Speleomics: omics insights into subterranean ecosystems

The vocable 'omics' encompasses genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics. All these subfields deal with what used to be called "big data" that describe complex interactions. What can the use of such highly sophisticated approaches when dealing caves other subterranean environments? Are ecosystems omics-worth? Throughout this presentation, I will discuss recent, ongoing planned studies used, or using omics approach shed light on biology biodiversity cave ecosystems, as well often invisible interspecific interactions they help reveal. Far from replacing traditional taxonomy naturalist studies, propose blend them gain a more holistic understanding ecosystem. dub brave new field 'speleomics'.
