Main Cave adapted animals are classic examples of regressive evolution, losing their eyes and pigment over time. Gains in other sensory systems compensate for the absence of vision. The bases for these developmental changes are genetic. For these reasons, cave animals are an important resource to study the genetics and development of the visual system and other sensory modalities. Their study can help shed light on current problems in medicine and biology. Table of Contents Main The Mission Cave Biology Facts Research Programs Planned Expeditions ... Email to Webmaster

Our Caves and Subterranean Habitats Come explore the subterranean wonders of California. The diversity of the state's underground habitats is unsurpassed. We have sea caves, mud caves, lava tubes, talus caves, and wind caves, as well as the typical caves in limestone and marble. Click on this menu for a spectacular photo-tour of these realms. As you will see, the formation and occurrence of caves depends upon the interaction of rock types and climate within the context of the landscape. Where these factors combine favorably caves of a given type occur. Speleologists recognize many cave types and have proposed various schemes of categorizing them. For this web site we use a scheme of realms emphasizing how the caves were formed rather than rock type. © 1999 Oakland Museum of California Credits

Cave Biology Facts Cave Biology Facts: Cave vertebrates are excellent models to study the genetics of abnormal eye development and metabolic variation. Retinal and lens defects in cave fishes are similar to those seen in humans and to those produced experimentally in the zebrafish development model. Karst systems are critical environmental resources; 40% of our drinking water passes through cave and karst systems. Cave fishes are sensitive indicators of environmental quality. Eye loss in cave fishes is the classic example of regressive evolution, an important phenomenon whose mechanism is still inadequately understood. Cave species have evolved independently, but converge towards a common theme. Their study brings the power of experimental replication to evolutionary biology and ecology, a power formerly restricted to laboratory science.

12. The Biospeleology In Romania About past and present cave biology research in Romania, including information about specific caves. http://www.uib.no/People/nglbn/bio.htm

The biospeleology in Romania General informations The first biospeleological researches in Romania were started by the Austrian and Hungarian zoologists, especially in Transylvania and Banat, while these regions were at that time under austro-hungarian occupation. They studied mainly the beetles, but neither the spiders, nor the myriapods were forgotten. In reality, the flourishing period for the Romanian biospeleology begins with the creation of the Speleological Institute in Cluj, in 1920. The triumvirate formed by Emil Racovita as manager, Rene Jeannel (from France) and Piere Alfred Chappuis (from Switzerland) as deputy managers started a research program covering the romanian territory and also other European and African countries. From biogeographical point o view the territory of the country can be divided in 5 biospeleological provices: the Oriental Carpathians as far as the valley of Olt, the Meridionals Carpathians between Olt, Timis and Cerna valleys, the Banat Mountains, the Apuseni Mountains and, Dobrogea. The karstificable surface represents 1.9 % of the romanian territory and its geographical distribution is unequal. This state is valuable also for the underground faunal distribution.

AIR GEOLOGY VEGETATION WATER ... HOME Wildlife Overview Bears Amphibians, Reptiles, and Fish Mammals ... Birds Cave Biology Wildlife Links and Lists Cave Biology People usually visit caves for the adventure of a new subterranean world or to see beautiful cave formations. But, below the feet and over the heads of visitors to caves are surprising and varied animals that make caves their home. Biologists divide cave-dwelling animals into three groups: Troglobites, which are restricted to caves; Troglophiles, who live in caves and on the surface; and Trogloxenes, who regularly visit caves but can not complete their life cycles in subterranean environments. Troglobites are often very specialized animals adapted to live in just one cave or a group of caves. Their adaptations may include no eyes or pigment, elongated appendages and enhanced tactile senses. These animals are very sensitive to change and disturbance. Troglobites or their food supply, can be trampled by caver visitors. Water pollution and surface developments may also poison cave environments. Bats are Trogloxenes, but they too are very sensitive to disturbance. They evolved to live in caves in complete darkness and silence. Unwitting cave visitors bring lights and make noises terrifying colonies of bats. Today a significant percentage of animals on the Endangered Species list is cave dwelling bats and invertebrates.
