Gut Microbiome Diversity, Functional Potential, and Ecological Relevance of Hottentotta tamulus
Long‐read 16S sequencing uncovers the gut microbiome of H. tamulus. A highly conserved and low‐diversity bacterial community dominates the gut fauna. Bacillus and Mycoplasma lineages emerge as predominant candidate endosymbionts. Exploratory profiles reveal potential sex‐specific trends in microbial abundance.

A glimpse of the tropics : spiders (Araneae) in the greenhouses of the Botanic Garden Berlin-Dahlem [PDF]
In a survey of the spider fauna in greenhouses of the Botanic Garden Berlin-Dahlem, 30 spider species were recorded. Two species are new to Europe: Theotima minutissima (Petrunkevitch, 1929) and Heteroonops spinimanus (Simon, 1891). T. minutissima is the

The first data on subnivean activity of spiders (Arachnida: Aranei) in Southwestern Siberia (Russia)
Thirteen species of spiders from four families were collected using pitfall traps in subnivean habitat in the foothills of Salair Mt. Range, eastern Altai Krai. Linyphiidae predominate in the material.

Darwin's Naturalization Conundrum in the Azores: Scale‐Dependent Patterns of Arthropod Invasion
ABSTRACT Aim To test the mechanisms governing the assembly of exotic arthropods within endemic‐rich island communities by evaluating Darwin's naturalization conundrum, which predicts that invasion success occurs through either functional dissimilarity from native species (Naturalization Hypothesis) or functional similarity with them (Pre‐adaptation ...

Mountain ecosystems are under strong environmental pressure and are considered highly vulnerable to climate change, which is likely to lead to forest expansion and loss of open alpine grasslands, threatening many specialized species. However, for most alpine birds, even basic ecological knowledge, such as their diet, remains limited, restricting our ...
