This website is for sharing information and literature about cave biology or biospeleology, speleobiology, subterranean biology, groundwater biology, and related subjects such as biogeography, ecology, systematics, and evolutionary studies. Cave biologists and cavers are invited to send me files to post. Email me at speodesmus@gmail.com
