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 ...

Solar parks provide heterogeneous habitats for winter‐active ground‐dwelling predatory arthropods

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 59-73, February 2026.
Forest provides stable temperature and high humidity, harbouring mainly forest‐associated winter‐active ground‐dwelling predatory arthropods. Grassland and abandoned farmland experience extreme temperatures, favouring mainly dry‐habitat winter‐active ground‐dwelling predatory arthropods.

Reliance on blue, green, and brown energy channels drives a shift in the trophic position of riparian spiders

open access: yesEcology, Volume 107, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Understanding the mechanisms shaping food chain length (FCL) has long been central to food web ecology. FCL is a key determinant of stability, energy flow efficiency, and biodiversity maintenance, but there is an ongoing debate about its underlying drivers.

The significance of woody vegetation's nonproductive elements for the overwintering of key biocontrol agents in intensively used agricultural areas

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 1, Page 252-261, January 2026.
Nonproduction woody vegetation provides crucial overwintering habitats for spiders, enhancing biocontrol services in agricultural landscapes. Incorporating these habitats into land management supports ecosystem services and biodiversity. Abstract BACKGROUND Successful overwintering habitats are critical for the long‐term survival of biocontrol agents ...

Transcriptome assembly and expression profiling of the molecular responses to cadmium toxicity in cerebral ganglia of wolf spider Pardosa pseudoannulata (Araneae: Lycosidae)

open access: yesEcotoxicology, 2018
Cadmium (Cd) is a heavy metal that can cause irreversible toxicity to animals, and is an environmental pollutant in farmlands. Spiders are considered to be an excellent model for investigating the impacts of heavy metals on the environment.

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
