Table 1.
Overview of studied sites and respective biogeographical, ecological and spider assemblage characteristics.
Figure 1.
Hierarchical clustering of families.
Results for the UPGMA analysis with Sørensen index of dissimilarity applied to the ecological characteristics of spider families. Names of eight distinguished guilds are shown.
Figure 2.
Guild richness and abundance per site with family and species guild classifications.
Percentage of species and individuals in each of two sites in Portugal belonging to each guild according to the respective family and species classifications (family classification reflects the predominant guild in the family (Fig. 1), while species classification represents the true guild of the species).
Figure 3.
Percentage of species and individuals per family and guild in each studied site.
Table 2.
Pairwise Spearman rank correlations of family and guild richness and abundance of studied sites.
Figure 4.
Average family richness and functional diversity per site (after resampling for 1000 individuals).
Letters represent statistically different (at α<0.05) groups as determined by the resampling procedure.
