The European Zoological JournalMermithid parasitoids are well known to infect spiders; however, their impact on hosts and their taxonomic identity are still poorly analyzed. We present the first record of a mermithid nematode infection in the spider genera Piratula (Lycosidae) and ...

Insect 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 ...

Arachnologische Mitteilungen, 1991 A faunistic study was carried out for two years in the valley of the river Altmühl in 1986 and 1987. With the help of 57 BARBER-traps in meadow habitats near Weissenburg-Gunzenhausen more than 14500 adult and 7700 young wolf spiders were caught.

Ecosystem services provided by spiders
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2217-2236, December 2025.ABSTRACT Spiders, ubiquitous and abundant predators in terrestrial ecosystems, often are the subjects of an unjust negative perception. However, these remarkable creatures stand as unsung heroes within our ecosystems, contributing a multitude of ecosystem services critical to human well‐being.

River Research and Applications, Volume 41, Issue 9, Page 2017-2031, November 2025.ABSTRACT Riparian ecosystems harbor diverse biota and provide numerous services to rivers including mitigating sediment run‐off, regulating temperature, and contributing food‐web subsidies. Dams are a major threat to riparian communities, but dam removal and riparian restoration efforts have the potential to restore these communities and the services ...

Web building and prey wrapping behavior of Aglaoctenus castaneus (Araneae: Lycosidae: Sosippinae)
The journal of arachnology, 2017 Funnel webs are common and widespread taxonomically, but little is known about how they are built or details of their structure. Aglaoctenus castaneus (Mello-Leitão, 1942) (Lycosidae) builds horizontal, densely meshed funnel webs of non-adhesive silk ...

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 11, Page 3152-3163, November 2025.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Agricultural landscape simplification due to the loss of semi‐natural habitats can act as an environmental filter for species and their functional traits. Both local‐ and landscape‐level factors can shape community structure; although through different mechanisms.
