Does urbanization have positive or negative effects on Crab spider (Araneae: Thomisidae) diversity?
Zoologia (Curitiba), 2017 Urbanization has a great impact on the diversity of living organisms. Spiders, for example, have been shown to respond negatively (some orb weaving species) and positively (ground dwelling species) to urbanization.

Edge Effects and Pitfall Trap Design Influence Spider Diversity and Assemblages in Canola Agroecosystems on the Canadian Prairies. [PDF]
Ecol EvolSpiders are important generalist predators in canola agroecosystems, but their diversity remains poorly studied on the Canadian Prairies. We surveyed spider assemblages in the Aspen Parkland region and tested pitfall trap modifications to improve sampling.

Effects of Crop Rotation Diversification and Livestock Integration on Above-Ground Arthropod Dynamics Under Conservation Agriculture. [PDF]
Ecol EvolDiverse crops in conservation agriculture systems can support a variety of arthropods, while sampling methods affected arthropod diversity outcomes. Canola‐Medics‐Wheat‐Medics rotation had a varied effect on arthropod diversity. We suggest that multiple taxa are necessary to compare diversification practices.
