The first check list of the Hungarian spider fauna is presented since the 1918 check list by
Chyzer and Kulczynski. All pre-1900 records are included from the Chyzer and Kulczynski …

Variation in species richness at the landscape scale is an important consideration in
conservation planning and natural resource management. To assess the ability of rapid …

The majority of creatures are invertebrates. Invertebrate animals are the major energy
conduits and agents of nutrient and material recycling in marine, freshwater, and terrestrial …

The habitat heterogeneity hypothesis states that the more complex the habitat, the higher the
species richness. The present study analyzes the effect of local factors on regional spider …

Since estimates of total species richness increase with sampling effort, methods to control for
this sampling effect need to be tested and used. We present seven non‐parametric and 12 …

Selection of informative focal groups is an important avenue to increasing the applications of
invertebrates in conservation assessments and inventory studies, and to help overcome the …

Apple is grown as a long‐term perennial crop and orchards provide relatively stable
ecological habitats. Only a small proportion of the diverse fauna of arthropods that can …

Although invertebrates play a key role in the environment, their conservation and use in
environmental monitoring is often considered" too difficult" and consequently ignored. One …

Spiders were sampled using insecticide knockdown in an African montane forest in the
Uzungwa Mountains of Tanzania. The results are used to discuss the faunal composition at …
