DESCRIPTION:
It includes an extensive introduction, history of investigations, consideration of non-stygobitic fishes in caves, and detailed analysis of the conservation status of these very rare animals.. For him, the explanation was a straightforward Lamarckian one, and one that did not involve adaptation and the struggle of existence. Even Darwin saw subterranean animals as degenerates: examples of eyelessness and loss of structure in general. In most habitats, adaptations are the single most obvious aspects of an organism’s phenotype. This volume is a comprehensive account of all known species of subterranean fishes. However, the most obvious feature of many subterranean animals are losses, not adaptations
