Habitats and Life History
Habitats: Both Clubiona nicholsi and C. plumbi are abundant in maritime areas, but they are very sharply separated in their ecological distribution. Clubiona plumbi is most abundant in the xeric habitats, such as dune grass and dry beach drift. Clubiona nicholsi, on the other hand, is found in thick moist drift straw in the intertidal marshes. The two species never occur in the same habitat.
