Effects of social information on life history and mating tactics of males in the orb‐web spider Argiope bruennichi [PDF]
Informed mating decisions are often based on social cues providing information about prospective mating opportunities. Social information early in life can trigger developmental modifications and influence later mating decisions. A high adaptive value of

Sperm dynamics in spiders (Araneae): ultrastructural analysis of the sperm activation process in the garden spider Argiope bruennichi (Scopoli, 1772). [PDF]
Storage of sperm inside the female genital tract is an integral phase of reproduction in many animal species. The sperm storage site constitutes the arena for sperm activation, sperm competition and female sperm choice. Consequently, to understand animal

Asymmetric performance in early life stages of hybrid Argiope bruennichi
Hybridisation of different species or isolated populations is an important driver of animal speciation. Hybrid populations oftentimes outperform their parent populations due to novel genetic combinations, exhibiting hybrid vigour. Conversely, hybridisation can also lead to worse performance due to outbreeding depression.

Publication Journals of Research on Wasp Spider, Argiope bruennichi: Specialized or General? [PDF]
This original research article discusses the publication trends of research on the wasp spider, Argiope bruennichi (Scopoli, 1772), in specialized arachnological journals versus general scientific journals. Context on arachnological journals and their role in publishing spider-related research is introduced. It also introduces A. bruennichi as a widely

Consumption of a hornet by a wasp spider, Argiope bruennichi (Araneae: Araneidae) [PDF]
The wasp spider Argiope bruennichi is a generalist predator. However, cases that A. bruennichi preyed on hornets (Vespa spp.) have been rarely known. On the contrary, the hornet is one of the natural enemies of the wasp spider. In the present study, observation of an unusual case regarding the consumption of a yellow-vented hornet Vespa analis ...

New Insight Into the Evolutionary Arms Race Between Spider Egg Sac Pseudoparasitoids and Active Maternal Care by the Spiders. [PDF]
We analysed various points of the counter‐adaptations of the spider egg sac pseudoparasitoid and spiders exhibiting active maternal care, utilising the ichneumonid Hidryta fusiventris and the wolf spider Pardosa lugubris. We observed that there is a time shift of approximately 1 month between the first egg sac of P.
