Resilience of riparian spiders to floods: evidence from a mesocosm study

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 2, Page 393-403, March 2026.
Mesocosm experiment to assess the impact of flood duration on flood‐naïve riparian spider communities. In May, spider richness decreased with flood duration, while in June, flood duration increased abundance, richness and promoted wetland specialists. Flood‐naïve riparian spiders unexpectedly appear highly resilient to flooding.

Seguimiento de una invasión de arañas del género Argiope (Arachnida, Araneidae) en las islas Columbretes [PDF]

, 2010
Las invasiones de especies foráneas constituyen una de las causas que originan cambios importantes en la biodiversidad global. Hemos realizado un estudio descriptivo para documentar la fluctuación anual de la densidad de arañas del género Argiope (A ...

Hogna radiata males do not deplete their sperm in a single mating [PDF]

, 2013
To the extent that sperm production or mating opportunities are limited, males are expected to allocate their sperm optimally, so as to increase their overall fitness.

THE FIRST RECORD OF THE GENUS $ARGIOPE$ OF THE FAMILY ARANEIDAE: $ARGIOPE$ $BRUENNICHI$ (SCOPOLI, 1772) AND $ARGIOPE$ $LOBATA$ (PALLAS, 1772) IN ARMENIA

Proceedings of the YSU B: Chemical and Biological Sciences, 2022
The article presents the first record of the genus Argiope, orb-weaver spiders from the Araneidae family in Armenia. The two female specimens of Argiope bruennichi (Scopoli, 1772) were found in the Lori Region (northern part), and two specimens of the female spider of Argiope lobata (Pallas, 1772) were recorded in the Tavush Region (north-eastern part)

Rapid ecological and evolutionary divergence during a poleward range expansion

Ecological Monographs, Volume 96, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Understanding how species distributions respond to environmental change is a key question in ecology and evolution. While many species are shifting their ranges, the mechanisms driving the extent and rate of these shifts, and the consequences of their establishment in a novel environment, are often poorly understood.

Spreading of recently introduced North American sand dropseed (Sporobolus cryptandrus) threatens European native dry grassland arthropods

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 131-145, January 2026.
The effects of sand dropseed (Sporobolus cryptandrus) invasion on arthropods depended on its density and varied between habitat types and arthropod groups. Vegetation‐dwelling, primarily herbivorous orthopterans and true bugs were most sensitive to invasion. Sand dropseed negatively affected the arthropod species of high natural value.

Rehabilitated richness: biodiversity recovery in Germany's gypsum post‐mining landscapes

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 1, January 2026.
In light of European and international mandates to protect natural areas in order to preserve biodiversity, all unused or abandoned areas become invaluable resources. We examined the botanical and structural diversity of post‐mining areas and surrounding landscapes across four major mining regions in Germany over a year‐long study.

Body size evolution as a catalyst for diversification of copulation strategies and its spillover effects on genital evolution and phylogenetic divergence in terrestrial arthropods

Population Ecology, Volume 67, Issue 3, Page 191-207, July 2025.
A scenario in which divergent selection derived from ecological environments leads to genital divergence through body size evolution. Abstract To explore how ecological diversity contributes to the establishment of ecologically similar species with sexual divergence, this review focuses on body size—an environmentally influenced trait that determines ...
