Summary
A recent inventory of arthropods in Teide National Park, a high-mountain ecosystem with extreme conditions, identified 615 taxa, including 80 new to the site. This update follows the first comprehensive catalogue from 1996 and establishes standardized sampling protocols for future biomonitoring. The study highlights the park's remarkable biodiversity despite its challenging environment.
