Abstract: | Background, aim, and scope Arthropods, with over a million species described, are ubiquitous throughout different environments. Knowledge of their responses
to human impact is crucial for understanding and predicting changes in ecosystem structure and functions. Our aim was to investigate
the general patterns and to identify sources of variation in changes of the diversity, abundance and fitness of terrestrial
arthropods (including Arachnida, Collembola and Insecta) in habitats affected by point polluters. |
