• Worldwide decline of specialist species: toward a global functional homogenization? (2011, background): “Continuous measurements of specialization have been developed for different taxonomic groups, including birds (Julliard et al. 2006), spiders (Entling et al. 2007), and trees (Fridley et al. 2007), which facilitates the study of this trait in various contexts (eg different spatial scales and…”
• Functional homogenization of bird communities along habitat gradients: accounting for niche multidimensionality (2010, background): “In Europe, separate indicators would probably be necessary for the different biogeographic regions (EEA, 2002).”
• Contrasting responses of arable spiders to the landscape matrix at different spatial scales (2007, background): “Spiders are an abundant, species-rich group with high dispersal potential and varying degrees of habitat specialization (Bell et al., 2005; Entling et al., 2007).”
• Body size–climate relationships of European spiders (2010, background): “Although direct measures of climate were not available for the habitats, a broad classification of habitat types with respect to climate revealed a highly significant differentiation from cool/ moist to warm/dry habitats on the second axis of a correspondence analysis (Entling et al., 2007).”
• Ground spider assemblages as indicators for habitat structure in inland sand ecosystems (2010, methodology): “Ecological traits of spider species were expressed as shading (preference either for habitat openness or for vegetation cover) and moisture preference (preference for habitat moistness or dryness) as calculated by Entling et al. (2007).”
• Green corridors in urban landscapes affect the arthropod communities of domestic gardens (2012, methodology): “Factors at the local scale, such as the composition of habitats, microclimatic conditions or patch area, could strongly shape spider metacommunities (Entling et al., 2007; Le Viol et al., 2008).”
