Biogeographical diversity is central to the trophic ecology of predators. Understanding the
biogeographical trophic patterns of generalist predators, such as the red fox V ulpes vulpes …

We updated a previous database that compiled all the information available in 2010 for the
species distribution of spiders (Araneae) in the Iberian Peninsula, Balearic Islands (Illes …

Background A large scale semi-quantitative biodiversity assessment was conducted in white
oak woodlands in areas included in the Spanish Network of National Parks, as part of a …

For 107 endemic mammal species in the Afro-Arabian region, Sahara-Sahel and Arabian
Desert, we used ensemble species distribution models to:(1) identify the hotspot areas for …

Aim The main aims were to determine:(a) the relative contribution of species replacement
and richness difference from components to overall taxonomic (TDβ) and functional (FDβ) …

Cave-obligate organisms usually have smaller ranges and their assemblages have higher
beta diversity than their epigean counterparts. Phylogenetic and functional diversity is …

Aim Our aim was to determine the relative contribution of species replacement and richness
differences to overall beta diversity in Macaronesian spiders, the influence of several …

Aim Due to the important role of lianas in the functioning of forest ecosystem, knowledge of
the factors that affect them are important in the management of forests. Currently, there are …

Assessing spider diversity remains a great challenge, especially in tropical habitats where
dozens of species can locally co-occur. Pitfall trapping is one of the most widely used …

Characterizing and monitoring biodiversity and assessing its drivers require accurate and
comparable data on species assemblages, which, in turn, should rely on efficient and …
