Functional Ecology, Volume 38, Issue 7, Page 1590-1599, July 2024.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Symbiotic relationships shape ecological communities and often involve more than two species. Yet few experimental studies examine the impact of symbioses involving three species, particularly any mediating role of third parties, and none involving symbioses of ...

On the biology ofDipoena torva(Araneae: Theridiidae)
Arachnologische Mitteilungen, 1997 Data are given concerning stratification, phenology, feeding and mating behaviour of the theridiid spider Dipoena torva (THORELL, 1875). The species was found predominantly at heights of around 10 metres on the stems of oaks and pines in Berlin, Germany. The sex ratio was more or less 1:1.

Dispersal limitation shapes distance‐decay patterns of European spiders at the continental scale
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 33, Issue 4, April 2024.Abstract Aim To assess the relative relevance of dispersal limitation and species sorting as drivers of spatial turnover between spider faunas of European territories. Location Continental Europe. Time period Present. Major taxa studied Spiders (Order Araneae). Methods We analysed how distance‐decay patterns differ between northern and southern Europe (

Construction and function of the web of Tidarren sisyphoides (Araneae: Theridiidae) [PDF]
Journal of Arachnology, 2009 Abstract In this paper, we describe the construction and function of the double sheet and tangle web of Tidarren sisyphoides (Walckenaer 1842). Web construction includes several stages: construction of the scaffolding that serves to support the rest of the web; filling in the dome-shaped and horizontal sheets; and construction of the upper tangle ...

Local and landscape factors differentially influence predatory arthropods in urban agroecosystems
Ecosphere, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2024.Abstract Like other urban green spaces, urban community gardens can act as biodiversity refugees, especially for small organisms like arthropods. In turn, arthropods can provide important ecosystem pest control services to these agroecosystems. Thus, an often‐asked question among urban gardeners is how to improve gardens and surrounding areas for ...

Comparative neuroanatomy of the central nervous system in web‐building and cursorial hunting spiders
Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 532, Issue 2, February 2024.In this study, we describe the central nervous system of two cursorial hunting spiders and two stationary hunting spiders. We found major differences in the secondary eye pathway between species that pertain to visual neuropils and higher‐ order neuropils. We also found differences in the proportional volume of neuropils.
