Effects of human mediated disturbances on exotic forest insect diversity in a Chilean mediterranean ecosystem

2012-12-01

Abstract excerpt

At the current rate of exchange of goods and people among geographic areas, the introduction of insect species into new habitats represents an increasing threat to insect diversity. The situation is especially acute in Mediterranean ecosystems where the high human population density incurs multiple sources of disturbance and high propagule pressure. In this study, we characterize the relationship between native an...
