Spider (Araneae) Abundance and Diversity Across Land‐Use Gradients
We sampled spider populations in economically important kiwifruit orchards that are adjacent to either low‐disturbance ecosystems (native forest) or high‐disturbance ecosystems (maize), using pitfall traps and active sampling. A total of 2710 spiders were collected from 27 families, representing 64 species and eight functional guilds.

Where early successional forests are more flammable than old‐growth forests, forested landscapes are vulnerable to shifting into ‘fire traps' through positive feedbacks, where fire leads to more fire. These feedbacks are amplified by increased flammability driven by climate change, the presence of non‐native flammable plant species, and slowed ...

The growing burden of expired medicines contributes to environmental contamination and landfill waste accumulation. Medicinal honey, with its non-toxic nature and potentially long shelf-life, represents a promising and underutilised therapeutic that ...

Geochemical constraints imposed by ultramafic lithologies strongly affect soil and ecosystem development, typically signified by elevated trace element concentrations, nutrient imbalances and reduced biological productivity. In a reconnaissance study, we assessed the variability of soil and ecosystem conditions across a moraine complex with mixed ...

Phenology, Mating Behaviour, and Ecology of a Wild New Zealand Nurseryweb Spider (Dolomedes minor)
Population dynamics are key to the understanding of mating systems, and in particular, sex ratios provide an insight into the evolutionary pressures governing a mating system. Variation in sex ratios can influence mate competition, parental investment strategies, and ultimately shape mating rates and the reproductive success of individuals within a ...
