Nest Characteristics and Prey Selection of Sceliphron destillatorium (Apoidea, Sphecidae) on the Territory of the Rivnenskyi Nature Reserve

open access: yesZoodiversity
The nesting behaviour and prey selection of Sceliphron destillatorium remains poorly studied in Ukraine. In the present study we analysed a total of 59 nests of S. destillatorium. The main morphometric parameters of S.

Comparative study of spinning field development in two species of araneophagic spiders (Araneae, Mimetidae, Australomimetus) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
External studies of spider spinning fields allow us to make inferences about internal silk gland biology, including what happens to silk glands when the spider molts.

Mitigating Arthropod Mortality During Roadside Mowing: The Potential of the EcoCut Insect Flushing Bar

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 9, Page 1407-1417, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Due to their size and corridor function, roadside verges are of concern for the conservation and protection of insects and other arthropods. Any opportunity to manage them in an insect‐friendly way, for example, insect‐friendly mowing technology, should be seen as an important contribution. Here we investigated the effectiveness of the EcoCut (

Drivers of Centipede and Spider Diversity and Biomass Along an Elevation Gradient on Changbai Mountain, China

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
Changes in density, diversity, and biomass with elevation differ between centipedes and spiders. Compared to centipedes, spiders are more strongly affected by environmental changes. Climatic variables act as the main drivers of centipede and spider density, diversity, and biomass, with local habitat–related factors being of secondary importance ...
