The Biology of Caves and Other
Subterranean Habitats
THE BIOLOGY OF HABITATS SERIES
This attractive series of concise, affordable texts provides an integrated overview of the design,
physiology, and ecology of the biota in a given habitat, set in the context of the physical
environment. Each book describes practical aspects of working within the habitat, detailing the
sorts of studies which are possible. Management and conservation issues are also included.
The series is intended for naturalists, students studying biological or environmental science,
those beginning independent research, and professional biologists embarking on research in
a new habitat.

Preface to the Second Edition
1
We use subterranean in the sense of organisms living in natural spaces. The word subter-
ranean is also frequently applied to organisms that create their own spaces—especially mam-
mals such as mole rats, termites, and plant roots. The word hypogean is sometimes used in the
sense we use subterranean, but its use is uncommon, and we use enough uncommon words as
it is. There are many precedents for the way we use the word, such as the International Society
for Subterranean Biology and its journal Subterranean Biology.
vi PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION
A project of this magnitude was a burden on both of our families, and we are
especially grateful to our spouses, Gloria Chepko and Miran Pipan, for pro-
viding both understanding and support.
