      abstract = {This book brings together a wide range of sampling methods  for investigating different arthropod groups. Each chapter  is organised to describe and evaluate the main sampling  methods (field methods, materials and supplies, sampling  protocols, effort needed, and limitations); in addition,  some chapters describe the specimen preparation and  conservation, species identification, data collection and  management (treatment, statistical analysis,  interpretation), and ecological/conservation implications  of arthropod communities. The book aims to be a reference  for zoologists, entomologists, arachnologists, ecologists,  students, researchers, and for those interested in  arthropod science and biodiversity. We hope the book will  contribute to advance knowledge on field assessments and  conservation strategies. Arthropods represent the most  speciose group of organisms on Earth, with a remarkable  number of species and interactions still to be described.  These invertebrates are recognized for playing key  ecological roles in terrestrial, freshwater and marine  ecosystems. Because of the increasing and relentless  threats arthropods are facing lately due to a multitude of  human induced drivers, this book represents an important  contribution to assess their biodiversity and role in  ecosystem functioning and generation of ecosystem services  worldwide.},
