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 pat_shaw@telus.net

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.
