The Biology of Caves and Other Subterranean Habitats
2019Caves and other subterranean habitats with their often strange (even bizarre) inhabitants have long been objects of fascination, curiosity, and debate. The question of how such organisms have evolved, and the relative roles of natural selection and genetic drift, has engaged subterranean biologists for decades.

The Reproductive Biology of the Cave Myotis (Myotis velifer)
Acta Chiropterologica, 2009(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) This study examines the anatomical structure, function and seasonal cyclicity of the male and female reproductive organs of the cave myotis (Myotis velifer) in Texas and southern Arizona. The data indicated that this is a monestrous, seasonally breeding species that stores spermatozoa in both sexes ...

Population Biology and Growth of Ozark Cavefish in Logan Cave National Wildlife Refuge, Arkansas
Environmental Biology of Fishes, 2001Ozark cavefish, Amblyopsis rosae, is a threatened species endemic to the Springfield Plateau of the Ozark Highlands in Arkansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma. One of the largest known Ozark cavefish populations, located in Logan Cave, Arkansas, was surveyed 25 times over a two-year period between 1993 and 1995.

Biospeleology, the study of organisms that live in caves, has a tremendous potential to inform many aspects of modern biology; yet this area of knowledge remains largely anchored in neo-Lamarckian views of the natural world in both its approaches and jargon.

Reproductive biology of a cave-associated population of the frog Rana palustris
Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1988Aspects of the reproductive biology of a trogloxene population of the pickerel frog, Rana palustris (Anura: Ranidae), were studied at a cave on the edge of the Ozark plateau in Missouri. Sexual dimorphism in body size was marked; there was almost no overlap in adult body size ranges, and the ratio of mean adult female snout–vent length (SVL) to adult ...

The chelicerate order Schizomida is represented in Western Australia by a single species, Schizomus vinei Harvey, from caves in the semi–arid Cape Range on the North West Cape peninsula. Schizomus vinei occurs in eight of 170 caves known from the range but is found only in areas where the relative humidity exceeds 92%.

The invertebrate cave fauna of Tasmania : ecology and conservation biology
1992The invertebrate cave fauna of Tasmania is reviewed, based on collections from more than 130 caves in 31 karst areas. These totals represent approximately 14% of the known caves and about one half of the cavernous karst areas in the State. The distributions, ecological and conservation status of all taxa are discussed.

Fifteen years ago the cave spider Meta menardi (Latreille, 1804) was known in Finland in two locations only. Partly due to extensive search it is to date known from 20 sites, all however located in the south-westernmost parts of the country. M. menardi is known to prefer stable and relatively warm subterranean habitats. Our temperature data from a cave

Biology of Spelungula cavernicola Forster (Gradungulidae), a New Zealand cave-dwelling spider
1993Spelungula cavernicola, New Zealand's largest and only protected native spider, was studied for one year in caves in the Honeycomb Hill System, Oparara Valley, near Karamea, South Island. These spiders were found mainly in complete darkness within 10 or 20 m of a cave entrance, but were also present deep in the caves.
