An inventory of the foliar, soil, and dung arthropod communities in pastures of the southeastern United States

Abstract

Major drivers of change in biological community composition during the Anthropocene include habitat loss (Marini et al., 2012), climate change (Andrew et al., 2013), and agriculture intensification (Tscharntke et al., 2012). Arthropod communities are not immune to these effects, experiencing the largest population fluctuations in recorded history, with steep declines of many functional groups
