Ground‐Dwelling Spider Community Responses to Forest Management in a Mediterranean Oak Forest
The effect of two alternative forest management practices on spider community were tested in a Quercus pubescens forest. Negative effects were observed as soon as 25% thinning, while wood residue retention had little effects on spiders. Pardosa saltans, the dominant species of our data set, appears to be a suitable candidate for a sentinel species ...

Do oribatid mites of tropical montane rainforests respond to nitrogen and phosphorus additions?
Abstract Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) depositions worldwide are increasing the risks of biodiversity and functionality loss in terrestrial ecosystems, particularly in tropical regions. However, the effects of increased nutrient inputs on soil biodiversity in tropical regions remain largely unknown.
