European Journal of Immunology, Volume 56, Issue 2, February 2026.Mechanism of action of the intestinal microbiota on CNS autoimmune diseases. Environmental factors shape gut microbiota composition; dysbiosis alters microbial metabolites and antigenic signals. These modulate innate and adaptive immunity, affect barrier integrity, and influence CNS‐resident cells such as microglia and astrocytes, contributing to ...

Airborne DNA and Spider Webs Outperform Other eDNA Sources for Monitoring Terrestrial Vertebrates
Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Understanding the strengths and limitations of different environmental DNA substrates is essential for optimising terrestrial vertebrate surveys and monitoring. However, the performance of newly explored substrates (airborne eDNA, vegetation swabs, spiderwebs) compared to longstanding eDNA sources (water and soil) is uncertain.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 158-171, January 2026.Greece hosts 1310 species of spiders, 226 of which are endemic. Out of the 202 assessed species in IUCN standards, 64.5% are assessed as threatened. Integrating 187 articles and other forms of literature, we present 18,000 unique occurrences across continental and island Greece. Spider conservation in Greece should focus on obtaining distributional and

Ontogeny repeats phylogeny in Steatoda and Latrodectus spiders [PDF]
, 2010 Web designs of young spiders are often less derived than those of older conspecific individuals. This study tested whether this ‘‘ontogeny repeats phylogeny’’ pattern occurs in two species of Latrodectus and two species of the closely related genus ...
