Remarques Sur La Signification Des Expériences En Géodynamique Karstique, Ph. Renault
Remarques Sur La Signification Des Expériences En Géodynamique Karstique, Ph. Renault
International Journal of Speleology
Distinction is made between the experiment which “demonstrates” having an argumentative value - and the experiment which “questions” nature by isolating one factor and by determining the mode of its action. The concept of experiment in geology and in geodynamics and the distinctions between geodynamics and geophysics are discussed. Karstic geodynamics considers the action of fluids - mainly liquids - on a soluble rock. It is a science bordering the different branches of geochemistry, hydrology, the mechanics of rocks, and geophysics. Researches in karstic geodynamics are based upon measurements obtained through field surveys, or upon the utilization of a subterranean …
Écologie De Fonticola Notadena De Beauchamp (Turbellarié, Triclade) Dans La Grotte De La Balme (Isère, France); Survie En Période De Sécheresse, René Ginet, Rodolphe Puglisi

During many months a year the acquatic Planaria (F. notadena) living in a small pool in the La Balme cave are subjected to a drought with the complete drying out of their biotope; they support in situ this lack of water and, living in a latent way inside the clayey matrix. Thanks to the great hygroscopy of the clay, enough humidity stays around the Planarians to enable them to survive. During this period the Planaria may undergo spontaneous divisions resulting in their asexual multiplication.
Antrolana Lira, A New Genus And Species Of Troglobitic Cirolanid Isopod From Madison Cave, Virginia, Thomas E. Bowman
Antrolana Lira, A New Genus And Species Of Troglobitic Cirolanid Isopod From Madison Cave, Virginia, Thomas E. Bowman
International Journal of Speleology
Antrolana lira, a new genus and species of troglobitic cirolanid isopod, is descnibed from Madison Cave, in the Appalachian Valley of Virginia. The problem of its origin from a marine ancestor is discussed. A supplementary description is given of Cirolanides texensis, and records of its occurrence are given. A key is given to the troglobitic Cirolanidae of the Western Hemisphere, and their known distribution is shown on a map. The subgenus Speocirolana Bolivar y Pieltain is raised to genus.
Über Die Algenwelt Der Höhlen In Ungarn, P. Palik
Über Die Algenwelt Der Höhlen In Ungarn, P. Palik
International Journal of Speleology
An account of the researches carried out on the algae living in the caves of Hungary is given. The results of the investigations concerning the algal flora of the Baradla, Peace, Abaliget, Pàlvòlgy, Kòlyuk caves are enumerated. Theories about the possible energy source utilized by these algae living in the complete darkness of caves such as radiation, symbiosis, chemosynthesis or auxothrophy are discussed. The question of the settling of algae into the caves is debated.
Über Die Moose, Die Unter Dem Einfluβ Der Elektrischen Beleuchtung In Das Innere Der Höhlen In Ungarn Und In Der Tschechoslowakei Eindringen, A. Boros
International Journal of Speleology
The introduction of electrical illumination into different caves makes the intrusion of some mosses and ferns into such depths of the caves possible which at previous occasions (i. e. before the installation of electrical light) were found sterile of these plants. Investigations of two caves in Czechoslovakia and 4 caves in Hungary revealed the presence of mosses thriving deep inside of these caves making use of the artificial illumination.

Die Bedeutung Der Pleistozänen Vogelfaunen Der Höhlen Im Ungarischen Mittelgebirge, Tibor Farkas
International Journal of Speleology
In the present study, the fossil bird fauna of the caves of the Hungarian Middle Mountains is examined for evidence in support of the hypothesis that the Carpathian Basin may have served as a faunal refugee during the last Quaternary glacial period. As an introduction, the reasons for the refugee hypothesis, including paleobotanical and glacial theoretical aspects, are discussed. Since the first bird fossils of the cave fauna considered in this paper belong to the Würm I-II, the faunistic conditions of the Riss glacial period are not discussed in detail, The known faunas up to the Würm II are interstadial, …
