F\u00f6rra \u00e5ret uppmanades skolbarn att gr\u00e4va i jorden f\u00f6r att leta efter sm\u00e5kryp som skalbaggar, gr\u00e5suggor och maskar, inom ramen f\u00f6r experimentet \u201dCatch that bug!\u201d. Samtidigt deltog astronauter som gick ESA:s underjordiska utbildningskurs CAVES i det globala experimentet fr\u00e5n djupet under den italienska \u00f6n Sardinien.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Under CAVES 2013 samarbetade ESA-astronauten Paolo Nespoli med biologen Paolo Marcia f\u00f6r att kartl\u00e4gga en del av Sos Jocos-grottan. Trots det st\u00e4ndiga m\u00f6rkret hittade de 25 arter inom ett omr\u00e5de p\u00e5 endast 20 cm i sidor. Totalt hittades 124 kryp, vilket tyder p\u00e5 en populationst\u00e4thet p\u00e5 \u00f6ver 3 miljarder djur per kvadratkilometer.<\/p>\n

\"Life
Liv som uppt\u00e4cktes under CAVES 2013-kampanjen<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

En av de 25 arter som identifierades var ett s\u00e4llsynt, gr\u00e5suggliknande djur som aldrig tidigare hade observerats i denna grotta. Arten uppt\u00e4cktes f\u00f6rst 2009 och \u00e4r den enda arten i sin familj som kan leva b\u00e5de i grottor och ovan jord.<\/p>\n

En annan s\u00e4llsynt art som astronauterna uppt\u00e4ckte under CAVES2013 var en skalbagge som endast f\u00f6rekommer i grottor p\u00e5 Sardinien. Nu n\u00e4r biologerna har tre exemplar av skalbaggen kan de genomf\u00f6ra en DNA-analys f\u00f6r att ta reda p\u00e5 var den placerar sig i evolutionstr\u00e4det.<\/p>\n

Man hittade \u00e4ven ett 4 mm l\u00e5ngt, gr\u00e5suggliknande djur som tillh\u00f6r en ny art som uppt\u00e4cktes av Paolo Marcia f\u00f6r tre \u00e5r sedan. Tack vare astronauternas insatser kommer detta djur snart att f\u00e5 ett vetenskapligt namn.<\/p>\n
