ABSTRACT Beetle pollination is considered an ancestral trait in angiosperms, retained in a few specialised families engaging in longstanding interactions with ancient groups of beetles. While beetles represent some of the earliest angiosperm pollinators, there is also increasing evidence that some beetle‐pollinated plants represent a derived condition.

Ups and Downs among Danish Urban Harvestmen
The opilionid fauna of Northern Europe, including Denmark, has become enriched by range expansion of several species originating from southern Europe, and this process is expected to continue into the future. I present data that describe the changing occurrence (relative abundance, locality representation) of invasive as well as native harvestman ...

Respiratory energetics of two Florida harvestmen
Abstract 1. 1. Standard rates of metabolism were measured in two Florida harvestmen, Leiobunum aurugineum and Vonones ornata. 2. 2. Rates of metabolism of Leiobunum aurugineum were ca 40% higher than those of V. ornata when adjusted to a common body size. This difference was attributed to differences in their respective life histories. 3.

The Tarantula Atypus Milberti in Michigan (Araneae: Atypidae) [PDF]
Excerpt: The arachnid genus Atypus (family Atypidae, suborder Mygalomorphae) contains four species in North America. These tarantulas are atypical because they have retained remnants of the primitive segmentation characteristic of Mesozoic spiders; the ...

ABSTRACT Riparian ecosystems harbor diverse biota and provide numerous services to rivers including mitigating sediment run‐off, regulating temperature, and contributing food‐web subsidies. Dams are a major threat to riparian communities, but dam removal and riparian restoration efforts have the potential to restore these communities and the services ...

Abstract Stygnids represent one of the most diverse harvestman families, with many endemic species in the Area of Endemism of Pernambuco, a pattern increasingly evident by intensified sampling in the region over the years. The area is also recognised for hosting a group of understudied minute leaf‐litter dwellers stygnids, represented by the following ...

An unidentified harvestman Leiobunum sp. alarmingly invading Europe (Arachnida: Opiliones) [PDF]
Etwa seit dem Jahr 2000 breitet sich eine bisher nicht identifizierte Art der Gattung Leiobunum C. L. Koch, 1839 schnell in Mitteleuropa aus. Nachweise ab dem Jahr 2004 sind aus den Niederlanden (wahrscheinlich dem Land des ersten Auftretens in Europa ...

We examined how vegetation structure and soil composition influence the diversity and distribution of Opiliones across spatial scales in Central Amazonia. At the local scale, trees provided the richest microhabitats, strongly shaping species richness and composition, while at the regional scale, soil sand content was the main driver of species turnover.
