• Description: Spider communities were investigated in the canopies of three coniferous (Larix decidua, Picea abies, Pinus sylvestris) and three deciduous (Alnus glutinosa, Quercus petraea, Quercus rubra) tree species. Our aim was to find out whether these tree species host different spider communities within mixed forest stands.
