The distribution of non-ant arthropods was examined in 40 urban habitat fragments in coastal San Diego County, California, USA, to look for effects of fragmen- tation, proximity to developed edge, and the non-native Argentine ant (Linepithema humile). Arthropods were sampled with pitfall traps and by vacuum sampling from California buck- wheat shrubs (Eriogonum fasciculatum). Individual arthropods were identi®ed to order and Recognizable Taxonomic Unit (RTU), or morphospecies. At the fragment scale we looked for correlations in the point diversity and abundance of arthropods as a function of the age and area of the fragment being sampled. At the scale of the individual sample points we looked for correlations of abundance and diversity with variables that describe the species composition of the shrub vegetation and disturbance. As indicators of disturbance we used the cover of native woody and exotic non-woody vegetation, the distance to the nearest developed edge, and the abundance of Argentine ants. The following patterns were found: (1) In general, arthropods showed a fragmentation effect with point diversity and abundance positively correlated with fragment area and negatively correlated with fragment age.
