Ann L. Rypstraand; Paul E. Carter 1995
Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Sheet webs were more abundant in 1991.
- Observation Orb webs were more abundant in 1990.
- Association Spider abundance correlated with vegetation characteristics in 1991, suggesting habitat availability mattered for establishment.
- Association Spider abundance did not correlate with measured vegetation characteristics in 1990.
- Association Late-season spider density correlated positively with weed biomass.
- Association Soybean leaf herbivore damage correlated negatively with web-spider numbers across three years.
- Mechanism The authors suggest web-spiders may affect plant production by reducing herbivore action.
