Abstract
- Tăuşoare cave is located in Rodnei mountains, Romania, being the deepest cave in the country. It has 413.5 m depth and 20 km galleries lenght. The cave fauna is represented by aerobic bacteria, invertebrates from Phylum Arthropoda, the most important being the endemic diplopod Romanosoma birtei, five bat species and beech marten, who only visits the cave during winter in search for food. The human impact on the fauna is rather small due to the severe protection regime of the cave. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
