Arctic-Alpine and Boreo-Montane spider (Araneae) species in epigeic spider communities in the Subalpine zone of the Eastern Alps
Epigeic spider communities from 57 localities situated at altitudes of 1500 m up to 2300 m were analysed with the aim of evaluating any impact of arctic-alpine and boreo-montane spider species on these communities. 27 spider species having such disjunct distribution patterns were found. In 14 subalp...
