We participated at the “Cave organisms workshop” held within the 9 th annual meeting of the EFOR network in Paris. The workshop was organized by Sylvie Rétaux, Nicholas Foulkes and Cristiano Bertolucci, and aimed to give an overview of cave-related research in Europe, form new contacts and collaborations, as well as identify potential sources of funding to build a research network for the field. We presented a review of work on the Asellus aquaticus model organism, an important part of our research efforts. Finally, all participants agreed that the workshop was successful and the plan is to organize a similar meeting in the context of EFOR next year in Paris.
