A considerable number of alternative approaches have been suggested during the last
years to predict species richness of a given taxon, while retaining information on the …

Some arachnids (spiders, mites and pseudoscorpions) are able to use both active and
passive dispersal. The best− known passive dispersal method in arachnids is called …

Abstract In the High Arctic, the species richness of spiders is typically low, but abundances
can be very high. Thus, how the few spider species occurring in the region choose their …

An extensive survey of Linyphiidae spiders during 1988–2006 in the Gaoligong Mountains

Arthropod assemblages in the Arctic are set for substantial changes in response to climate
change, yet we know little about the ecological structure of many groups in the North. We …
