Abstract

Vegetation structural diversity, species richness of plants, terrestrial arthropods and liz- ards, and the relative abundance of species within ant functional groups, were examined as indicators of faunal richness in gimlet (Eucalyptus salubris) woodlands (29 sites) and shrub- lands (27 sites) in semi-arid, agricultural Western Australia. Sites varied in grazing history (woodland) and in farming history (shrubland).
