This book brings together a wide range of sampling methods for
investigating different arthropod groups. Each chapter is organized
to describe and evaluate the main sampling methods (field methods,
materials and supplies, sampling protocols, effort needed, and
limitations); in addition, some chapters describe the specimen
preparation and conservation, species identification, data
collection and management (treatment, statistical analysis,
interpretation), and ecological/conservation implications of
arthropod communities. The book aims to be a reference for
zoologists, entomologists, arachnologists, ecologists, students,
researchers, and for those interested in arthropod science and
biodiversity. We hope the book will contribute to advance knowledge
on field assessments and conservation strategies. Arthropods
represent the most speciose group of organisms on Earth, with a
remarkable number of species and interactions still to be
described. These invertebrates are recognized for playing key
ecological roles in terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems.
Because of the increasing and relentless threats arthropods are
facing lately due to a multitude of human induced drivers, this
book represents an important contribution to assess their
biodiversity and role in ecosystem functioning and generation of
ecosystem services worldwide.
