Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.We assessed alpha‐ and beta‐diversity patterns of spiders across different forests and across vegetation layers (ground, shrub, low canopy) at local spatial scales across various Mediterranean forest types. Across forests, alpha‐diversity increased with habitat heterogeneity, which also drove beta‐diversity patterns across plots .

Crab spider vision improves their prey capture despite low visual system investment [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceCrab spiders (Thomisidae) are well-known predators, typically ambushing prey upon flowers and other plants. This style of predation suggests a potential benefit from vision in prey capture by crab spiders despite their comparatively small eyes.

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Derelict fishing gear can negatively affect marine ecosystems through mortality in coastal environments. This study explored the impact of derelict and active crab pots on recreational blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) catch rates and landings in a Mid‐Atlantic estuary by deploying experimental pots in four habitat strata within three sections ...

Defecation in preparation for ecdysis drives microplastic clearance in cricket nymphs
Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.In preparation for ecdysis, cricket nymphs cease feeding and gradually clear their gut contents via frass production, which removes most ingested MPs from their digestive tract. Following exoskeletal moulting, the foregut lining, including any remaining MPs, is shed and excreted alongside frass approximately 6 h later.
