Pekár, Stano; Wolff, Jonas O.; Černecká, Ľudmila; Birkhofer, Klaus; Mammola, Stefano; Lowe, Elizabeth C.; Fukushima, Caroline S.; Herberstein, Marie E.Spiders are a highly diversified group of arthropods and play an important role in terrestrial ecosystems as ubiquitous predators, which makes them a suitable group to test a variety of eco-evolutionary hypotheses. For this purpose, knowledge of a diverse range of species traits is required. Until now, data on spider traits have been scattered across thousands of publications produced for over two centuries and...
Taxonomic divergence and functional convergence in Iberian spider forest commun...
Carvalho, José Carlos; Malumbres-Olarte, Jagoba; Arnedo, Miquel A.; Crespo, Luís C.; Domenech, Marc; Cardoso, PedroAIM: The main aims were to determine: (a) the relative contribution of species replacement and richness difference from components to overall taxonomic (TD beta) and functional (FD beta) beta diversity of spider communities; (b) the degree to which TD beta and FD beta components can be explained by the environmental or geographic predictors; (c) whether FD beta components were lower than expected given the unde...
