Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.We assessed alpha‐ and beta‐diversity patterns of spiders across different forests and across vegetation layers (ground, shrub, low canopy) at local spatial scales across various Mediterranean forest types. Across forests, alpha‐diversity increased with habitat heterogeneity, which also drove beta‐diversity patterns across plots .

Regional variation of habitat tolerance by some European spiders (Araneae) - a review [PDF]
, 2009 The data presented by HÄNGGI et al. (1995) and BOLAÑOS (2003) on the habitats of a large number of European spiders are examined, most of which appear to show non-specific preferences.

The underappreciated roles of fog and dew on vegetation and biocrusts
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Fog and dew represent minor components of ecosystem water budgets in most ecosystems. However, fog and dew can play an essential role in ecosystem dynamics and are particularly important for water‐limited systems. In addition to serving as direct water inputs, fog and dew can influence microclimate and water redistribution, thereby promoting ...

Ecological niches and biogeography of nitrogen‐fixing plants in Europe
Plant Biology, EarlyView.Despite sharing N fixation as a common trait, European legume and actinorhizal plant lineages occupy strikingly divergent ecological niches shaped by their evolutionary histories and physiological adaptations. Advanced symbiont control allows IRLC legumes to expand into northern, mesic regions, while non‐IRLC legumes are more common in Mediterranean ...

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Sand made from recycled glass cullet could supplement limited dredged river sand (dredge) in coastal wetland restorations; however, its suitability for wetland plants is unknown. In two experiments, we compared the biomass of several wetland plants in recycled glass sand to growth in dredge.

Distribution of Phytolacca americana in a coastal sand dune
Journal of Ecology and Environment, 2014 This study examined the main factors affecting the distribution of Phytolacca americana , an exotic plant species in Korea, in coastal sand dunes. The areas examined from June 2004 to February 2006 were in Sindusagu where was located on Sindu-ri, Wonbuk-myen, Taean-gun, Chungcheongnam-do.

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Restoration of coastal dunes following tropical storm events often requires renourishment of sand substrate dredged from offshore sources, although dredging has well‐described negative ecological impacts and high economic costs. As a potential solution, recycled glass sand (cullet) made from crushed glass bottles has been proposed as a potential ...
