A Fine-Scale Hotspot at the Edge: Epigean Arthropods from the Atacama Coast (Paposo-Taltal, Antofagasta Region, Chile) [PDF]

Insects, 2021
The Atacama Desert at its margins harbors a unique biodiversity that is still very poorly known, especially in coastal fog oases spanning from Perú towards the Atacama coast.

Ranking protected areas in the Azores using standardised sampling of soil epigean arthropods [PDF]

Biodiversity and Conservation, 2005
Nineteen areas in seven of the nine Azorean islands were evaluated for species diversity and rarity based on soil epigean arthropods. Fifteen out of the 19 study areas are managed as Natural Forest Reserves and the remaining four were included due to their importance as indigenous forest cover.

Composición y abundancia de artrópodos epígeos del Parque Nacional Llanos de Challe: impactos del ENOS de 1997 y efectos del hábitat pedológico Abundance and composition of epigean arthropods from Llanos de Challe National Park: impacts of ENSO-1997 and effects of the pedological habitat

Revista Chilena de Historia Natural, 2005
Mediante el uso de trampas de intercepción, se estudió el efecto de la precipitación y el tipo de hábitat sobre la denso-actividad del ensamble de artrópodos epígeos _en particular Tenebrionidae_ del Parque Nacional Llanos de Challe.

The BALA project: A pioneering monitoring of Azorean forest invertebrates over two decades (1999–2022) [PDF]

Scientific Data
Globally, there is a concerning decline in many insect populations, and this trend likely extends to all arthropods, potentially impacting unique island biota. Native non-endemic and endemic species on islands are under threat due to habitat destruction,

Species composition and abundance of solpugids (Arachnida: Solifugae) in ecotopes of the transitional coastal desert of Chile

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2011
Using pitfall traps, the species composition and abundance of solpugids were studied in several ecotopes of Chile’s transitional coastal desert. The study was conducted in the area around Punta de Choros (29º15’S, 71º26’W) and in Los Choros Archipelago ...

Alpha and Beta Diversity of Epigean Arthropods (Arthropoda) in Three Sectors on the Eastern Cordillera of Colombia

Revista Colombiana de Entomología, 2017
The soil arthropods are an important component of the soil biota for their species diversity, function, and as tool to evaluate the habitat conservation state. The conservation state of three sectors in an ecosystem of high mountain (Socha, Tasco and Socotá in Boyacá, Colombia) was evaluated measuring alpha and beta diversity of epigean arthropods ...

Revisiting the indicator problem: can three epigean arthropod taxa inform about each other's biodiversity?

Diversity and Distributions, 2012
AbstractAimConservation studies often investigate the biodiversity of one taxonomic group with the expectation that it reflects biodiversity of other taxa as well. However, previous studies have found that biodiversity patterns are often only weakly correlated across ecologically very different taxa.

Epigean Arthropod Succession along a 154-year Glacier Foreland Chronosequence in the Forni Valley (Central Italian Alps)

Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2006
Abstract The 154-year (1850–2004) chronosequence of the Forni Glacier foreland has been studied by sampling ant, centipede, ground beetle, and spider species assemblages. Species numbers increase with terrain age along the chronosequence from 2 to 26 on the oldest soils.

Seasonal Assemblages of Epigean Arthropods in A Quebracho Forest ( Schinopsis Balansae ) In The Humid Chaco

Revista Colombiana de Entomología, 2011
Chaco forests have high structural and floristic diversity, due to their soil conditions, their fire regimes and the intense logging that they have undergone. Arthropods can be good indicators of habitat heterogeneity, ecosystem biodiversity, as well as the stress of the environment.
