Briefs THE ADVANTAGES OF USING ARTHROPODS IN ECOSYSTEM MANAGEMENT A brief prepared by the Biological Survey of Canada (Terrestrial Arthropods) January 1996 Summary Human society and regional economies are tied to resources produced by ecosystems.
Arthropods are the most successful group of animals. Their success is measured by having the most species, producing the greatest numbers of offspring, occupying the most habitats, possessing terrific defenses, and being able to exploit new resources.
Arthropoda from canopy tropical deciduous forest was sampled. Tweny four major taxa were found. Collembola was the most abundant group (95% of total abundance), followed by Acarida (1.25%) and Hymenoptera (0.90%).
Many arthropods have adopted the parasitic way of life. Depending on your definition of parasitism, something between 15 and 50% of insect species are either parasitic or have parasitic stages in their life cycle. Some groups of parasitic arthropods are more economically important than others.
