Abstract
Ice caves are extreme environments where low temperatures significantly contribute in shaping the structural pattern of terrestrial and aquatic biocoenosis. Extreme dwellers inhabiting ice caves range from troglobiotic beetles to stygobites, crustaceans, insects and acarina which show resistance to low temperatures. Many species are rare and endemics strictly tied to cold microclimates habitat conditions. We here provide a review of the environmental settings, habitats and recent and extant fauna in ice caves from Europe, Canada and North America.
