Check out Jordan’s latest paper in Ecography: Temporal variation in spider trophic interactions is explained by the influence of weather on prey communities, web building and prey choice
This paper uses multivariate analysis and null network models to investigate how weather impacts the prey communities, diet, foraging choices and web structures of spiders in cereal crops, and how these data could be used to inform predictive models.
For a short accessible description, see the post on the Ecography blog: Rain or shine, spin and dine: unravelling how weather shapes spider food webs (and silk webs)!
It also made it onto the cover of the July 2023 issue of Ecography!
