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 peculiarities allow subterranean organisms to thrive, and how they are affected by the constraints of their environment. This book is divided into six main parts, which address: the habitats of cave animals; their complex diversity; the environmental factors that support that diversity; individual case studies of cave ecosystems; and of the conservation challenges they face; all of which culminate in proposals for future research directions. Given its breadth of coverage, it offers an essential refe | | 出版日期 | Book 2018 | | 关键词 | Biospeleology; Cave Biodiversity; Cave Ecosystems; Speleology; Subterranean Ecology; Subterranean Organis | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-98852-8 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-98852-8Series ISSN 0070-8356 Series E-ISSN 2196-971X | | issn_series | 0070-8356 | | copyright | Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2018 |
