“…However, species richness did show a statistically significant difference between treatments. The effect on arthropod communities was shown to be generated mainly from the vegetation systems (i.e., structural attributes, plant architecture, and phonology), as described by Liu et al [45] and Kyrö et al [8]. The result of this study supports our hypothesis that an increased structural diversity due to the coexistence of different life forms of plants on roofs is positively related to the abundance and richness of arthropods.…”

“…In our study, the nest mass did not predict arthropod entity richness. At landscape level, large areas host a higher richness of arthropods (Basset et al 2012) although the predictive power of landscape area on arthropod diversity could be improved by incorporating microsite areas, such as the nests (Liu et al 2016). Despite the relatively low number of samples included in this study (n = 27 nests) which could reduce the predictive power of nest dimension on arthropod richness, we detected an important effect of the nest area on arthropod richness.…”

“…Sin embargo, este patrón cambia a través de diversos factores, como la densidad de los parches, la identidad y arquitectura de la planta nodriza y las variaciones microambientales. En general, los rasgos funcionales de las nodrizas a menudo se correlacionan con factores ambientales, con la riqueza y abundancia de plantas protegidas y estas en conjunto o por separado afectan la estructura y composición de las comunidades de artrópodos (Liu et al, 2016(Liu et al, , 2017Forbes et al, 2017;Zhang et al, 2020). Otro factor importante en estos cambios es el tiempo, ya que, por ejemplo, al principio del ensamble de las comunidades vegetales, los artrópodos generalistas son más comunes y conforme avanza la estructuración, los especialistas van dominando (Jonhson y Agrawal, 2005;Piechnik et al, 2008;Haddad et al, 2011).…”

“…Gabriela Castaño-Meneses realizó la determinación al nivel taxonómico más bajo posible (orden, familia y género), pero con especial énfasis en la familia Formicidae (género y especie/morfoespecie), puesto que es una de las familias más importantes en los ecosistemas xéricos debido a las diversas interacciones que establecen con otros organismos (Ríos-Casanova et al, 2004). Además, es uno de los taxones con constante presencia en el estudio de las comunidades de artrópodos en ambientes áridos y semiáridos (v.gr., Li et al, 2013;Liu et al, 2016Liu et al, , 2017Liu y Steinberger, 2018;Zhang et al, 2020;Martínez et al, 2021).…”
