Has anyone come across experimental studies on the impact of guano on invertebrates? I'm referring to research, for instance, on the development of eggs or larvae. I vaguely recall seeing something similar regarding snails, but I'm unable to locate it. I would appreciate any assistance
From Google Scholar, one of it has the information that you are looking for.

Are looking for the impact of the removal of guano for use as a nitrogen fertilizer? That will have an impact on the invertebrates as its habitat is damage (also the bacteria and fungi that form the base of guano could be affected). In the top is a pdf article, Guanophilic invertebrate ecology and conservation in caves, by Timothy A. Moulds that address that topic. Guano is always a very interesting topic. So many things inside and around.
