Reis Biological Station Faculty Robert D. Aldridge , Ph.D. (University of New Mexico) is interested in the role of physiology, ecology and phylogeny in the evolution of reproductive cycles in snakes. Specifically, he examines the role of pituitary hormones and sex steroids in the seasonal occurrence of mating behavior, development of secondary sexual characteristics and gametogenesis. Dr. Aldridge compares the reproductive annual cycles of temperate and tropical snakes to determine the seasonal patterns of hormone production and frequency of reproduction and liter size and correlate these parameters with seasonal activity patterns and nutrition. Dr. Aldridge served as the director of the Reis Biological Station from 1976 to 1981, and has taught Herpetology and Natural History of the Vertebrate at the station. He is a member of the faculty of the Department of Biology at Saint Louis University. Ted Anderson , Ph.D. (Saint Louis University) is an avian ecologist whose research has centered primarily on the reproductive strategy and community ecology of birds. Much of his research has been on the House Sparrow, and he is currently working on a book on the biology of this ubiquitous species. At the station he has taught Field Ornithology. He is a Professor of Biology at McKendree College, where he has taught for the past 27 years. He has also held an NAS Research Exchange Fellowship to the Institute of Ecology of the Polish Academy of Science near Warsaw.

The Cave Biology Research Group (CBRG) at New York University contains evolutionists, developmental biologists, conservationists and educators. Current projects include comparative genomic mapping to find the genes responsible for eye regression and depigmentation in different populations of cave fishes, phylogenetic studies, and educational projects. For information about the CBRG, e-mail to rb4@scires.nyu.edu Details of the research rationale for the laboratory of Richard Borowsky (Department of Biology, NYC, NY 10003) are as follows: Research Interests and Rationale: The Evolution of Troglomorphy Regressive Evolution The Genetics of Complex Traits The Importance of Replication in Evolutionary Studies My laboratory currently concentrates on the study of cave fishes, viewing them as powerful models for the investigation of interesting problems in evolutionary biology, including speciation, the genetics of trait evolution, and regressive evolution. About eighty species of cave fishes are presently known world-wide, and the rate of discovery of new ones is accelerating. While these species fall into a number of very distinct and different fish families, they share a set of characteristics typical of all cave animals. The most obvious of these traits are reduced eyes and pigment, but they also tend to share other heightened extraoptic senses ( e.g

This site is specialized on easy and comfortable to visit caves Cave photography Cave pictures Cave terminology Formation of cave cave formation begins when rainwater absorbs carbon dioxide as it falls through the atmosphere. Rain water must have carbon dioxide to become acidic. It must be acidic to chemically react to the limestone bedrock. Rainwater is absorbed by the soil into the ground Geology of caves a cave is a natural opening in the ground extending beyond the zone of light and large enough to permit the entry of man. Occurring in a wide variety of rock types and caused by widely differing geological processes, caves range in size from single small rooms to interconnecting passages many miles long.

The SLL promotes research and education in the biology of western ecosystems, cave biology, astronomy, and archeology through hands-on experience. History of the Selman Living Laboratory A grant from the Oklahoma State Department of Tourism and Recreation has provided funds for UCO to purchase the Selman Cave System located on the Selman Ranch approximately 8 miles SW of Freedom in Woodward County, OK. Mrs. Betty Selman has also donated 320 acres and several associated caves in the same area as the purchased cave system. The land and caves will provide the site for an Outdoor Living Laboratory / Field Station. Plans are being made to construct a field station to support the research and educational activities of groups at the SLL. The SLL station will be located in the gypsum mixed-grass plains region of Oklahoma where very few floristic, faunistc, protistan, fungal or microbial investigations have been conducted. This region is also archeologically intriguing because many Native American artifacts have been found there. Archeologists have investigated sites surrounding the SLL on nearby ranches. This area is also interesting from geological and historical perspectives.

Diving Updates Image Gallery Exploration History ... Science WOODVILLE KARST PLAIN PROJECT WKPP Diving Updates Image Gallery Exploration ... Comments An Introduction to the Troglobitic Cave Fauna of the Woodville Karst Plain by Brett Dodson The subterranean systems of the Woodville Karst Plain (WKP) are covered by a ceiling of limestone and come in contact with the atmosphere by way of springs , and sinks , pools of permanent water resulting from partial structural collapse of underground systems. Unlike conventional open water systems, the main environmental parameters dominating these aquatic caves are the absence of light, relatively constant temperatures, low levels of dissolved oxygen, and a limited primary food supply These caves are host to a select group of animals that live out their entire life cycles in this perpetual darkness and are easily recognized by certain anatomical adaptations such as eyes ranging from small to non-existent, lack of pigmentation, and appendages that have undergone considerable elongation. Although it is not uncommon to see other animals within these systems such as fishes, frogs, turtles, alligators and snakes, they are not obliged to remain, they can and usually do spend all or part of their lives outside.

BIOLOGY OF CAVES - Background Unlike the surface environment that is very changeable, cave environments are constant. It is a world of total darkness, constant temperature and high humidity. The animals that live in caves must not only adapt to these conditions, they must live in an environment where there is very little to eat. The population of animals living in caves is very small compared to the animal life on the surface. Consequently, a number of cave animals are on the endangered species list. This means that they are in danger of becoming extinct. The Cave Food Chain All life depends on sunlight, even in the darkest areas of a cave. No green plants grow here because they need light for photosynthesis. On the surface, green plants make food. Cave animals must depend on occasional floods to wash leaves, twigs and plant debris into the cave. Another food source is provided by droppings from animals that go outside to feed then return to the cave to sleep or raise their young. The droppings from animals, such as bats and crickets, may provide the only major food source in some caves. Few animals can directly feed on these droppings. Instead, bacteria and fungi decompose these materials into simple foods and nutrients. Fungus-eating insects, such as beetles and mites, feed on the fungi and bacteria on animal droppings and plant debris. These animals then become the food supply for the larger predators like salamanders or crayfish. The droppings from larger cave animals replenishes the food supply for fungus and bacteria. Thus the food chain continues.

Scientific name: Proteus anguinus Laurenti 1768 Systematics: subphylum Vertebrata class Amphibia order Urodela familiy Proteidae genus and species cave salamander Proteus anguinus is a true troglobiont . It is an amphibic salamander, living only in the Dinaric Karst , the karst areas along the Mediterranean Sea from Trieste in Italy to Herzegowina. It can only be found in this region, it is a so-called endemic species. Additional occurrences, in the Harz in Germany, in Moulis in France or in Grotte Oliero in Italy go back on human intervention. During several hundred years of research numerous specimen were relocated for scientific purposes. The Proteus in the Dinaric karst is a remainder of a Tertiary familiy of amphibians. It is today nearly extinct with only six remaining genuses world wide. Proteus was known by Charles Darwin , who writes about cave animals in chapter 5 of his book The Origin of Species Effects of Use and Disuse . He calls them "wrecks of ancient life" Image: The proteus or olm.
