- Its major discharge points, Comal and San Marcos Springs, both host endemic species found nowhere else: Comal's include the Comal Springs riffle beetle, the amphipod Stygobromus pecki, and the eyed, surface-dwelling Comal Springs salamander (Eurycea sp.), while the San Marcos pool holds the blind, groundwater-dwelling salamanders Typhlomolge (Eurycea) rathbuni and T. robusta, adapted to the lightless conduit habitat
This sourceLongley's survey of the Edwards Aquifer fauna — 'at least 35 to 40 species of troglobites, many endemic' — which places the blind salamanders Typhlomolge rathbuni and T. robusta in the San Marcos pool and records the amphipod Stygobromus pecki among Comal's stygobites; the Comal Springs riffle beetle and the eyed Comal Springs salamander post-date this 1981 paper and come from Sharp and Banner's 1997 account.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
