Trogloxene
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Trogloxenes (if in terrestrial environment referred to as trogloxenes, in aquatic environment, referred to as stygoxenes) are species which live close to caves or at the very entrance of the cave[1]. Cliff swallows, cave swallows, cave swiftlets, reticulated pythons, rats, bats, bears, raccoons and humans are considered to be trogloxenes. They are also called cave guests, because they use caves, but cannot complete their life cycle in caves only.
