First, we examine how a variety of biotic, abiotic and anthropogenic factors influence the endemic and introduced arthropod richness on an oceanic island. Second, we look at the relationship between the endemic and introduced arthropod richness, to ask whether areas with high levels of endemic species richness deter invasions.engArthropodsAzoresDistributionEndemic SpeciesEnvironmental VariablesIntroduced SpeciesSpecies Richnessjournal article2012-06-07
