[Seasonal dynamics of arthropod community diversity, evenness and relative stability in peach orchards]

This study showed that the diversity index of total arthropod community in peach orchards was significantly correlated to the diversity index of both phytophages (r = 0.9480) and predators sub-communities (r = 0.7855), and the two sub-communities were correlative (r = 0.6741). It was also significantly correlated to the evenness index of total community (r = 0.7870), but not correlated to the evenness index of both sub-communities. The diversity index (H') of total community was significantly correlated to the ratio of predators individuals (Sd) and phytophages individuals (Sz) (r = 0.8112) and of species (Ss) and individuals (Si) (r = 0.9188), but not correlated to the ratio of predators (Spl) and phytophages (Szl).
