A mosaic of patches in various successional stages is key to maintaining high biodiversity in
open temperate woodlands. The abandonment of traditional management, such as once …

The influence of vegetation structure on spider species richness, diversity and community
organization in the Apšuciems calcareous fen, Latvia.—Calcareous fens are considered to …

Aim Epiphytic plants are isolated from each other by nonhabitat canopy elements and are
thus expected to act as islands, the biodiversity of their inhabitants (eg, spiders) conforming …

We made intensive samplings to study the seasonal response of spiders across different
forest strata (ground and understory) in a tropical mountain cloud forest from Mexico. We …

The forest canopy offers a vertical gradient across which variation in predation pressure
implies variation in refuge quality for arthropods. Direct and indirect experimental …

The eastern spruce budworm (Choristoneura fumiferana, Clem.) is a native irruptive forest
pest that defoliates spruce‐fir forests throughout North America's boreal zone.(2) Past …

Biological assessments of forest systems often involve a single ground-invertebrate
sampling method that may ignore the biological component of the non-sampled canopy …

We compared the structure of spider assemblages between the upper and lower canopy
layers, and between the canopy and forest floor, in plantations of evergreen cedar …

Las arañas han logrado colonizar la mayoría de ambientes terrestres, siendo comunes en
los bosques. Este grupo se ha reportado desde el suelo hasta el dosel y sus patrones de …

Aim Positive relationships between island size and species richness have been found for
oceanic and non‐oceanic islands. However, the effect of isolation, also predicted by island …
