Ecological Differences

Wetland ecosystems may be affected by deposition and accumulation of heavy metals. Metal concentrations in the spidersPirata piraticusandClubiona phragmitisliving in marshes along the river Scheldt (Flanders, Belgium) were analyzed. The organisms were sampled on seven sites along a gradient from freshwater to brackish marshes. Except for lead, P. piraticus contained higher metal concentrations thanC. phragmitis. This is related to physiological and ecological differences between species. No correlation was found between metal concentration in the organisms and soil total concentration.
