Survey of Synanthropic Spiders in Ireland Reveals Expansion and Dominance of the Invasive Noble False Widow Steatoda nobilis in Urban Habitats (Araneae: Theridiidae)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Rapid urbanisation has facilitated the establishment of large populations of the Noble false widow spider outside of its native range through the use of synanthropic microhabitats. In Ireland, we survey these favourable microhabitats for spider diversity for the first time and find that the Noble false widow now typically makes up more than 40% of the ...

Phänologie und Lebenszyklus von Wolfspinnen (Araneae, Lycosidae) auf Wirtschaftswiesen des Altmühltales/Bayern

open access: yesArachnologische 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.

Working 9 to 5: Diurnal Variability in Terrestrial Invertebrate Activity Does Not Compromise Ecosystem Health Assessments in Dry Stream Channels

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 3, Page 676-688, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Temporary streams are impacted by climate change and other anthropogenic pressures, but fluctuating water levels complicate ecological assessments. Terrestrial invertebrate communities may enable dry‐phase assessments, but their sampling can be resource intensive.

Habitat Influence on Epigeic Spider Diversity in Silaka, Langeni and Kambi Forests, Eastern Cape, South Africa

open access: yesAfrican Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT In this paper, we explore spider diversity and the effects of habitat types on spider distribution in the three different types of habitats in Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. This serves as an invaluable tool for biodiversity assessment while documenting the presence of spiders taxa across different habitats in the selected study areas.

Resilience of riparian spiders to floods: evidence from a mesocosm study

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 2, Page 393-403, March 2026.
Mesocosm experiment to assess the impact of flood duration on flood‐naïve riparian spider communities. In May, spider richness decreased with flood duration, while in June, flood duration increased abundance, richness and promoted wetland specialists. Flood‐naïve riparian spiders unexpectedly appear highly resilient to flooding.

Ground spider communities in experimentally disturbed Mediterranean woodland habitats [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The protected Mediterranean woodland habitats in Israel are undergoing tree encroachment, resulting in loss of open patches with herbaceous vegetation. We suggested that this process results in a ground spider community dominated by shade-loving species.

Geographic Variation in the Diet of Red Knot (Calidris canutus) Chicks Reflects Local Prey Communities

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To describe and compare the diets of an Arctic‐breeding shorebird, the Red Knot (Calidris canutus), across three geographically distinct breeding sites. We aimed to document the dietary patterns and identify key prey groups that characterise each population's foraging ecology.
