The data presented here is part of a doctoral project aimed at characterising and comparing arthropod diversity across biotic communities in coastal ecosystems. The present work provides an inventory of the arthropods recorded in two coastal grasslands ecosystems: the Portugal mainland and the Azores. Sampling was conducted on São Miguel Island (Azores Archipelago) as well as in the Sesimbra and Sines regions (Setúbal District, mainland Portugal). Thirty-one plots were set and visited four times, in spring and summer of 2022.
The specimens collected were sorted and catalogued into a total of 534 arthropod species and morphospecies. In total, 67 species were common to both ecosystems. A total of 13,515 specimens were counted in the two coastal grasslands. We registered three new records for the Azores (in São Miguel Island), all being exotic: (Thumberg, 1822) (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae), , Van Duzee, 1915 (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae) and sp. Patton, 1880 (Hymenoptera, Sphecidae). This publication demonstrates the importance of coastal grasslands as reservoirs for some potentially invasive arthropod species.
本文所呈现的数据是一个博士项目的一部分，该项目旨在描述和比较沿海生态系统中生物群落的节肢动物多样性。目前的工作提供了两个沿海草原生态系统中记录的节肢动物清单：葡萄牙大陆和亚速尔群岛。采样在圣米格尔岛（亚速尔群岛）以及塞辛布拉和锡尼什地区（葡萄牙大陆塞图巴尔区）进行。在2022年春季和夏季设置了31个样地，并进行了四次访问。
所收集的标本被分类编目为总共534种节肢动物物种和形态物种。两个生态系统共有67种。在这两个沿海草原共统计到13515个标本。我们在亚速尔群岛（圣米格尔岛）记录了三个新物种，均为外来物种：（桑伯格，1822年）（膜翅目，姬蜂科），范杜泽，1915年（半翅目，叶蝉科）和帕顿，1880年（膜翅目，胡蜂科）。本出版物证明了沿海草原作为一些潜在入侵节肢动物物种库的重要性。
