Arthropod diversity in a tropical forest

Yves Basset, +41 more
- 14 Dec 2012 - 
TL;DR: This work sampled the phylogenetic breadth of arthropod taxa from the soil to the forest canopy in the San Lorenzo forest, Panama using a comprehensive range of structured protocols and found that models based on plant diversity fitted the accumulated species richness of both herbivore and nonherbivore taxa exceptionally well.

Arthropod distribution in a tropical rainforest: Tackling a four dimensional puzzle

TL;DR: It is imperative that estimates of global biodiversity derived from mass collecting of arthropod in tropical rainforests embrace the strong vertical and seasonal partitioning observed here, and given the high species turnover observed between seasons, global climate change may have severe consequences for rainforest arthropods.
