Gene Expression and Structural Differences Underpinning Black and White Colouration in Spiders. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT The presence of multiple color variants within a single population, known as color polymorphism, is a striking example of intraspecific phenotypic variation and a model for studying evolutionary processes. These processes depend on the underlying mechanisms such as the genes and pigments involved; but we currently lack such information for non‐

Sperm Transfer Under Behavioral and Morphological Constraints in the Orb-Web Spider Genus Argiope. [PDF]
Integr ZoolThe polygamous mating system of the orb‐web spider genus Argiope provides a model to study the evolution of sperm transfer under morphological and behavioral constraints. This helps us to understand how male and female behavioral and morphological reproductive traits influence sperm transfer.

An Analysis of Factors Affecting Genotyping Success from Museum Specimens Reveals an Increase of Genetic and Morphological Variation during a Historical Range Expansion of a European Spider. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Natural history collections house an enormous amount of plant and animal specimens, which constitute a promising source for molecular analyses. Storage conditions differ among taxa and can have a dramatic effect on the success of DNA work.

De opmars van de wespenspin Argiope bruennichi in Nederland (Araneae: Araneidae)
, 2000 The expansion of the range of the spider Argiope bruennichi in the Netherlands (Araneae: Araneidae) Argiope bruennichi (Scopoli, 1772) is one of the biggest and most colourful spiders in Europe and therefore easy to recognise, even by non-specialists.

Dispersal and life-history traits in a spider with rapid range expansion
Movement Ecology, 2020 Background Dispersal and reproduction are key life-history traits that jointly determine species’ potential to expand their distribution, for instance in light of ongoing climate change.

Old maids have more appeal: effects of age and pheromone source on mate attraction in an orb-web spider [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Background. In many insects and spider species, females attract males with volatile sex pheromones, but we know surprisingly little about the costs and benefits of female pheromone emission. Here, we test the hypothesis that mate attraction by females is

Proceedings of the YSU B: Chemical and Biological Sciences, 2022 The article presents the first record of the genus Argiope, orb-weaver spiders from the Araneidae family in Armenia. The two female specimens of Argiope bruennichi (Scopoli, 1772) were found in the Lori Region (northern part), and two specimens of the female spider of Argiope lobata (Pallas, 1772) were recorded in the Tavush Region (north-eastern part)
