The effect of foraging army ants on leaf-litter arthropods.
The four tree species had distinguishable arthropod species compositions and community organization.
The natural permeability of cellular membranes appears to be important for the survival of the arthropod under low oxygen or high carbon dioxide atmospheres.
What are the implications of bird predation on arthropods for cocoa crops?
Beneficial arthropods (insectivores and granivores) were monitored using pitfall (arthropod activity) and quadrat (arthropod density) samples.
The goal of transforming an arthropod species is often to replace a natural population with individuals genetically modified such that they are no longer pests.
The dry mass of the litter arthropods was measured on an electronic balance to 0.01 g accuracy.
Furthermore, population regulation occurred at a level rarely seen in freeliving populations of arthropods.
