A preliminary investigation on the dependence of arthropod diversity on vegetation diversity across four contrasting ecosystems in Hanthana mountain range of Sri Lanka
Abstract:Arthropods contribute significantly to biodiversity and vegetation provides a habitat and resources for them to survive, exist and propagate. We report a preliminary investigation on the extent to which arthropod diversity is dependent upon vegetation diversity across different ecosystems in a humid tropical climate. We determined the diversity of arthropods in four ecosystems closely-located ecosystems with different vegetation. Vegetation surrounding an aquatic environment (AQ), a broad-leaved wet, evergreen… Show more
