SLAM Project - Long Term Ecological Study of the Impacts of Climate Change in the natural forest of Azores: VI - Inventory of Arthropods of Azorean Urban Gardens

The data we present are part of the long-term project SLAM (Long Term Ecological Study Impacts Climate Change in natural forest Azores) aiming to assess impact biodiversity erosion drivers on Azorean native biota, using ecological data. Additionally (Sea, Land and Air Malaise) traps, nocturnal Active Aerial Searching Foliage Beating methods were used sample, between 2017 2018, arthropod two historical urban gardens Azores, “Jardim Botânico” Faial Island Duque da Terceira” Terceira Island. We provided an inventory arthropods collected 2018 Islands (Azores). A total 8342 specimens collected, which 7493 identified species/subspecies level (Faial n = 3296; 4197). belong four classes, 15 orders, 80 families 159 species subspecies arthropods. 84 considered introduced (n 2454 specimens), 50 non-endemic 4444 eight endemic 217) 17 have indeterminate origin 378). This study also revises these gardens, by adding/updating taxonomic names three ten 22 species.
