EMILE G. RACOVITZA (1868–1947): HIS VIEWS ON THE ADVANCEMENT OF BIOSPELEOLOGY ARE STILL USEFUL TODAY
Travaux de l'Institut de Speologie Emile RacovitzaThe views of EMILE G. RACOVITZA proposed in his Essay on biospeleological problems (1907) represent a scientific revolution. The major contribution of RACOVITZA to the development of biospeleology, as modern research, is exemplified through excerpts from
