Why is it important?
We measure the biodiversity quality of spiders found in Portuguese nature reserves and produce a hierarchy of importance for spiders. We show that the sites with the most species had the commonest species and the sites with the fewest species had the rarest ones thus repeating previous results reported by Dr Feest
Perspectives
I reworked the excellent data of Pedro Cardoso to show how biodiversity quality indices could be calculated and site importance for spiders inferred.
