Anchialine
(from Greek meaning "near the sea") refers to coastal caves formed in limestone
or volcanic rock that are flooded with seawater. This is Dr. Tom
Iliffe's site for information about Anchialine Caves and Cave Biology. A
must see for the scientific mind.
BCI's mission is to teach people the value of bats, to protect
and conserve critical bat habitats, and to advance scientific knowledge
through research. All this while using a win-win solution that will
benefit both bats and people.
This site is dedicated to exploring
the world of cave biology (biospeleology), ranging from completely
cave-adapted species (troglobites) of fishes, salamanders, and invertebrates,
to troglophiles (animals that may be somewhat adapted to caves, but which may
be found in similar habitats), and trogloxenes (animals that roost in caves,
such as bats and cave crickets).
