δ¹⁵N and δ¹³C values of juvenile <i>A. ceropegia</i> in the feeding experiment.

<p>With stable isotope Bayesian ellipses (solid line) and convex hull (dotted line) for each group. Resources (birch pollen and fruit flies) are depicted as circles, spiders fed with pollen and fruit flies as triangles and spiders only fed with fruit flies as squares.</p

Stable isotope diet analysis of field collected <i>A. diadematus</i> and their potential resources at the spruce site.

<p>A. δ¹⁵N and δ¹³C values (mean ± SD) of field collected juvenile <i>A. diadematus</i> and their potential resources. The spiderlings are depicted as individuals. B. Composition of the spider’s diet based on Bayesian mixing models. The bars represent 25%, 75% and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of the single resources the spiders incorporated.</p
