troglocaris (Troglocaridella) Babi{\'c}, 1922, and Troglocaris (Spelaeocaris) Matja\ši{\v c}, 1956, and the Caucasian Troglocaris (Xiphocaridinella) Sadovsky, 1930. Four new species are described: Troglocaris (Troglocaris) bosnica sp. nov., Troglocaris (Spelaeocaris) prasence sp. nov., Troglocaris (Spelaeocaris) kapelana sp. nov., and Troglocaris (Spelaeocaris) neglecta sp. nov. The distribution of all established species is shown, and the value of the morphological characters is discussed.

The remarkably discontinuous distribution of the cave shrimp genus Troglocaris in South France, West Balkans, and West Caucasus has long been considered a biogeographic enigma. To solve it, its phylogeny was reconstructed by analyzing sequences from two mitochondrial (cytochrome oxidase I and 16S rRNA) and one nuclear gene (28S rRNA) using maximum likelihood, parsimony and Bayesian inference. The genus was found to be polyphyletic because the French taxon T. inermis had no direct common ancestry with other Troglocaris taxa but was sister to the epigean freshwater atyid Dugastella valentina. All other Troglocaris species constituted a well-supported monophylum, the second cave shrimp genus Spelaeocaris nested within. The monophylum had a well-defined structure: (1) a clade restricted to the Dinaric area of the Western Balkans containing the type species T. anophthalmus along with some unnamed species, and (2) a geographically mixed clade split between the Caucasian T. kutaissiana species complex on one, and T. hercegovinensis, S. pretneri, plus an unnamed taxon on the other side. It was surprising to find the dichotomy between the Caucasian and one of the West-Balkan lineages so low in the phylogenetic hierarchy of the genus. Taking into account molecular rates of other decapods, we tentatively dated this split at 6\–11 Myr. This time is in agreement with the brackish and freshwater phase of the Paratethys thus allowing for a freshwater common ancestor of Caucasian and Dinaric cave shrimps. This would weaken the marine relicts hypothesis that has often been invoked to explain the distribution of freshwater cave species with close marine relatives.

In order to elucidate the distinction of Atyaephyra desmarestii subspecies (A. d. desmarestii, A. d. orientalis, A. d. stankoi and A. d. mesopotamica) and investigate their geographical distribution in Greece, the main morphological features and somatometric ratios were studied in numerous specimens collected from a dense station network of Greek fresh waters. Specimens from Belgium, Portugal, Albania and Turkey were also examined. Atyaephyra desmarestii was found in western and northern Greece while it was absent in eastern Greece, the Aegean and the Ionian islands. The comparison of the obtained data with those of the literature revealed a clearly overlapping variability of the main key morphological features among the four subspecies. The results of this study indicate that the current A. desmarestii subspecies are not valid on the basis of the used key features. There is only one very variable species with many ecophenotypes.
