Coffee agroecosystems have abundant insect prey, and therefore have the potential to support a high diversity of spiders. In this study, I measured spider diversity in the Life Monteverde low-shade coffee farm located in Cañitas, Guanacaste, Costa Rica. I compared the alpha and beta diversity of an isolated coffee field, a forest-surrounded and more highly shaded coffee field, and a forest patch all located on the farm. At each site, I collected spiders from 12 plots, and later I identified each spider to the family level. In total, I collected 508 individuals of 15 families. Using the true diversity index, I found that the isolated field had the highest family richness, while the forest patch had the highest alpha diversity when considerin...
