A framework for control of alien marine species is presented to provide guidance for control efforts under the existing patchwork of national laws and can help provide a foundation for international cooperation.
Ecology of Cave Arthropods
- F. Howarth
- Environmental Science
- 1983
In general, the science of biospeleology in the United States has lagged far behind studies in Europe, and it was not until the 1950s that the modern period of cave biology began in North America.
THE ZOOGEOGRAPHY OF SPECIALIZED CAVE ANIMALS: A BIOCLIMATIC MODEL

- 1 March 1980
Evidence is presented that there are clear bioclimatological and physical principles governing evaporation that largely explain why the true cave environment, to which the terrestrial troglobites are adapted, is much rarer in tropical caves than in temperate caves.

The evolution of non-relictual tropical troglobites
- F. Howarth
- Environmental Science
- 1987
Rather than being relicts isolated in caves by the extinction of their epigean ancestral population, troglobites appear to evolve by a process called adaptive shift from specicls that are frequent accidentals in the mesocaverns.
High-Stress Subterranean Habitats and Evolutionary Change in Cave-Inhabiting Arthropods
- F. Howarth
- Environmental ScienceAmerican Naturalist
- 1 July 1993
Parsons's stress-determined species boundary model on the role of stresses in increasing phenotypic and genotypic variability at boundaries is expanded to explain how an adaptive shift could occur at such food-rich boundaries, which would allow a new population to diverge from its parent population and exploit resources in a novel environment.

THE CAVERNICOLOUS FAUNA OF HAWAIIAN LAVA TUBES, 1. INTRODUCTION
- F. Howarth
- Geology
- 1973
The Hawaiian Islands offer great potential for evolutionary research. The discovery of specialized cavernicoles among the adaptively radiating fauna adds to that potential. About 50 lava tubes and a…
