Evaluation was made of female density and numbers of cocoons, as well as of female fecundity characterized by the following indices: cocoon size (number of eggs laid), cocoon validity (percentage of fertilized eggs) and cocoon viability (percentage of young spiders which left the cocoon). Reproduction losses at the embryonic development stage in the cocoon, caused by embryo mortality, were calculated. The birch-aspen woodlot ecotones and ecotones with southern exposure, as compared with the Pino-Quercetum forest island ecotones, were characterized by higher individual fecundity and smaller losses in E. ovata reproduction. The differences between the ecotone and forest island interior in spider reproduction were more clear-cut in the case of the larger islands (13.5 ha).}, title={The effect of the properties of forest island ecotones in agricultural landscape on the fecundity of spider Enoplognatha ovata (Clerck)}, type={Text}, URL={http://rcin.org.pl/miiz/Content/85901/PDF/WA058_89165_P2840-T43_Eko-Pol-A-Nr-1-2.pdf}, volume={43}, number={1-2}, journal={Ekologia Polska}, publisher={Oficyna Wydawnicza Instytutu Ekologii PAN}, keywords={spiders, ecotones, reproduction, Enoplognatha ovata}, }
