Abstract

At the Luquillo Experimental Forest, invertebrate community structure and herbivory were compared among tree species co-occurring in intact forest (standing trees) and canopy gaps. Lepidoptera, predaceous beetles, and decomposers were significantly more abundant in standing trees; whereas, some sap-sucking arthropods were more abundant in canopy gaps, indicating that these taxa responded to changes in microclimate and/or host condition resulting from disturbance. Herbivory and numbers of several taxa differed significantly among three species, likely reflecting host preferences based on foliage nutritional quality. -from Author

The simultaneous declines of all 10 arthropod taxa in the sweep samples, the 10 most-abundant taxa in Schowalter's canopy samples, and arthropods occupying all strata point to an overriding environmental factor that has had ubiquitous, adverse effects on forest arthropods regardless of taxonomic affiliation, stratum occupied, or type of niche exploited.
“Second, the simultaneous declines of all 10 arthropod taxa in our sweep samples, the 10 most-abundant taxa in Schowalter’s (23) canopy samples, and arthropods occupying all strata of our forest study area, all point to an overriding environmental factor that has had ubiquitous, adverse effects on forest arthropods regardless of taxonomic affiliation, stratum occupied, or type of niche exploited.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
