This study compares arthropod
biodiversity in areas infested with invasive
cheatgrass Bromus tectorum with areas not
infested. The goal of this project was to
establish a baseline of the types of
arthropods found in both habitats, discover
if there is more diversity in either habitat
and to find any patterns which might
eventually help identify species that could
be used as indicators of ecological or
environmental status. Arthropods were
collected with pitfall traps which were
evenly spaced along a gradient containing
both habitats. The results show that there
is higher species richness and diversity in
the areas infested with B. tectorum.
Research and data processing on this
project continues to date, however the
author feels that impending data will
support the results obtained so far. |
