Biographical Dictionary
This biographical dictionary is aimed at providing historical background to the
study of hypogean (cave, karst, and phreatic) fishes of the world. This is and
will continue to be a work in progress by adding and/or improving the
information contained herein. Any information and/or suggestion can be submitted
to Aldemaro Romero at romero@macalester.edu.
Although a comprehensive history of ichthyology has yet to be written, some
attempts have been made, but none of them give us the entire picture. Some are
either too old (Cuvier 1828 [1995], Günther 1880, Jordan 1905) or limited in
scope geographically (Myers 1964, Hubbs 1964) or conceptually (Pietsch &
Anderson 1997). The history of speleology has faced similar problems. The only
attempt to summarize the history of this field emphasized geomorphology (Shaw
1992). Barr’s (1966) short article on the history of cave research is confined
to the United States. The role played by the study of cave organisms in general
on the neo-Lamarckian movement in the United States as well as the idea of
progress is better known (e.g., Ruse 1996). For more general information on the
history of hypogean fish research see Romero (2001c).
For a list of the troglomorphic species of the world and their individual
history, see Romero (2001a).
