Money spider dietary choice in pre- and post-harvest cereal crops using metabarcoding

Jordan P. Cuff et al.

Summary: Money spiders play an important role in conservation biological control in cereal crops, and their prey choice dynamics can help maintain a consistent dietary intake. They tend to consume each other more than expected, showing a propensity towards intraguild predation, while also consuming common pest families.

Molecular gut content analysis indicates the inter- and intra-guild predation patterns of spiders in conventionally managed vegetable fields

Hafiz Sohaib Ahmed Saqib et al.

Summary: This study used high-throughput sequencing and biotic interaction networks to analyze the predation spectrum of spiders, highlighting interactions between predators and their prey. The results underscore the importance of spiders as predators in complex trophic networks and provide evidence for targeted conservation biological control efforts.
