We examined the relationship between body size of the riparian spider Nephila clavata and
the contribution of allochthonous (aquatic insects) and autochthonous (terrestrial insects) …

We analyzed the food source of riparian spiders in a middle reach of the Chikuma River,
Japan, by using stable isotope ratios of carbon and nitrogen. The carbon and nitrogen …

A forest-stream trophic link was examined by stable carbon isotope analyses which
evaluated the relationship of aquatic insects emerging from a stream to the diets of web …

We tested the alternative hypotheses that foraging effort will increase (energy maximizer
model) or decrease (due to increased costs or risks) when food supply increased, using a …

More than 80 incidences of fish predation by semi-aquatic spiders–observed at the fringes of
shallow freshwater streams, rivers, lakes, ponds, swamps, and fens–are reviewed. We …

Land use related habitat degradation in freshwater ecosystems has considerably increased
over the past decades, resulting in effects on the aquatic and the riparian communities …

Field experiments were performed to determine whether the spider Linyphia marginata CL
Koch is food limited, and, if so, whether a shortage of prey acts as a density—independent or …

Studies investigating effects of aquatic-derived resource subsidies have often found large
effects on terrestrial systems. Those studies have mostly been performed on effects of …

The flux of emerging aquatic insects from streams can provide a significant energy subsidy
to riparian web‐building spiders. However, despite the high temporality of aquatic insect …

Linyphiid spiders, as part of the community of natural enemies that frequent
agroecosystems, can exert significant pressure on prey populations. Many aspects of …
