Niche differentiation in Meta bourneti and M. menardi (Araneae, Tetragnathidae) with notes on the life history
TLDR
Despite life cycles appeared very similar, the two species seems to exhibit different tolerance to the microclimatic variations within the cave, which emerged as the main factors determining the differentiation of their niche.

Climate change may drive cave spiders to extinction
TLDR
This work characterized the thermal conditions of caves in the western Alps, and related these hypogean climate data to the occurrence of Troglohyphantes spiders, and used ecological niche modeling to predict habitat suitability both in the Pleistocene and under future global warming scenarios.
