Feeding habits and multifunctional classification of soil‐associated consumers from protists to vertebrates
Soil organisms drive major ecosystem functions by mineralising carbon and releasing
nutrients during decomposition processes, which supports plant growth, aboveground …

Stabilized morphological evolution of spiders despite mosaic changes in foraging ecology
A prominent question in animal research is how the evolution of morphology and ecology
interacts in the generation of phenotypic diversity. Spiders are some of the most abundant …

Challenges and opportunities of species distribution modelling of terrestrial arthropod predators
Abstract Aim Species distribution models (SDMs) have emerged as essential tools in the
equipment of many ecologists, useful to explore species distributions in space and time and …

Does female control and male mating system predict courtship investment and mating outcomes? A comparative study in five widow spider species (genus …
Background Male courtship investment may evolve in response to the male's expectation of
future mating opportunities or the degree of female control during mating interactions. We …

A comparison of two widely used methods for estimating taxonomic and functional diversities of epigeal arthropods in some temperate grasslands
Suction sampling is increasingly being used to estimate abundance and diversity of epigeal
arthropods, yet no study has quantified its efficiency to simultaneously assess diversity at …
