Thermal niche helps to explain the ability of dung beetles to exploit disturbed habitats
(Scientific Reports, 2020-08-07)
In terrestrial ecosystems, insects face a wide range of temperatures among habitats and time; consequently, the thermal niche is one of the main determinants of habitat selection and temporal patterns of activity. The ...
Spiders (Arachnida: Araneae) in the semideciduous Atlantic Forest : An ecological and morphological trait dataset for functional studies
(Biodiversity Data Journal, 2020-03-12)
Background
The semideciduous Atlantic Forest is one of the most diverse ecosystems in the world with a great diversity of spiders. Most spider-related studies in this ecosystem focused on species richness and composition; ...
Dung beetles response to livestock management in three different regional contexts
(Scientific Reports, 2020-02-28)
The response of biological communities to human disturbances depends on factors acting at local and regional scale and on the interaction between them. We compared the response of native forest dung beetle communities to ...
Livestock grazing impact differently on the functional diversity of dung beetles depending on the regional context in subtropical forests
(Scientific Reports, 2022-01-31)
The replacement of native forest by cattle pastures reduces functional diversity; however, little is known about whether the changes depend on regional variation. Dung beetles are one of the most diverse and functionally ...
The World Spider Trait database: a centralized global open repository for curated data on spider traits
(Database, 2021-10-20)
Spiders are a highly diversified group of arthropods and play an important role in terrestrial ecosystems as ubiquitous predators, which makes them a suitable group to test a variety of eco-evolutionary hypotheses. For ...
