	abstract = {<p>Abstract Pitfall trapping is one of the standard methods used for the capture of ground-active arthropod groups. Despite being frequently used, the standardization of this method is problematic due to the large range of combinations of the individual parameters of pitfall traps with varying efficacy under different environmental conditions. We evaluated the effects of the trap diameter, the fixing fluid, and their combination on the capture efficacy for harvestmen (Opiliones) and millipedes (Diplopoda). We used pitfall traps with three different diameters: 3\&nbsp;cm, 5\&nbsp;cm, and 12\&nbsp;cm, filled with three types of fixing fluids (saturated fluid of NaCl, 10:1 mixture of 70\% ethanol and glycerol and 4\% formaldehyde). Altogether, 90 traps representing nine combinations of trap diameters and fixing fluid were placed on a mown meadow in spring and autumn intervals for a total of 45\&nbsp;days. We sampled 1,488 individuals representing 11 harvestmen species and 881 individuals representing 11 millipede species. Large (d\&nbsp;=\&nbsp;12\&nbsp;cm) and medium (5\&nbsp;cm) traps captured significantly more millipede species and individuals than the small-sized traps (3\&nbsp;cm). The same effect was observed for harvestmen species richness, whereas the medium traps (d\&nbsp;=\&nbsp;5\&nbsp;cm) captured the highest mean activity of harvestmen. By analyzing the differences in the body sizes of the studied arthropods in relation to the trap diameter and fluid, we found that larger traps, as well as traps filled with NaCl solution, captured larger harvestmen more frequently than the other trap types. Our results revealed that the combination of larger traps (d\&nbsp;=\&nbsp;5 and 12\&nbsp;cm) and formaldehyde was most effective in the capture of both studied groups. However, the disadvantage of formaldehyde is its toxicity.</p>

A hundred years ago, Kazimierz Demel published the first work concerning the terrestrial cave fauna of caves in the Ojc\&oacute;w area. In this paper we present the extent of research on the terrestrial invertebrate fauna of Polish caves in the last 100 years. All accessible research papers that have been published during this period were analysed. Based on published literature, 593 species of terrestrial invertebrate were recorded in Polish caves. Additionally, detailed list of species of individual taxonomic groups was provided.</p>
