Island time and the interplay between ecology and evolution in species diversification. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Research on the dynamics of biodiversity has progressed tremendously over recent years, although in two separate directions - ecological, to determine change over space at a given time, and evolutionary, to understand change over time.

The impact of invasive alien species on threatened and endangered species: A geographic perspective

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 48, Issue 4, December 2024.
To help guide recovery efforts, we document how invasive alien species (IAS) impact threatened and endangered species (T&ES) under the Endangered Species Act. Our research shows that 58% of T&ES (n = 1,545) were impacted by IAS, with Pacific Island species (97%) facing greater threats from IAS compared to Mainland (38%) and Atlantic Island species (22%)

Effect of Selected Essential Oils on Brown Recluse Spider Control [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Loxosceles reclusa isconsidered a pest throughout its range in the US due mostly to the effects of its venomous bite (Sandidge and Hopwood, 2005).

The emerging field of venom-microbiomics for exploring venom as a microenvironment, and the corresponding Initiative for Venom Associated Microbes and Parasites (iVAMP) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Venom is a known source of novel antimicrobial natural products. The substantial, increasing number of these discoveries have unintentionally culminated in the misconception that venom and venom-producing glands are largely sterile environments.

Discovery of broadly‐neutralizing antibodies against brown recluse spider and Gadim scorpion sphingomyelinases using consensus toxins as antigens

open access: yesProtein Science, Volume 33, Issue 3, March 2024.
Abstract Broadly‐neutralizing monoclonal antibodies are becoming increasingly important tools for treating infectious diseases and animal envenomings. However, designing and developing broadly‐neutralizing antibodies can be cumbersome using traditional low‐throughput iterative protein engineering methods. Here, we present a new high‐throughput approach

Characterization of a new Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV) polyhedra mutant [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In the very late phase of baculovirus infection, virions are occluded in a crystalline matrix called polyhedra, which is mainly composed of polyhedrin. This protein is highly conserved among baculoviruses and changes in its amino acid sequence may lead ...

Phospholipase D toxins of brown spider venom convert lysophosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin to cyclic phosphates. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Venoms of brown spiders in the genus Loxosceles contain phospholipase D enzyme toxins that can cause severe dermonecrosis and even death in humans.

Registros de arañas epigeas en Bahía Blanca, en la región templada de Argentina [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Ecological surveys of diversity and seasonal patterns of spiders in relation with cadavers have rarely been conducted, despite the high potential species diversity and abundance of spiders.

Loxosceles spider bites in the state of Paraná, Brazil: 1993-2000

open access: yesJournal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2006
This study presents the epidemiological analysis of 20,699 reported spider bites involving the Loxosceles genus in the state of Paraná, Brazil, from 1993 to 2000. The incidence rate in the period was 290.24/100,000 inhabitants.
