Can Widely Used Methods Be Turned Into eDNA Samplers for Ground‐Dwelling Arthropods? Insights From Two Pilot Studies in West European Salt Marshes

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 2, Page 164-177, February 2026.
This study evaluates bulk and eDNA metabarcoding via suction sampling and modified pitfall traps to monitor salt marsh arthropods. Suction sampling excelled in detecting overlooked taxa, whereas pitfalls were effective for Scarabaeinae. Results underscore the importance of adapting protocols to specific taxa and habitats and highlight the effects of ...

Cave depth and subterranean connectivity are drivers of intraspecific trait variability in two subterranean congeneric beetles

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 153-164, February 2026.
The abundance of cave beetles increases with depth, with Duvalius hartigi exhibiting maximum densities at greater depths in volcanic systems. Troglomorphic traits become more pronounced with increasing depth exclusively in the alpine species Duvalius carantii.

Vegetation biomass and landscape context influence web‐building spider dietary breadth in urban vacant lots

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 126-140, February 2026.
Spider dietary breadth and overlap increased with imperviousness, suggesting that prey and spiders are concentrating in vacant lots in these landscapes. Higher vegetation biomass, which results from reduced mowing frequency, was associated with increased dietary breadth and shared prey between spiders.

Weaving together the past, present and future of Greek arachnofauna: Biodiversity, knowledge gaps and conservation

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 158-171, January 2026.
Greece hosts 1310 species of spiders, 226 of which are endemic. Out of the 202 assessed species in IUCN standards, 64.5% are assessed as threatened. Integrating 187 articles and other forms of literature, we present 18,000 unique occurrences across continental and island Greece. Spider conservation in Greece should focus on obtaining distributional and

The value of public databases for our knowledge of national spider biodiversity compared to a long‐term scientific monitoring project

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 228-239, January 2026.
Records in citizen science platforms in Sweden are biased towards visible, diurnal, urban species but provide a cost‐effective way to gather large datasets and engage the public. National scientific surveys like the Swedish Malaise Trap Project remain essential to detect rare and cryptic species without activity bias, though some spider families are ...

The faunistic diversity of cave-dwelling spiders (Arachnida, Araneae) of Greece [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Until today, from Greek caves a total of 109 species of spiders belonging to 25 families are known. One species, the linyphiid Porrhomma convexum (Westring, 1861) was recorded here for the first time in Greece. The 109 species are distributed in caves of
