Inhospitable lava flows, high altitude stone deserts and subterranean habitats in the Hawaiian islands are now know to support a considerable variety of endemic arthropod species. Current studies of these organisms are revealing a remarkable range of morphological, behavioral and physiological adaptations to the physically extreme environments they inhabit.
