Biospeleology,
Principal References

INTRODUCTION

This is an initial listing of principal references in Biospeleology. The intent is to provide a selected list of primary sources to those who are relatively unfamiliar with karst research.

Listings such as this one are inherently biased due to the background of the persons who compile them. Undoubtably many worthy publications have not been placed on this list. For this, we apologize, and hope that the presented list will be of use to those who view it. We actively encourage the submiusson of addenda including suitable publications. Contact KWI to find out how to add to the list. Contributors to date include: Dr. David Culver (American University).
