Physical features and lithology variations contribute to promoting changes in faunal composition and richness between caves in Neotropics. Cave lithology effects on biodiversity were reported to iron ore caves in Brazil, however, it is less clear to granitoid and quartzite caves. Hence, based on these two kinds of rocks we correlate invertebrates species richness and composition with some cave features (lithology, the distance between caves, cave extension, number of entrances, entrance size, environmental stability, and altitude). Overall, 1,027 invertebrate species were recorded in 50 sampled caves. From this total, 11 obligate cave species were found. Invertebrate assemblages showed considerable turnover between caves and rock types with a strong contribution of replacement component of beta diversity. Replacement influence was greatest in quartzite caves mainly because of altitude and distance among caves. Furthermore, richness was determined by cave extension in both lithotypes, although this relationship was much more pronounced for the granitoid caves, which contradicts previous studies. The granitoid caves studied here are predominantly structured by stacked blocks with macro and meso anastomosed subterranean spaces that provide an extensive network of interstices with structural characteristics similar to shallow subterranean habitats that may increase in habitat availability and species richness. The study highlight that the lithology-mediated effects of cave extension on richness must be considered for quartzite and granitoid in the ecological and conservational proposal. Furthermore, altitude and distance among caves were important elements determining invertebrate composition.

物理特征和岩性变化有助于促进新热带地区洞穴之间的动物组成和丰富度的变化。据报道，在巴西的铁矿石洞穴中，洞穴岩性对生物多样性有影响，但是，对花岗岩和石英岩洞穴的了解却较少。因此，基于这两种岩石，我们将无脊椎动物物种的丰富度和组成与某些洞穴特征（岩性，洞穴之间的距离，洞穴延伸，入口数量，入口大小，环境稳定性和海拔高度）相关联。总体上，在50个采样的洞穴中记录了1,027种无脊椎动物。从这一总数中，发现了11个专性洞穴物种。无脊椎动物组合在洞穴和岩石类型之间显示出相当大的周转率，其中β多样性的替代成分具有很大的贡献。更换影响在石英岩溶洞中最大，主要是因为溶洞之间的高度和距离。此外，丰富度是由两种岩性的洞穴扩展来确定的，尽管这种关系在花岗岩洞穴中更为明显，这与以前的研究相矛盾。此处研究的花岗岩洞穴主要由具有宏观和中观吻合地下空间的堆叠块构成，提供了广泛的空隙网络，其结构特征类似于浅层地下栖息地，可能会增加栖息地的可利用性和物种丰富度。该研究强调，在生态学和自然保护提案中，必须考虑石英岩和花岗岩类的岩性扩展对富集性的影响。此外，
