Comparative study of spinning field development in two species of araneophagic spiders (Araneae, Mimetidae, Australomimetus) [PDF]
External studies of spider spinning fields allow us to make inferences about internal silk gland biology, including what happens to silk glands when the spider molts.

Preliminary Observations on Zelus Obscuridorsis (Stål) (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) as Predator of the Corn Leafhopper (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) in Argentina [PDF]
The corn leafhopper Dalbulus maidis (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), is an important corn pest in most of tropical and subtropical America. This leafhopper has a rich natural enemy complex of which parasitoids and pathogens are the most studied; knowledge on ...

ABSTRACT Due to their size and corridor function, roadside verges are of concern for the conservation and protection of insects and other arthropods. Any opportunity to manage them in an insect‐friendly way, for example, insect‐friendly mowing technology, should be seen as an important contribution. Here we investigated the effectiveness of the EcoCut (

Ancient properties of spider silks revealed by the complete gene sequence of the prey-wrapping silk protein (AcSp1). [PDF]
Spider silk fibers have impressive mechanical properties and are primarily composed of highly repetitive structural proteins (termed spidroins) encoded by a single gene family.

Changes in density, diversity, and biomass with elevation differ between centipedes and spiders. Compared to centipedes, spiders are more strongly affected by environmental changes. Climatic variables act as the main drivers of centipede and spider density, diversity, and biomass, with local habitat–related factors being of secondary importance ...

International Biological Flora: Tsuga canadensis*
Eastern Hemlock is a long‐lived forest tree of eastern North America known for its deep shade and home given to many organisms. Despite surviving large‐scale clearing for agriculture when Europeans arrived, it returned to dominate when the land was abandoned in the mid 1800s.
