Farmland is a major land cover type in Europe and Africa and provides habitat for numerous species. The severe decline in farmland biodiversity of the last decades has been attributed to changes in farming practices, and organic and low‐input farming are assumed to mitigate detrimental effects of agricultural intensification on biodiversity. Since the farm enterprise is the primary unit of agricultural decision making, managem...

The relationship of interpopulation genetic divergence and within‐population diversity has been studied for many temperate species in Europe, but not for the cold‐adapted fauna. Here we present the first European‐wide phylogeographical study of an arctic–alpine distribution in invertebrates, focusing on wolf spiders of the Pardosa saltuaria group. One hundred twenty‐seven (127) specimens from 14 populations were examined. With...
