Abstract
The behaviour of arthropods on islands with and without mammalian prcdators in South West Fiordland was compared. The escape responses of cockroaches, tree wetas and spiders on islands with prcdators were significantly more pronounced than on predator-free islands. The implications of this result for arthropod population estimatcs and conservation are discussed.
