Abstract
During a 2-year period, 47 species of spiders in 37 genera were taken in pitfall traps set within, or bordering a wheat field near Clavet, Saskatchewan. Species diversity and evenness were determined for the collections from both areas. Lycosids were predominant, both in the field and in the field borders. Seasonal distribution of captures of the two most common species, Arctosa emertoni Gertsch and Pardosa nebraska Chamberlin & Ivie, are given.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
