The present study compares activity-densities and species richness of spiders in two dominant habitat types in the arid agroecosystem in the northwest Negev Desert- Intensively cultivated arable land and semi-desert.

Non-crop habitats in the landscape enhance spider diversity in wheat fields of a desert agroecosystem

It was studied whether the spider fauna in desert crops is influenced by the surrounding landscape in a similar way to that found in temperate climates.

Are spider assemblages in fragmented, semi-desert habitat affected by increasing cover of agricultural crops?

Therese Pluess, Martin Schmidt-Entling, איתי אופטובסקי, אפרת גביש-רגב, יעל לובין

Crop fields can harbor large populations of agrobionts, which may spill over into nearby semi-desert. they tested the influence of percentage area of agricultural fields on spider assemblages in semi-desert habitat of agroecosystems in the northwestern Negev desert, Israel.
