Figure S2: Spring aspect (N=325); throphic interactions between the most abundant hunting spider groups and the community in the canopy of apple trees in spring. The middle bars represent spider groups and upper and bottom bars represent the spiders’ prey divided taxonomically and according their economic status. The width of the links between the trophic levels depict the frequency of interactions and bar widths indicate the relative abundance of each category. Numbers refer to following prey taxa: 1 Acari, 2 Araneae, 3 Coleoptera, 4 Lepidoptera, 5 Formicidae, 6 Other Hymenoptera, 7 Brachycera, 8 Nematocera, 9 Auchenorrhyncha, 10 Heteroptera, 11 Sternorrhyncha, 13 Neuroptera, 16 Trichoptera; Spiders: C.xanth = Carrhotus xanthogramma, O.salt = Other salticids, Ph.cesp = Philodromus cespitum, E.tri = tricuspidata, Xys = Xysticus spp., Club = Clubiona spp. Summer
