Raising the Dead: Rediscovery and redescription of some lost spider types (Araneae) described by Eugène Simon [PDF]

open access: yesEvolutionary Systematics, 2018
In this paper, we are redescribing type material from the Zoological Museum in Hamburg that was thought to be lost. These specimens were described in 1902 by Eugène Simon from material collected in Southern Patagonia and Fireland but the species were ...

Temperate forest heterogeneity decreases local and landscape‐scale spider diversity through habitat filtering despite increasing species turnover

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
In a large‐scale German forest experiment, habitat heterogeneity increased spider turnover but reduced local alpha diversity through habitat filtering. 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 ...

TAXONOMIC AND FAUNISTIC CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE SPIDER FAUNA OF IRAQ (ARANEAE)

open access: yesBulletin of the Iraq Natural History Museum
This study provides taxonomic and faunistic contributions to the knowledge of the spider fauna of Iraq (Araneae). It documents new occurrence data for several species and expands their known distribution within the country. Enoplognatha macrochelis Levy &

Spiders in the mosaic: How habitat heterogeneity and structure drive local spider diversity in a Mediterranean forest

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
We assessed alpha‐ and beta‐diversity patterns of spiders across different forests and across vegetation layers (ground, shrub, low canopy) at local spatial scales across various Mediterranean forest types. Across forests, alpha‐diversity increased with habitat heterogeneity, which also drove beta‐diversity patterns across plots .

The influence of cutting height on arthropods in farm grassland

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Mowing at a cutting height of 13 cm slightly reduced the immediate negative impact of mowing compared to mowing at a height of 7 cm. Medium‐term effects overrode this benefit: the number of vegetation‐dwelling arthropods remained strongly reduced two and four weeks after mowing, regardless of the cutting height.

Prey DNA Detection in Lycosid Spiders Is Primarily Influenced by Time Since Feeding and Primer Choice

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 789-794, July 2026.
Gut content analysis using DNA metabarcoding has improved understanding of predator–prey interactions involving spiders. We tested how starvation before feeding, time since feeding, spider size, and the presence of egg sacs or spiderlings affect prey DNA detection in Lycosidae.
