Seasonality of spiders (Araneae) in Mediterranean ecosystems and its implications in the optimum sampling period (2007, background): “In one of the few published studies on ground spider seasonal richness variation in the Mediterranean ( Chatzaki et al. , 1998 ), conducted in the eastern Mediterranean, the dominant family captured by pitfall traps was, as in this case, Gnaphosidae. Apparently, this is a feature common to all Medit”
Determinants of local spider (Araneidae and Thomisidae) species richness on a regional scale: climate and altitude vs. habitat structure (2007, background): “…and topographic factors have been highlighted as relevant for spiders: humidity ( Coulson & Butterfield, 1986; Rushton et al. , 1987; Rushton & Eyre, 1992; Bonte et al. , 2002 ), temperature ( Rypstra, 1986 ), and altitude ( Urones & Puerto, 1988; Rushton & Eyre, 1992; Chatzaki et al. , 2005 ).”
Harvestman (Arachnida: Opiliones) species distribution along three Neotropical elevational gradients: an alternative rescue effect to explain Rapoport's rule? (2006, methodology): “The effect of available area on decrease in species number along the elevational gradient seems weak because those species that were present at higher elevations cover a larger total area of habitat than species restricted to lower elevations (Jones et al., 2003).”
