Travaux de l'Institut de Speologie Emile Racovitza (Jan 2018)
In memory of Emil G. Racovitza (1868 – 1947) – his ideas reverberate in our scientific research
Abstract
The ideas of E. G. Racovitza which led to the development of biospelaeology (biospeology, is the term used by Racovitza and adopted here) are reviewed. We emphasize the important research programme named Biospeologica which allowed to implement practical investigations on the subterranean animals due to enthusiastic cooperative work of many scientists
