FIGURE 113 in The Cave Fauna of California
FIGURE 113. Scatterplot and linear regression of SR (species richness) for 221 caves vs. their vertical cave depth. Although the correlation is low, the positive regression is statistically significant (two-tailed test, p = 0.008) indicating that deeper caves are richer in species than shallow caves. However, the true ecological relationship may be with moisture/humidity rather than cave depth. Shallow caves tend to be warmer and drier, which are less hospitable for moisture-sensitive arthropods.
