Contrasting Approaches to the Study of Subterranean Life: Biospeleology and Speleobiology
The study of subterranean life in general and cave life in particular has been given several names, most especially biospeleology and speleobiology. Historically, biospeleology came first, and signalled that biological study was part of speleology, the ...
