Aim The number of studies investigating the nestedness and turnover components of beta
diversity has increased substantially, but our general understanding of the drivers of …

Intensive agriculture has profoundly altered biodiversity and trophic relationships in
agricultural landscapes, leading to the deterioration of many ecosystem services such as …

Cross‐boundary fluxes of organisms and matter, termed “subsidies,” are now recognized to
be reciprocal and of roughly equal importance for both aquatic and terrestrial systems, even …

Abstract Knowledge of biodiversity in agroecosystems is crucial for understanding
ecosystem functioning, but requires accurate sampling methods. Most studies of ground …

While many arthropod species are known to depend, directly or indirectly, on certain plant
species or communities, it remains unclear to what extent vegetation shapes spider …

Assessing spider diversity remains a great challenge, especially in tropical habitats where
dozens of species can locally co-occur. Pitfall trap** is one of the most widely used …

We studied the levels of importance of water regime components for plant community
composition, hygrophilous character and species diversity in semi-natural wet grasslands …

The environmental management of rivers faces a substantial geographical problem: due to
their elongate shape and their position at the valley bottom, the area that they cover is …

Assessment of habitat restoration often rely on single-taxa approach, plants being widely
used. Arthropods might yet complement such evaluation, especially in hard, poorly …

Fishing spiders (Dolomedes spp.) make an interesting model to predict the impact of global
changes because they are generalist, opportunistic predators, whose distribution is driven …
