Urbanization effects are trait-specific and city-dependent across a widespread spider's global range

Bram Vanthournout, Maxime Dahirel, Angela Chuang, Katrien De Wolf, Nel D'haenekint, Isabel S. Abihssira-García, Angela M. Alicea-Serrano, Markus Andersen, Hannah M. Anderson, Leticia Avilés, James B. Barnett, Elif Ba?ar?r, Thomas R Beatman, Jesper Bechsgaard, Trine Bilde, , Dries Bonte

The paper examines how urbanization affects specific traits of the European garden spider across 22 cities, finding trait-specific and city-dependent responses.

Morphological and thermoregulatory responses to urbanization in the European garden spider Araneus diadematus.

Katrien De Wolf, Maxime Dahirel, Pieter Vantieghem, Bram Vanthournout, Mieke Soenens, Liliana D’Alba, Matthew D. Shawkey, Eva Vermeersch, Sylvia Lycke, Peter Vandenabeele, Dries Bonte

This study examines morphological and thermoregulatory responses of spiders to urbanization across spatial scales, finding size increases with urbanization while body condition declines, and no significant color change despite pigment evidence.

Urban Cepaea nemoralis snails are less likely to have nematodes trapped within their shells

Maxime Dahirel, Hannah Reyné, Katrien De Wolf, Dries Bonte

The paper examines how urbanization affects nematode trapping in Cepaea nemoralis snails, finding reduced encapsulation rates and a link between snail size and nematode presence.
