Although, arthropods are not direct targets of the project, their communities can provide useful indicators of overall habitat quality.

A total of 20,282 specimens were collected, with 15,055 specimens identified to species or subspecies level, representing 74% of the total sample. Overall, 172 species and subspecies were identified: 27 endemic, 48 native non-endemic, 77 introduced and 20 of uncertain colonisation status. We recorded ten species new to Santa Maria Island. However, none represented a new record for the Azores Archipelago. Of these new island records, two were native non-endemic species, six were introduced and two had uncertain colonisation status.
