Species composition and abundance of solpugids (Arachnida: Solifugae) in ecotopes of the transitional coastal desert of Chile Composición de especies y abundancia de solífugos (Arachnida: Solifugae) en ecotopos del desierto costero transicional de 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 (29°15'S, 71°26'W) and in Los Choros Archipelago ...

Effect of Soil Properties on Species Richness of Fossorial Squamate Reptiles

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 6, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Species richness varies greatly over geographic gradients. Climate and other above‐ground attributes are the most common variables used to explain animal richness patterns. However, soil properties may play an important role in shaping the richness of species living underground.

Variación en la abundancia de Artropoda en un transecto latitudinal del desierto costero transicional de Chile, con énfasis en los tenebriónidos epígeos Variation in the abundance of Arthropoda from a latitudinal transect in the transitional coastal desert of Chile, with emphasis on the epigean tenebrionids

Revista Chilena de Historia Natural, 2005
Mediante el empleo de trampas de intercepción se examinó la composición taxonómica y los patrones de abundancia (denso-actividad) de la fauna de Arthropoda del transecto 27-30º S del desierto costero transicional de Chile, particularmente la distribución

A targeted gene phylogenetic framework to investigate diversification in the highly diverse yet geographically restricted red devil spiders (Araneae, Dysderidae)

Cladistics, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 577-597, December 2024.
ABSTRACT The family Dysderidae is a highly diverse group of nocturnal ground‐dwelling and active‐hunter spiders. Dysderids are mostly restricted to the Western Palearctic, and particularly rich and abundant around the Mediterranean region. Interestingly, the distribution of species richness among its 24 genera and three subfamilies is highly biased—80%

Arthropod traits as proxies for abundance trends in the Azorean Islands

Ecography, Volume 2024, Issue 12, December 2024.
Human activities drive ecological transformation, impacting island ecosystems from species diversity to ecological traits, mainly through habitat degradation and invasive species. Using two unique long‐term datasets we aim to evaluate whether species traits (body size, trophic level, dispersal capacity and habitat occupancy) can predict temporal ...

Patterns of alpha and beta diversity of epigean arthropods at contrasting land-uses of an oceanic island (Terceira, Azores)

, 2010
"[…]. To study the effect of land-use change in biological communities it is necessary to understand how are the different components of diversity distributed in space. Diversity has long been separated into different components according to the phenomena that interest ecologists (Whittaker, 1960, 1972): i) local species richness, i.e., alpha ...
