For example, cavefish enhance their tactile sensitivity to navigate the darkness, while cave salamanders conserve energy through reduced metabolic rates. The text progresses from introducing cave ecosystems and evolutionary principles to detailed analyses of specific adaptations, supported by field observations, experiments, and genomic research.
The book uniquely integrates ecological, physiological, and genetics perspectives, offering a mechanistic understanding of cave adaptation, making it valuable for students, researchers, and anyone fascinated by evolution and the natural world.
