dc.description.abstractThe role of spiders as generalist predators of herbivores is an important issue for prey population dynamics and spatial distribution. We conducted a field experiment in order to study the effects of the web-building spider Argiope bruennichi on plant- and leafhoppers in a grassland habitat. Spider densities were manipulated through repeated removal in open plots that were separated by mown strips, and effects on Auchenorrhyncha were recorded in two blocks of different plot sizes by suction sampling. We found significant negative effects of A. bruennichi on the abundance and biomass of their prey in both blocks. The most abundant planthopper Delphacodes venosus was most severely affected. However, this species is strictly epigeic, and therefore, predation through a web-building spider is unlikely to be the main cause for its decline. We suggest that non-lethal effects of spiders could be an important factor for the dynamics of herbivore communities in grassland foodwebs.eng

dc.description.noteDie Zeitschrift "Cicadina" (vormals "Beiträge zur Zikadenkunde") ist ein Publikationsorgan für deutsch- und englischsprachige Originalarbeiten aus den Gebieten der Ökologie und Biologie, Systematik und Taxonomie sowie Zoogeographie und Faunistik von Zikaden (Fulgoromorpha und Cicadomorpha, Auchenorrhyncha) sowie Psylloidea (Blattflöhe) und weiterer systematisch und ökologisch assoziierter Artengruppen mit einem Schwerpunkt auf der Westpaläarktis. Bisher sind 12 Hefte und 1 Supplementheft erschienen (siehe Archiv). Ab dem Heft 13 (2013) erscheint die Zeitschrift als Online-Zeitschrift (open access) an der Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg.ger
dc.description.noteThe Journal „Cicadina“ (formerly „Beiträge zur Zikadenkunde“) is a forum for covering the fields of ecology and biology, systematics and taxonomy as well as zoogeography and faunistics, published in German or English. It focuses on Fulgoromorpha (planthoppers), Cicadomorpha (leafhoppers) as well as on Psylloidea (jumping plant lice) and other groups which are associated systematically or ecologically. So far 17 issues and 1 supplement volume were published (see below and archive). With issue 13 (2013) the journal is an open access journal hosted by the Martin-Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (Germany).eng
