It is clear that the authors know their way around the literature and are familiar with all of the main aspects of subterranean biology. This is probably the best introduction yet written and is an essential source for all interested in subterranean (emphatically not just cave) biology. Cave and Karst Science, British Cave Association The enthusiasm of the authors of this exciting book shines through the text...an accessible and interesting account of a set of habitats. Bulletin of the British Ecological Society It is written in a clear and engaging style...If you are only going to have one book on cave biology, this is the one to have. TREE Culver and Pipan have hit the mark...overall the book is nicely assembled. Integrative and Comparative Biology The Biology of Caves and Other Subterranean Habitats is a scientific book that will be of considerable value to speleobiologists interested in cave biology.
