Spiders are key predatory arthropods that are negatively affected by spraying pesticides in orchards. The aim of this research was to determine the structure of the community of spiders in pear orchards and the impact of the intensity of spraying.

Island time and the interplay between ecology and evolution in species diversification. [PDF]
Research on the dynamics of biodiversity has progressed tremendously over recent years, although in two separate directions - ecological, to determine change over space at a given time, and evolutionary, to understand change over time.

SpiderATLAS: A Database of Spider Traits and Distributions in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest
ABSTRACT Aim Biodiversity shortfalls related to limited knowledge about geographic distribution (Wallacean) and species traits (Raunkiæran) are extremely common in many animal groups and perhaps more evident in invertebrate groups such as spiders. This lack of knowledge could present challenges for researchers investigating the response and effects of ...

Registros de arañas epigeas en Bahía Blanca, en la región templada de Argentina [PDF]
Ecological surveys of diversity and seasonal patterns of spiders in relation with cadavers have rarely been conducted, despite the high potential species diversity and abundance of spiders.

The noctuid pest western bean cutworm (Striacosta albicosta) lays its eggs in corn fields over the season. Various generalist predators consume the eggs and larvae of this pest. To improve integrated pest management of S. albicosta, this study identified key trophic interactions between S. albicosta and predatory arthropods in corn fields.

International Biological Flora: Tsuga canadensis*
Eastern Hemlock is a long‐lived forest tree of eastern North America known for its deep shade and home given to many organisms. Despite surviving large‐scale clearing for agriculture when Europeans arrived, it returned to dominate when the land was abandoned in the mid 1800s.

Behavioural and physiological adaptations of a jumping spider to a marine environment
We investigated aspects of Maratus marinus (Salticidae) behaviour and physiology that allow it to exploit the intertidal zone of its habitat and survive periods of submergence. In a simulated rising tide, spiders within densely constructed nests remained, continuing to respire while submerged. Spiders in flimsily built nests fled the oncoming tide, and
