Spider diversity in cereal fields: comparing factors at local, landscape and regional scales

Aim Factors acting at various scales may affect biodiversity, demanding analyses at multiple spatial scales in order to understand how community richness is determined. Here, we adopted a hierarchical approach to test the contribution of region, landscape heterogeneity, local management (organic vs. conventional) and location within field (edge vs. centre) to the species richness and abundance of spiders in cereals.

Landscape effects on recolonisation patterns of spiders in arable fields (2008, unknown): “…are common on arable land in Central and Northwestern Europe (Toft, 1989; Feber et al., 1998; Samu and Szinetár, 2002; Pfiffner and Luka, 2003; Clough et al., 2005; Öberg and Ekbom, 2006) and they are known to have an impact on common insect pests such as aphids (Luczak, 1979; Nyffeler and…”
Contrasting responses of arable spiders to the landscape matrix at different spatial scales (2007, background): “Recent studies suggest that landscape composition at scales of 500 m radius and more can be relevant for spiders (Clough et al., 2005; Schmidt & Tscharntke, 2005b; Schmidt et al., 2005).”
Landscape composition influences the activity density of Carabidae and Arachnida in soybean fields. (2010, background): “Overall landscape heterogeneity has also been correlated with spider richness and abundance in wheat fields (Clough et al., 2005; Schmidt et al., 2005a; Schmidt and Tscharntke, 2005).”
How do local habitat management and landscape structure at different spatial scales affect fritillary butterfly distribution on fragmented wetlands? (2008, background): “Species-specific responses at different spatial landscape scales are little understood for insects (but see Roland and Taylor 1997), but landscape effects on insect community responses have been reported (e.g., Weibull et al. 2000; Atauri and de Lucio 2001; SteffanDewenter et al. 2002; Krauss et al.”
Landscape moderation of biodiversity patterns and processes ‐ eight hypotheses (2012, background): “…versa, is an important process affecting wildlife populations in human-dominated, fragmented landscapes (Landis et al., 2000; Krauss et al., 2004; Ries et al., 2004; Tubelis et al., 2004; Clough et al., 2005; Schmidt & Tscharntke, 2005a, b; Biological Reviews 87 (2012) 661–685 © 2012 The Authors.”
Increasing syrphid fly diversity and density in sown flower strips within simple vs. complex landscapes (2009, background): “Improving habitat diversity at the landscape scale also enhances local biodiversity and such ‘matrix effects’ may be important for many groups of beneficial arthropods (Burel et al. 1998; Weibull, Bengtsson & Nohlgren 2000; Atauri & de Lucio 2001; Jeanneret, Schüpbach & Luka 2003; Clough et al. 2005”
Organic versus conventional arable farming systems: Functional grouping helps understand staphylinid response (2007, background): “Factors such as the amount of perennial area around arable fields may thus influence species richness and activitydensity, as has been shown for other epigeic arthropod groups such as spiders and carabids (Clough et al., 2005; Purtauf et al., 2005).”
Conservation biological control and enemy diversity on a landscape scale (2007, background): “, 1998), diversity (Clough et al., 2005), predator/prey ratios (Klein et al.”
How landscape structure, land-use intensity and habitat diversity affect components of total arthropod diversity in agricultural landscapes (2007, unknown): “Thus, local spider species diversity is enhanced in patches surrounded by a larger percentage of non-crop areas, as reported elsewhere (Clough et al. 2005; Schmidt et al. 2005).”
Responses of grassland specialist and generalist beetles to management and landscape complexity (2007, background): “© 2007 The Authors Diversity and Distributions, 13, 196–202, Journal compilation © 2007 Blackwell Publishing Ltd 197 could confound the effect of management practices on biodiversity at local scale (Clough et al., 2005).”
Are spiders reacting to local or landscape scale effects in Hungarian pastures (2008, background): “For example, Clough et al. (2005) showed that landscape heterogeneity and location within-field were the best predictors of spider richness in Germany.”
Biological Control of Insect Pests in Agroecosystems: Effects of Crop Management, Farming Systems, and Seminatural Habitats at the Landscape Scale: A Review (2010, background): “We identified nine studies (Clough et al., 2005, 2007; Eilers and Klein, 2009; Östman et al., 2001a,b; Purtauf et al., 2005; Roschewitz et al., 2005b; Schmidt et al., 2005; Weibull et al., 2003) on natural enemies of insect pests that considered these two factors simultaneously, but only three of…”
Aphids and their natural enemies are differently affected by habitat features at local and landscape scales (2012, background): “According to Clough et al. (2005) within field location of the traps was one the best predictors of activity density of spiders, with greater abundances in field edges.”
Synergistic effects of ground cover and adjacent vegetation on natural enemies of olive insect pests (2013, background): “Spiders showed a strong preference for herbaceous habitats in previous studies (Sunderland and Samu, 2000; Clough et al., 2005; Schmidt and Tscharntke, 2005; Tscharntke et al., 2008; Pluess et al., 2010).”
