Nowland, Dean R. Jerry, and Paul C. Southgate 260 Erratum COVER ILLUSTRATION Cave habitats are unusual among terrestrial habitats because most of their trophic resources are ultimately derived by transport from surface communities. The amount and distribution of these resources in caves may have strong effects on the biology of cave-dwelling species. In this issue, Manenti et al. (pp. 242–251) surveyed the “twilight zones” of many caves in two regions of Italy for the presence and abundance of a large invertebrate predator, the spider Meta menardi. An adult of that species ~17 mm in body length (excluding legs) is shown on our cover. They also quantified a variety of cave physical parameters and the abun- dance of a prey species, the fly Limonia nubeculosa. Across all caves surveyed, spiders were most likely to be found in caves with the highest abundance of prey species. Their results suggest that the distribution of trophic resources plays a large role in con- An international journal of the American Microscopical Society trolling the distribution of this predator; further, they suggest that the abundance of the easily surveyed spider may be a good indicator of the quantity of trophic resources available in a cave.
