Abstract
⺠Spider, beetle and moth diversity was compared in mixed and monoculture plantations. ⺠Mixed stands comprised two species with the second varying in cover from 15% to 40%. ⺠Mixed and monocultures were similar in arthropod assemblages and forest structure. ⺠Canopy species comprising <40% cover do not influence the arthropod community.
