Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 126-140, February 2026.Spider dietary breadth and overlap increased with imperviousness, suggesting that prey and spiders are concentrating in vacant lots in these landscapes. Higher vegetation biomass, which results from reduced mowing frequency, was associated with increased dietary breadth and shared prey between spiders.

Ground spider communities in experimentally disturbed Mediterranean woodland habitats [PDF]
, 2011 The protected Mediterranean woodland habitats in Israel are undergoing tree encroachment, resulting in loss of open patches with herbaceous vegetation. We suggested that this process results in a ground spider community dominated by shade-loving species.

Characterization of the Omnivorous Lygus lineolaris Diet in a Strawberry Field by Metataxonomy
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.This study employs metataxonomy to reveal the extensive omnivorous diet of Lygus lineolaris in a strawberry field, identifying 475 host taxa and confirming active ingestion across plant and prey sources. We introduce a novel coefficient of omnivory, demonstrating the species' strong herbivorous bias while highlighting its dietary flexibility and ...

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 158-171, January 2026.Greece hosts 1310 species of spiders, 226 of which are endemic. Out of the 202 assessed species in IUCN standards, 64.5% are assessed as threatened. Integrating 187 articles and other forms of literature, we present 18,000 unique occurrences across continental and island Greece. Spider conservation in Greece should focus on obtaining distributional and

THE PREY ATTACK BEHAVIOR OF ACHAEARANEA TESSELATA (ARANEAE, THERIDIIDAE) [PDF]
Journal of Arachnology, 2006 The attack behavior of the cobweb spider Achaearanea tesselata (Keyserling 1884) is roughly separated into three sequential steps: descend from the suspended retreat, pass through the sheet threads, and wrap the prey from underneath the sheet. The position and speed as the spider descended varied apparently according to prey type.

Spintharus flavidus in the Caribbean—a 30 million year biogeographical history and radiation of a ‘widespread species’ [PDF]
PeerJ, 2015 The Caribbean island biota is characterized by high levels of endemism, the result of an interplay between colonization opportunities on islands and effective oceanic barriers among them.
