INTRODUCTION Cave Biology BIOSPELEOLOGY Classification of Cavernicoles (Cave Organisms) The Cavernicoles have been divided into 3 major types (A) Troglobites: Species which live wholly and permanently in the dark zone of caves. Mostly are albinic because camouflage colouring is of no use. (B) Troglophiles: Species which live permanently in the dark zone, some of which can live in a suitable habitat away from the cave. (C) Trogloxene: Species which visit or take shelter but do not complete their whole life cycle in caves. They go to the outer world periodically for some requirements, usually food. Further it can be divided as accidental trogloxene and habitual trogloxene. The affix terminology is sufficient to recongnize them.

Main Cave adapted animals are classic examples of regressive evolution, losing their eyes and pigment over time. Gains in other sensory systems compensate for the absence of vision. The bases for these developmental changes are genetic. For these reasons, cave animals are an important resource to study the genetics and development of the visual system and other sensory modalities. Their study can help shed light on current problems in medicine and biology. Table of Contents Main The Mission Cave Biology Facts Research Programs Planned Expeditions ... Email to Webmaster

The Ring of Cenotes is the only surface expression of the 65 million year old meteorite impact crater which caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. The story of this expedition, "Watery Graves of the Maya", is recounted in the October 2003 issue of National Geographic Magazine and on the National Geographic website.

Nearly all of our caves have developed in limestone bedrock. (Map courtesy of C. Pius Weibel and Samuel V. Panno, Illinois State Geological Survey - see literature section below for complete map citation [Top of Page] Terminology W ithin caves a diverse biota may be found, exhibiting varying degrees of adaptation to the subterranean environment. Accidental species, which fall, wander, or are washed into caves, do not linger long in this environment. These animals either return to the surface, or die in the caves - where they provide an important source of nutrients for the cave community. Trogloxenes occur commonly in caves, but must leave the cave at some point in their life cycle, typically for feeding. Species which occur in caves and can complete their entire life cycle there, but which are also found in similar habitats above ground, are referred to as

The Cave Biology Research Group (CBRG) at New York University contains evolutionists, developmental biologists, conservationists and educators. Current projects include comparative genomic mapping to find the genes responsible for eye regression and depigmentation in different populations of cave fishes, phylogenetic studies, and educational projects. For information about the CBRG, e-mail to rb4@scires.nyu.edu Details of the research rationale for the laboratory of Richard Borowsky (Department of Biology, NYC, NY 10003) are as follows: Research Interests and Rationale: The Evolution of Troglomorphy Regressive Evolution The Genetics of Complex Traits The Importance of Replication in Evolutionary Studies My laboratory currently concentrates on the study of cave fishes, viewing them as powerful models for the investigation of interesting problems in evolutionary biology, including speciation, the genetics of trait evolution, and regressive evolution. About eighty species of cave fishes are presently known world-wide, and the rate of discovery of new ones is accelerating. While these species fall into a number of very distinct and different fish families, they share a set of characteristics typical of all cave animals. The most obvious of these traits are reduced eyes and pigment, but they also tend to share other heightened extraoptic senses ( e.g

Birds Cave Biology Wildlife Links and Lists Cave Biology People usually visit caves for the adventure of a new subterranean world or to see beautiful cave formations. But, below the feet and over the heads of visitors to caves are surprising and varied animals that make caves their home. Biologists divide cave-dwelling animals into three groups: Troglobites, which are restricted to caves; Troglophiles, who live in caves and on the surface; and Trogloxenes, who regularly visit caves but can not complete their life cycles in subterranean environments. Troglobites are often very specialized animals adapted to live in just one cave or a group of caves. Their adaptations may include no eyes or pigment, elongated appendages and enhanced tactile senses. These animals are very sensitive to change and disturbance. Troglobites or their food supply, can be trampled by caver visitors. Water pollution and surface developments may also poison cave environments. Bats are Trogloxenes, but they too are very sensitive to disturbance. They evolved to live in caves in complete darkness and silence. Unwitting cave visitors bring lights and make noises terrifying colonies of bats. Today a significant percentage of animals on the Endangered Species list is cave dwelling bats and invertebrates.

UTAH CAVE BIOLOGY When asked about what lives in caves, most people respond 'bats'. However, many organisms live in caves, including beetles, spiders, crayfish, fish, salamanders, and more! Like bats, many creatures spend time in caves but must return to the surface in order to do certain things, such as finding food. Other creatures are able to spend their lives in caves, but can also be found on the surface. Yet others are found only in caves and nowhere else. Species that spend their entire lives in caves often exhibit specialized features as a result of many generations of subterranean living. Some of these features include the loss of pigment and eyes, the acquisition or exaggeration of non-visual sensory structures, and the elongation of the appendages. These cave-adapted species are often vulnerable to disturbance, causing population declines or even extinction, for several reasons. First, as a consequence of living a life underground where food supplies are often limited, many cave species have very low population numbers and reproduce infrequently Second, many species are found in only one or a few cave locations; limiting a pollution to a single cave could cause some cave species to go extinct if humans were to enter and change their environment, the cave temperature was to change, or if the cave were to become polluted! In Utah, not much is known about what lives in the subterranean environment. Probably the most is known about bats; eighteen bat species have been found in Utah, with at least five of these species known to occur in caves and mines. Many of the spiders and insects you might find in Utah caves are either accidental visitors, or are seeking shelter from outside conditions. There are, however, at least a few known cave-adapted creatures described from Utah caves. One example would be Cytobunus ungulatus madhousensis, an arachnid from the group known as 'harvestmen', which is found in only a few caves near Provo, Utah.
