Abstract: Studies on the effects of grazing disturbances in grasslands have shown mixed results for spider diversity, mainly regarding their guilds. While ungrazing, low, and moderate grazing potentially enhance the diversity of orb-weavers in spider communities,… read more here.

DOI: 10.12688/wellcomeopenres.18638.1
Abstract: We present a genome assembly from an individual male Meta bourneti (the cave orb-weaver; Arthropoda; Arachnida; Araneae; Tetragnathidae). The genome sequence is 1,383 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 13 chromosomal… read more here.
