Directory of e-mail addresses and/or Home Pages of biospeleology researchers.

Because this is a field where they have made and continue to make valuable contributions, amateurs (in the proper sense of the word), are included as well as professional investigators affiliated with research institutions. I would like to make this directory as comprehensive as possible, and invite anyone working on any aspect of biospeleology to send their details to

If using the email links here, note that the address in your mail program will have to be edited. Simply remove the "*AT*" and replace with "@". This is a simple anti-spam measure which may be effective.
