Cave Ecology
Cave organisms are the ‘monsters’ of the underground world and studying them invariably raises interesting questions about the ways evolution has equipped them to survive in permanent darkness and low-energy environments. Undertaking ecological studies in caves and other subterranean habitats is not only challenging because they are difficult to access, but also because the domain is so different from what we know from the surface, with no plants at the base of food chains and with a nearly constant microclimate year-round. The research presented here answers key questions such as how a constant environment can produce the enormous biodiversity seen below ground, what adaptations and pec...
Creatures in a Dark Cave
Dark caves are home to some of the world's most interesting creatures. Many of these creatures are highly adapted to living in their dark environment. Readers will learn about the different species of animals that live in and seek temporary shelter in dark caves throughout the world and the special adaptations that many of these animals have. Fact boxes provide readers with additional information to the main text, and full-color photographs depict these animals in their wild habitats.
Cave Canem
Lavishly illustrated, this book examines both written and archaeological sources, particularly visual evidence in the form of sculptures, coins, mosaics, wall paintings and decorated everyday items in order to shed light on animals in Roman culture.
Cave Animals
Describes caves, the different kinds of animals that can be found in them, and their ecological importance.
Cave Life
Discusses the plants and animals that live in caves. Includes the peacock butterfly, cave cricket, and Natterer's bat.
Home Sweet Cave
This informative title explores what a cave is and the various types that are used by animals. Large photographs are used to show the different animals that dwell in caves like bats, olms, spiders, cavefish and more. Each page spread has a simple sentence followed by facts about the animal.

Vampire Bats, Giant Insects, and Other Mysterious Animals of the Darkest Caves
How does a blind fish find food? Can a giant centipede eat a bat for dinner? Caves are home to unique and bizarre creatures. Cave dwelling animals have found amazing ways to survive in complete darkness. Although the food supply is low and the environment can be toxic, many species thrive in the darkest caves. Author Ana Maria Rodríguez explores these remarkable creatures and how they survive in one of the most extreme environments on Earth.
Encyclopedia of Caves
Encyclopedia of Caves, Third Edition, provides detailed background information to anyone with a serious interest in caves. This includes students, both undergraduate and graduate, in the earth, biological and environmental sciences, and consultants, environmental scientists, land managers and government agency staff whose work requires them to know something about caves and the biota that inhabit them. Caves touch on many scientific interests in geology, climate science, biology, hydrology, archaeology, and paleontology, as well as more popular interests in sport caving and cave exploration. Case studies and descriptions of specific caves selected for their special features and public interest are also included. This book will appeal to these audiences by providing in-depth essays written by expert authors chosen for their expertise in their assigned subject. - Features 14 new chapters and 13 completely rewritten chapters - Contains beautifully illustrated content, with more than 500 color images of cave life and features - Provides extensive bibliographies that allow readers to access their subject of interest in greater depth
Adaptation and Natural Selection in Caves
Their work reveals the advantages of caves for studying natural selection: the highly simplified habitats found underground serve as a natural laboratory for the evolutionary biologist, and the distinctive morphological features of cave fauna provide a wealth of data on evolutionary history and natural selection.
