Produktbeschreibung
Sacred groves provide various ecosystem services to the local communities and by providing water for organisms living in and around the groves. Their immediate surroundings are cool and also produce plenty of oxygen into the environment. Main vegetation types of sacred groves are evergreen, semi-evergreen, moist deciduous and mangrove forests. Vegetation retains water, and releases it slowly during dry periods. This adds humidity to the air and cools it. Spiders are considered as generalist predators and have the world's most abundant taxon-insect as their main food. They can be found in approximately all terrestrial habitats in nature. Actually, they can be found in most anthropogenic habitats too. Most spider species occur as high- density populations in diverse communities. With all these properties, they have been hailed as an ideal group for studying meta community dynamics.
