| Research Abstract |
A principle of this study is explore the rare and endangered small invertebrate in the inland caves and coastal waters and to conduct a taxonomic description, to clarify its systematic position and ecology. Based on the results, it should be publicize widely for their conservation and protection of their habitat. Particularly, the true-cave dwelling species, such as amphipods and diplura were collected, their current habitat and distributions were confirmed. Other aquatic and semi-terrestrial small other invertebrates were also collected, samples are stored and registered in the public natural history museum for further studies.
