Abstract

The domestic fauna of Corvera, village of Murcia province (SE Spain) has been studied in eleven housings. Samplings, using sticky traps, were carried out from November 2002 to October 2003. 21 arthropod orders, belonging to Chaelicerata, Crustacea, Myriapoda and Hexapoda, have been collected. Results show higher abundance and diversity of peridomestic fauna than domestic one. On the other hand, some differences respect to the abundance and appearance frequency of several groups can be observed. This aspect seems to be due to the structural characteristics of the studied village and the biogeographic area to which it belongs.
