Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize, the three countries covered by this study, contain one of the most diverse cavernicole
faunas of any region in the world. This remarkable diversity may be explained
in large part by the existence of extensive cave systems in a wide variety
of habitats: deserts, high montane forests, and lowland tropical forests.
A total of almost 2,000 species, including 279 troglobites, and known from
caves in these three countries. [from the introduction]
