Nature ·
The Brief
- A study reports that aquatic subsidies increase the resilience of riparian spider communities after pulse disturbance.
- The finding was listed in nature.com's biological sciences subject feed on 2026-11-09.
- The source provided no summary, so the study's methods and effect sizes are not available here.
Why it matters
It suggests that inputs of aquatic prey can help riparian spider communities recover from sudden disturbances, which links freshwater and land food webs in ecological management.
