DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9701
Abstract: Abstract Wolf spiders are typically the most common group of arthropod predators on both lake and marine shorelines because of the high prey availability in these habitats. However, shores are also harsh environments due to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.1703
Abstract: Despite the breadth of research on impacts of dense ungulate populations and invasive plants on native vegetation, work involving indirect effects on spider communities is explicitly lacking. Forest spiders depend on palatable insect prey and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10531-020-02058-7
Abstract: Understanding the causes behind species richness and endemicity is fundamental to explain biodiversity and assist conservation management, especially in biodiversity hotspots like the Mediterranean Basin. Here we investigate the patterns in Iberian forest spider communities… read more here.

DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4899.1.18
Abstract: Expanding range is an inherent feature of any species and may be caused by climate change, destruction or other change of habitat, or lack of natural enemies. In a new habitat the species may be… read more here.

DOI: 10.6620/zs.2022.61-50
Abstract: Spiders play a key role in the ecological dynamics in riparian habitats. However, most studies on the effects of changes in riparian habitats on spider communities have focused on the conversion of riparian forest to… read more here.
