Eight caves in Great Basin National Park (GRBA) were biologically inventoried. In addition to at least two probable new species (a milliped and a globular springtail), we collected data on location of species in each cave, microhabitat, temperature, humidity, water chemistry parameters. We created collection and monitoring protocols, and made recommendations for management actions based on what we know of the ecological/biological requirements of the taxa. We performed a thorough literature review of all cave fauna from GRBA, and created species lists for each cave that are inclusive of all phyla that have ever been reported from caves in the park.
