Mantidfly larvae use cues on substrate to locate and distinguish different sexes and life stages of potential spider hosts

Scientific Reports
In many animals, early-life decisions influence long-term fitness. Mantidflies are spider egg predators; their tiny larvae climb aboard spiders to find eggs, but little is known about how they find spiders. We tested the hypothesis that mantidfly larvae (

A wolf in sheep's clothing: The description of a fly resembling jumping spider of the genus Scoturius Simon, 1901 (Araneae: Salticidae: Huriini).

PLoS ONE, 2018
Fly resemblance in arthropods is much less common than e.g., resemblance to ants or wasps, and has been mainly observed in beetles. Putative fly mimicry in arachnids has been reported only from the jumping spider genus Saitis.

Sublethal Clothianidin Exposure Increases Trait Variation and Drives Sex‐Specific Selection in the Water Strider Gerris latiabdominis

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We highlight the importance of considering insecticide effects on trait variance and selection—not merely trait means—to fully understand evolutionary changes in non‐target populations. We suggest incorporating sublethal effects on semi‐aquatic predatory insects into ecological risk assessments on agroecosystems. ABSTRACT Agricultural insecticides pose

Morphodynamic adjustment in a watershed affected by megafires: Deadman River, British Columbia, Canada

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 8, August 2026.
The Deadman River watershed (British Columbia, Canada) was severely impacted by the Sparks Lake Fire in 2021. Timelapse photogrammetry reveals sharp post‐fire channel widening and increase in migration rate. Through multispectral remote‐sensing analysis, these morphodynamic changes are related to burn severity affecting the watershed.

Evidence for dispersal personality in the guppy across ecological conditions, with a minor effect of relative brain size

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Individuals that disperse typically exhibit specific phenotypical traits that facilitate dispersal and settlement success, known as ‘dispersal syndromes'. Consequentially, characterizing dispersers is crucial to understand other processes such as metapopulation dynamics and biological invasions.

Human eyetracking reveals a general avoidance of spider images but a bias toward spider-specific features

Frontiers in Arachnid Science
Many people are afraid of spiders and consider them to be both dangerous and disgusting, which can negatively impact their mental well-being as well as their relationship with nature.
