N2  - Introduced plant species can have strong negative effects on native ecosystems. This is often reflected in alterations of native species richness and species composition on various trophic levels [1,2]. Isolated island ecosystems such as the Galápagos Islands are thought to be more susceptible to invasions [3]. The recent invasion of Rubus niveus has severe impacts on the native Scalesia pedunculata forests on Santa Cruz and overall the area has been reduced to 1.1% of it’s
original size [4]. In 2010 the National Park of Galápagos implemented a Rubus herbicide eradication program leading to the temporary removal of the entire understory. We investigated how these human induced habitat changes affect arthropod diversity and species composition
