Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.Measures of niche overlap are important tools in various ecological and evolutionary studies. Here we create and apply a multispecies overlap metric to both simulated and empirical communities, illustrating how this methodology may capture interactions and structure of niche space in ways that traditional, pairwise metrics overlook.

Relationship between colouration and body condition in a crab spider that lures pollinators [PDF]
, 2012 Sit-and-wait predators have evolved several traits that increase the probability of encountering prey, including lures that attract prey. Although most crab spiders (Thomisidae) are known by their ability to change colour in order to match the background,

Beyond Extrafloral Nectaries: Plant Traits as Drivers of Spider Occurrence in the Cerrado
Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Patterns of predator occurrence arise from a mosaic of plant‐derived cues, yet most studies address these traits in isolation. Although extrafloral nectaries have received considerable attention, we lack a comprehensive view of how multiple plant traits jointly affect the diversity and abundance of spiders.

Ineffective crypsis in a crab spider: a prey community perspective
, 2009 Cryptic coloration is assumed to be beneficial to predators because of an increased encounter rate with unwary prey. This hypothesis is, however, very rarely, if ever, studied in the field.
