#FlashFloods May Support One of the World’s Rarest Fish https://eos.org/articles/flash-floods-may-support-one-of-the-worlds-rarest-fish
"Only a few hundred #DevilsHolePupfish live in an isolated pool in the #desert, where occasional floodwaters roil their habitat... The #fish have a tangled relationship with the sediment that #floods add to their natural fishbowl... Floods disturb the ecosystem in the short term but could generate a greater food source for the #pupfish in the long run."

Endangered #DevilsHolePupfish is one of the most inbred animals known https://phys.org/news/2022-11-endangered-devils-hole-pupfish-inbred.html
"Confined to a single deep limestone cave in #Nevada's #MojaveDesert, 263 of them live in water that hovers around 93F/34C year-round, with food resources so scarce that they are always on the edge of starvation, and with oxygen levels so low that most other #fish would die immediately. The #pupfish, Cyprinodon diabolis, live in the smallest habitat of any known vertebrate."
