Taxonomic and functional patterns of arthropod succession after glacier retreat in the Dolomite Alps

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Arthropod succession after glacier retreat varied among species and forelands in the Dolomites Alps, with community composition shaped by glacier identity, time since deglaciation and local environmental conditions. Functional composition shifted from small, highly dispersive pioneer species to larger, less dispersive taxa, reflecting increasing ...

Functional and Taxonomic Structuring of Ground‐Dwelling Spider Communities Under the Combined Effects of the Environment and Metal Contamination

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Through a field study along a metal contamination gradient, we propose a combined application of taxonomic and functional approaches to study the impacts of contamination on polyphagous predators, spiders. We have demonstrated a significant impact of metal contamination on spider communities, although it operates among a set of variables (e.g ...

Hunting Guild Mediates the Effects of Fecundity and Mortality on Sexual Size Dimorphism in Spiders

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Female red‐legged golden orb‐weaver (Trichonephila inaurata madagascarensis) with a much smaller male visible near the tip of the female abdomen, southwest Madagascar. Orb‐web weavers are characterised by relatively sedentary females occupying aerial orb webs and highly mobile mate‐searching males.

Preservative Ethanol From Stomach Contents Is a Reliable Proxy for Diet DNA Metabarcoding

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
We tested whether DNA metabarcoding of preservative ethanol can substitute bulk stomach contents for reconstructing diets. Using two ethanol DNA extraction methods (precipitation and drying), the resulting profiles showed minor differences relative to each other and to bulk contents in richness, composition, and read counts, mostly limited to low ...
