Descrição: dc.descriptionThe theory of habitat heterogeneity, which treats one of the global drivers of biodiversity, is valid for several taxonomic groups and distinct ecosystems, including subterranean environments. However, knowledge about the factors that influence the structure of subterranean communities remains limited, especially in Neotropical regions. We sought to understand the main drivers of invertebrate species richness and composition. For that, we compared the substrate elements of twilight and deep-cave zones and their associated invertebrate communities. Variations in habitat heterogeneity were significantly related to richness in the deep cave zone, but had no effect on the fauna associated with the twilight zone. The local heterogeneity enhanced the richness in the deep cave zone due to the increase in the number of available habitats and the effect on decreasing niche overlap. For communities’ composition, the geographic distribution of caves explained the similarity between the twilight zone of different caves. Therefore, nearby caves have a more similar fauna in the entrance regions but conversely, exhibit a higher dissimilarity between communities associated with the deep-cave zone. This study highlights the influence of local habitat heterogeneity on the invertebrate communities associated with different zones of the cave.-
