By comparing C. introflexus invaded habitats to uninvaded habitats, I aim to answer the following questions:

 

Does C. introflexus invasion impact:

​

• Total abundance of ground dwelling Araneae, Coleoptera and Aculeate Wasps?

• Species richness of ground dwelling Araneae, Coleoptera and Aculeate Wasps? 

• The diversity index of ground dwelling Araneae, Coleoptera and Aculeate Wasps?

• Community composition of ground dwelling Araneae, Coleoptera and Aculeate Wasps?

• Functional groups of ground dwelling Araneae, Coleoptera and Aculeate Wasps?
