BACKGROUND The increasing human impact in Romanian caves raises the urgency of publishing a correct database of the strictly-adapted cave fauna. Previous attempts at indexing cave fauna and classifying caves by using their fauna opened many questions regarding the use of an incomplete list of cave species and mixed lists of troglobionts/stygobionts with troglophiles/stygophiles for ranking caves with priority for protection. It has also become obvious that there is a need to publish a list of Romanian cave species that are under threat. Cave species in Romania (and elsewhere) are endemic on small ranges, are unique and must be considered as important units for conservation. A cave must be equally protected if it has one or more rare and strictly endemic cave species. Although not exhaustive, we here provide the first checklist of Romanian troglobionts/stygobionts developed in the framework of the DARKFOOD and GROUNDWATERISK projects, coordinated by the "Emil Racovita" Institute of Speleology, Cluj-Napoca, Romania. The GIS application was used to complement the checklist of cave species with data on caves and surface environments above the caves. Until complete data on species diversity and population sizes are made available for each cave, measures of conservation can be implemented, based on the presence/absence of cave species, while classifications of caves for protection, based on the number of species, must be avoided. We also propose a list of Romanian caves with fauna that are under threat and a tentative Red List of Romanian troglobiont/stygobionts. NEW INFORMATION This is the first database with identified troglobiont and stygobiont species of Romania, with a critical analysis of their distribution inside the country. A list of caves that need protection for their rare and unique species and a tentative Red List of Romanian cave fauna are also added. A total of 173 species were identified, of which 77 troglobionts and 96 stygobionts are currently registered in 366 caves. The database is divided into two parts, one part with a list of troglobionts, their revised systematic position, cave name, cave code and geographic region; and the second part with the same information on stygobionts. The database represents the contribution of many active researchers, who are the authors of this paper and of review publications of many other authors of the "Emil Racoviță" Institute of Speleology.

罗马尼亚洞穴无脊椎动物数据库，附有洞穴物种红色名录和热点/冷点洞穴列表。

背景技术罗马尼亚洞穴中人类影响的增加提高了发布严格适应洞穴动物群的正确数据库的紧迫性。以前对洞穴动物群进行索引和通过使用它们的动物群对洞穴进行分类的尝试引发了许多问题，这些问题涉及使用不完整的洞穴物种列表和 troglobionts/stygobionts 与 troglobines/stygophiles 的混合列表来对洞穴进行优先保护。很明显，有必要公布一份受到威胁的罗马尼亚洞穴物种清单。罗马尼亚（和其他地方）的洞穴物种在小范围内是地方性的，是独一无二的，必须被视为重要的保护单位。如果一个洞穴拥有一种或多种稀有且严格特有的洞穴物种，则它必须受到同等保护。虽然不详尽，我们在这里提供了罗马尼亚 troglobionts/stygobionts 的第一个清单，该清单是在 DARKFOOD 和 GROUNDWATERISK 项目的框架内开发的，由罗马尼亚克卢日纳波卡的“Emil Racovita”洞穴学研究所协调。GIS 应用程序被用来补充洞穴物种清单，其中包含洞穴和洞穴上方地表环境的数据。在获得每个洞穴的物种多样性和种群规模的完整数据之前，可以根据洞穴物种的存在/不存在实施保护措施，而必须避免根据物种数量对洞穴进行分类保护. 我们还提出了一份罗马尼亚洞穴清单，其中列出了受到威胁的动物群，以及一份暂定的罗马尼亚穴状体/柱状体红色名录。新信息 这是第一个确定罗马尼亚 troglobiont 和 stygobiont 物种的数据库，并对它们在该国的分布进行了批判性分析。还增加了需要保护其稀有和独特物种的洞穴清单和罗马尼亚洞穴动物群的暂定红色名录。共鉴定出 173 种，其中 77 种 troglobiots 和 96 stygobionts 目前登记在 366 个洞穴中。数据库分为两部分，一部分是穴居人的名单、修订后的系统位置、洞穴名称、洞穴代码和地理区域；第二部分具有相同的关于 stygobionts 的信息。该数据库代表了许多活跃的研究人员的贡献，他们是本文的作者以及“Emil Racovişă”的许多其他作者的评论出版物
