This paper presents an assessment of spider diversity in a complex landscape of southern
Mexico. Eighteen different habitats were identified, measured and mapped across this …

Spider species diversity has been associated with vegetation structure and stratification but
there are few studies comparing the spider distribution in different shrubs and trees. In this …

We made intensive samplings to study the seasonal response of spiders across different
forest strata (ground and understory) in a tropical mountain cloud forest from Mexico. We …

Beta-diversity, defined as spatial replacement in species composition, is crucial to the
understanding of how local communities assemble. These changes can be driven by …
