| Abstract |
Serpuloideans, bryozoans and brachiopods, which are among the most representative sessile skeletonised invertebrates in marine caves, are examined herein from four selected submerged marine caves: the Ficarella Cave (NW Sicily, Tyrrhenian Sea), and the Gymnasium, Mazzere and Granchi Caves (SE Sicily, Ionian Sea). A large number of the identified species are already known as typical representatives of cave communities or, at least, have been already found in submarine caves. In order to better understand the composition of these communities, a categorisation of cave species into ecological groups is proposed herein, based mainly on literature data: 1) Cave species; 2) Sciaphilic and/or “coralligenous” species; 3) Deep-water species; 4) Shelf species; 5) Shallow shelf species; 6) Unplaced species. The use of these different ecological groups is proposed as a tool for the analysis and interpretation of thanatocoenoses and fossil communities from caves. |
