MA Keping from the Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (IBCAS) has shown that forests with higher tree species richness tend to have greater arthropod diversity. The researchers ...

DNA sequencing allows us to chart the genomic blueprints underlying this incredible diversity that characterizes the arthropods and makes them the most successful group of animals on Earth.

However, the patterns of overall soil arthropod community composition and the drivers of taxonomic diversity at different geographic scales remain unevaluated. In a study published in Catena ...

Is the basic function of the forest affected?" The researchers discovered that the areas of the forest with the most arthropod diversity also had the greatest diversity of plants. "It means if we ...

The results also showed that the diversity of arthropod life is closely correlated with the diversity of plants in the area, and this is true even for the creatures that don't eat plants ...

During the year-long project, museum staff tallied the arthropods to determine the diversity of groups living in each area. The results were surprising. In general, we thought most arthropods ...

Amidst the insect apocalypse, studies find that organically managed land protects and enhances insect biodiversity.

Arthropods make up the most species-rich and diverse group of animals on Earth, with numerous adaptations over 500 million years of evolution that have allowed them to exploit all major ecosystems ...
