Edge Effects and Pitfall Trap Design Influence Spider Diversity and Assemblages in Canola Agroecosystems on the Canadian Prairies [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Spiders (Araneae) are generalist predators in agroecosystems and may contribute to biological control in canola (Brassica napus L. and B. rapa L.). However, their diversity and community structure remain understudied in the Canadian Prairies.
