Early succession arthropod community changes on experimental passion fruit plant patches along a land-use gradient in Ecuador

▶ Land use affects the community of arthropods on Yellow Passion fruit plants with a broad pattern of decreasing biodiversity with increasing light and land-use intensity. ▶ Local environmental variables were important drivers of arthropod species richness and abundance in the field. ▶ The community similarity of arthropods was sensitive to land-use management.
