In this paper, species diversity and depth distribution of terrestrial isopod communities studied in the depth profile (5\u201395 cm from the surface) of eight forested scree slopes in the Western Carpathians (Slovakia) is discussed. The southern edge of the Western Carpathians where the study sites are located represents the northernmost limit of distribution of obligate subterranean fauna in Europe. The sites differ from each other in type of bedrock, forest composition, slope aspect, and altitude. To sample isopods, a set of three subterranean pitfall traps consisting of a plastic cylinder (\u00d8 110 mm) and ten plastic cups was buried in each studied scree slope. In total, 252 isopods belonging to eleven species were sampled (1\u20135 species per site). Of the species found, the blind and depigmented <jats:italic>Mesoniscusgraniger<\/jats:italic> was the sole species closely associated with deeper parts of the depth profile and was present in most of the sites studied. Another ten species were represented by a small number of individuals and their occurrence deeper in the scree slope profile was rather accidental. A comparison between winter and summer periods indicates apparent differences in seasonal activities of isopods. Ethylene glycol seems to be more appropriate fixative solution for trapping isopods than formaldehyde.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3897\/zookeys.801.24113","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,3]],"date-time":"2018-12-03T08:03:23Z","timestamp":1543824203000},"page":"323-335","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Terrestrial isopods associated with shallow underground of forested scree slopes in the Western Carpathians (Slovakia)"],"prefix":"10.3897","volume":"801","author":[{"given":"J\u00e1n","family":"Rudy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michal","family":"Rendo\u0161","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Peter","family":"\u013dupt\u00e1\u010dik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andrej","family":"Mock","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2258","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,3]]},"reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"24113_B1","first-page":"237","article-title":"Catalogue and atlas of cave-dwelling terrestrial isopods (Crustacea: Oniscidea) from Croatia.","volume":"20","author":"Bedek","year":"2011","journal-title":"Natura Croatica"},{"key":"24113_B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/acprof:oso\/9780199646173.001.0001"},{"key":"24113_B3","first-page":"37","article-title":"Composition of isopod assemblages in different habitat types.","author":"Farkas","year":"1999","journal-title":"\u010cesk\u00e9 Bud\u011bjovice (Czech Republic)"},{"key":"24113_B4","author":"Frankenberger","year":"1959","journal-title":"Stejnono\u017eci suchozem\u0161t\u00ed.
