Survey of Synanthropic Spiders in Ireland Reveals Expansion and Dominance of the Invasive Noble False Widow <i>Steatoda nobilis</i> in Urban Habitats (Araneae: Theridiidae). [PDF]
Ecol EvolRapid urbanisation has facilitated the establishment of large populations of the Noble false widow spider outside of its native range through the use of synanthropic microhabitats. In Ireland, we survey these favourable microhabitats for spider diversity for the first time and find that the Noble false widow now typically makes up more than 40% of the ...

A Deep Metagenomic Snapshot as a Proof-of-Concept for Resource Generation: Simultaneous Assembly of Host, Food, and Microbiome Genomes From Stingless Bee Larval Food. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study serves as a proof‐of‐concept, demonstrating that deep shotgun sequencing of a single complex sample—stingless bee larval food—can simultaneously generate multiple genomic resources. From this dataset, we assembled three genomes (a near‐complete bacterium, a draft host mitochondrion, and a fragmented plant chloroplast) with varying ...

Status of \u3ci\u3eZygiella\u3c/i\u3e and \u3ci\u3eParazygiella\u3c/i\u3e (Araneae: Araneidae) in the Great Lakes States [PDF]
, 2018 A confusing nomenclatural history has resulted in the persistence of the idea that Parazygiella montana (C. L. Koch, 1834), a Palearctic species of orbweaver (Araneae: Araneidae), occurs in the Great Lakes states. I discuss this nomenclatural history and
