The heterobimetallic amino‐acid dithiocarbamates [M(H2O)n]2[Pt(L)2] (M = Ca, Sr, Ba, Zn, Cd; L = N‐dithioato‐iminodiacetate) are thermally dehydrated to their respective anhydrates M2[Pt(L)2], which further yield metal sulfate or oxide particles decorated with finely distributed metallic platinum upon combustion in air. The thermal decomposition of the

Together, these effects lowered landscape‐scale spider diversity. As such, the study shows whether environmental heterogeneity increases or decreases biodiversity depends on the balance between habitat ...
