      abstract = {This thesis includes a wealth of cave maps, as well as  photos of the caves and karst morphologies. At the heart of  the thesis is the important discovery of a flank margin  cave with speleothem hiatuses and fossil invertebrate  associations. The analysis of the structural and karst  morphological elements surveyed in the main explored caves  in Monti di Capo San Vito has made it possible to identify  both the state of control of the processes of  karstification in tectonic phases during the  Plio-Pleistocene upliftings and the kinematic character of  some karstified structures, linked at two speleogenetic  phases. Furthermore, the surveying of karst forms on the  relict sea-cliffs, and particularly the exceptional  discovery and dating of marine and continental  incrustations in the Rumena cave, has yielded essential  advances in our knowledge of past climatic events and  eustatic level changes in the Mediterranean, as well as  their influence on the evolution of the coastal belt.},
