The Biology of Caves and other Subterranean HabitatsThe Biology of Caves and other Subterranean Habitats
offers a concise but comprehensive introduction to cave ecology. While
there is an emphasis on the organisms that dominate this unique
environment, conservation and management aspects are also considered.
The book includes a global range of examples and case studies from both
caves and non-cave subterranean habitats; it also provides a clear
explanation of specialized terms used by speleologists. This accessible
text will appeal to researchers new to the field and to the many
professional ecologists and conservation practitioners requiring a
concise but authoritative overview. Its engaging style will also make
it suitable for senior undergraduate and graduate students taking
courses in cave and subterranean biology.
