The Journal of Cave and Karst Studies focuses on the paleontological significance of caves and karst features. Recent articles highlight the discovery, preservation, and interpretation of fossil vertebrates, including mammals, birds, and bats, from various cave systems. Research also examines taphonomy, environmental change, and the use of cave deposits for understanding past ecosystems and species distribution.
