A Study in the Summer Phenology of Dionychious Spiders from Northern Minnesota Forests [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Dionychious ground layer spiders from Larix and Populus stands were collected by pitfall traps. The typical pattern of dominant, influent and accessory species was well marked. Populus stands had greater diversity of species than Larix stands.
