Ordination and network analysis of the spider community
Abstract
The network approach is proposed to study the animal community with herpetobiont spiders of Dnipropetrovsk region as an example. The network representation is an alternative of an ordination paradigm in community structure description. The advantages of the network approaches in animal community analysis are shown. The possible directions of the herpetobiont spiders community formation of the steepe zone ofUkraine have been found. The effect of the forests on the steepe animals community is shown.References
