Fig. 5

Sample-size based rarefaction (solid line segment) and extrapolation (dotted line segments) sampling curves with 95% confidence intervals (shaded areas) for the whole community (left panels) and troglomorphic (right panels) invertebrate fauna sampled in Brumadinho (BRU), Itabirito (ITA), and Conceição do Mato Dentro (CMD). Traps used: classic MSS traps (MMST), MSS traps with leaf litter (MSSL), depth traps (DEPT), flexible leaf litter traps (FLLT), and drip traps (DRIT). Upper panels show curves for MSS traps only for each locality. Central and lower panels show curves for the same four sampling methods used in ITA and CMD localities. Depth traps used in ITA were not shown for clarity.
