Patterns of cave biodiversity and endemism in the Appalachians and Interior Plateau of Tennessee, USA

Using species distribution data, we developed a georeferenced database of troglobionts (cave-obligate species) in Tennessee to examine spatial patterns of species richness and endemism, including >2000 records for 200 described species.
