Yearly microbial cycle of human exposed surfaces in show caves [PDF]

open access: yesSubterranean Biology, 2019
The human impact upon the subterranean microbiomes is not only a peril to the cave environment but might also affect future visitors. We focused on the changes that humans induced on the surfaces they came in direct or indirect contact with inside two ...

Contrasting Approaches to the Study of Subterranean Life: Biospeleology and Speleobiology

open access: yesActa Carsologica, 2023
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 ...

İkiz İncirli Çengirek as an Example for Caves Formed Under the Control of Epikarstic Zone (Marmaris–Muğla)

open access: yesCoğrafya Dergisi, 2021
During the cave research in Bozburun Peninsula, it was understood that İkiz İncirli Çengirek (cave), one of the many caves discovered, was formed by speleogenetic processes at the epikarstic zone.

Carnivore impact on cave bear bones and the analysis of their dispersion. Case study: UrŞilor cave (NW Romania)

open access: yesActa Carsologica, 2016
In taphonomy, the study of carnivore modification of fossil bones and the analysis of their dispersion represent the best approach to assessing the extent of bone modification and displacement for a given bone assemblage.

The Cyrilka Cave-the longest crevice-type cave in Czechia: structural controls, genesis, and age [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The Cyrilka Cave is the second longest pseudokarst cave and the longest crevice-type cave in Czechia. Developed within the headscarp area of a deep-seated landslide, the cave became a focus of scientific research in recent years when new passages were ...

Aeromycology: studies of fungi in aeroplankton [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Air is a natural environment for spores of many genera and species of fungi. Despite its small size and a significant dispersion they have a great impact on human health and different areas of our activities, such as agricultural production. The study on

Assessing preservation priorities of caves and karst areas using the frequency of endemic cave-dwelling species

open access: yesInternational Journal of Speleology, 2018
Endemic and rare species as bioindicators of habitat vulnerability were used to develop protection and management plans for biotope prioritization (mainly islands habitats, lava tubes or groundwaters).
