spp.) affect darkling beetle (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) abundance and diversity. We predicted that darkling beetle abundance and diversity would be higher in tamarisk bosques due to higher leaf litter and detritus compared to habitats without tamarisk. To examine this hypothesis, we conducted pitfall trapping and observational encounter surveys in three different settings: native high desert, tamarisk thicket and a common garden plot. We found two patterns. 1. Darkling beetle abundance was higher

These non-native species are a leading cause of biodiversity loss. The total economic impact caused by invasive species is substantial. It is estimated that plants alone result in two to three billion dollars in crop loss each year. In 2013, the
