Micro-scale heterogeneity of spiders (Arachnida:Araneae) in the Soutpansberg, South Africa: a comparative survey and inventory in representative habitats
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Zoology • Authors: S.H. Foord --- Department of Biological Sciences, South Africa M.M. Mafadza --- Department of Biological Sciences, South Africa A.S. Dippenaar-Schoeman --- Biosystematics Division, University of Pretoria, South Africa B.J. Van Rensburg --- Centre for Invasion Biology and Department of Zoology and Entomology, South AfricaCoarse-scale studies that focus on species distributions and richness neglect heterogeneity that may be present at finer scales. Studies of arthropod assemblage structure at fine (1 × 1 km) scales are rare, but important, because these are the spatial levels... -
