Abstract:Pristine Azorean forests have been deeply fragmented since human colonization. Fragmentation increases the length of edges and it, therefore, promotes edge habitats. Studying the impact of edge habitat on species assemblages is crucial to highlight the importance of forest connectivity and guide management strategies.
This study explores the impact of forest edges on arthropod assemblages, and particularly investigates the differences of arthropod communities between three habitats, along a distance gradient … Show more
