Insights Into Spatial Orientation and Cognition in Tarantulas (Araneae: Theraphosidae) Under Natural Conditions, With Notes on Possible Ontogenetic Niche Shifts

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Cognitive studies on spiders have largely ignored mygalomorphs, such as tarantulas, and almost completely lack field‐based observations. We present nine observations of arboreal and fossorial New World tarantulas, including a blind cave‐dwelling species, providing evidence for possible experience‐based navigation and spatial learning during foraging ...

Artificial Pond Habitats Placed in an Australian Berry Farm Support Invertebrate Diversity Including Pollinating Flies

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study investigated whether small, artificial ponds deployed within a commercial farm can function as microhabitats supporting diverse invertebrate communities. We recorded 40 invertebrate taxa from nine orders utilising the ponds, including honey bees, lady beetles and spiders, as well as three species of eristaline hoverflies.

Intragenic homogenization and multiple copies of prey-wrapping silk genes in Argiope garden spiders. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
BackgroundSpider silks are spectacular examples of phenotypic diversity arising from adaptive molecular evolution. An individual spider can produce an array of specialized silks, with the majority of constituent silk proteins encoded by members of the ...

Die Baumkronenspinnen (Araneae) des Leipziger Auwaldes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The canopy spiders of the floodplain forest in Leipzig have become a focus of ecological studies in recent years. In 2006 we sampled 30 tree canopies in the ‘Burgaue’ nature reserve with pyrethrum knock-down fogging, recording 502 adult spiders belonging

Spiders in a hostile world (Arachnoidea, Araneae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Spiders are powerful predators, but the threats confronting them are numerous. A survey is presented of the many different arthropods which waylay spiders in various ways. Some food-specialists among spiders feed exclusively on spiders.

Seasonal Dietary Changes Drive Adaptive Responses in the Gut Microbiota and Function of Myotis chinensis

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This research clarifies the synergistic adaptive interactions between seasonal foraging strategies and gut microbiome composition in Chinese chiropterans. Microbial diversity and community structure exhibit seasonal fluctuations, with functional metabolic pathways aligning to host reproductive cycles and hibernation physiology, thereby substantiating ...
