Pitfall trapping was used to study the effects on epigeal arthropods of wildfire plus salvage logging, and of clear-felling plus slash burning. The abrupt replacement of complex regrowth forest by even-aged regeneration caused appreciable instability; an immediate decline in arthropod species diversity accompanied short-term boosts in the activity of some major taxa (such as a seed-harvesting ant). However, all but 3 rarely-trapped taxa had returned within 5 years.
