We investigated the use of several current measures of landscape health (Landscape Function Analysis, structure/composition/function (SCF)) as surrogates or indicators of arthropod biodiversity in the Pilliga region of NSW. We sampled arthropods (beetles, ants, wasps, spiders, butterflies) and measured landscape health at 43 Bimble Box (Eucalyptus populnea) remnants. We investigated the response of each of the arthropod taxa (abundance, species/family richness, and community composition) to variation in landscape health. There were very few consistent relationships between landscape health and species/family richness, or the total abundance of individuals in each taxa. ...
