Abstract

Changes in the species composition and numbers of diplopods in the boxwood area of a yew-boxwood grove resulting from an invasion of the boxwood moth were studied. Data before and several years after the invasion were compared. The disappearance or reduced numbers of some species, as well as changes in the dominant and subdominant structures were revealed in the study area. Statistical analyses showed both a significant decrease in alpha diversity and changes in beta diversity.

The Kruskal–Wallis (K–W) test was used to compare alpha diversity indices between years (A, B, C) and seasons (D, E, F) followed by pairwise comparison using Dunnett’s (D) test. Statistically significant differences (p < 0.5) based on the results of pairwise comparison are shown as lines between the compared groups. Correction for multiple hypothesis testing was performed using the Benjamini–Hochberg test.
