Potential Bibliography Additions
Just a few sources I'm considering as I work at the article. Would be great to get some input on source formatting, as I think there are some issues on the citation links.


 * Subterranean ecosystems: Pipan, Tanja & Culver, David. (2013). Subterranean Ecosystems. 10.1016/B0-12-226865-2/00262-5.
 * This is a comprehensive chapter of an encyclopedia that covers topics of adaptations, energy usage, and evolution that are useful for this article

 * Really excellent outline on the evolutionary drivers for Troglomorphism, and specifically outlines commonly observed morphological changes and "preadaptation"
 * Cave adaptation mechanisms: Gainett, G., Ballesteros, J.A., Kanzler, C.R. et al. Systemic paralogy and function of retinal determination network homologs in arachnids. BMC Genomics 21, 811 (2020). https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-020-07149-x
 * Arachnid specific instance of attempting to understand the underlying molecular systems to get to troglomorphic characters
