Resumo
Of the total 286 species identified, 81% were captured between 1999 and 2000, a period
during which only 39% of all the samples were collected. On average, arthropod richness
for each island increased by 10% during the time frame of these projects. The classes
Arachnida, Chilopoda and Diplopoda represent the most remarkable cases of new island
records, with more than 30% of the records being novelties. This study stresses the need
to expand the approaches applied in these projects to other habitats in the Azores, and
more importantly to other less surveyed taxonomic groups (e.g. Diptera and Hymenoptera).
These steps are fundamental for getting a more accurate assessment of biodiversity in the
archipelago.
