Solitary Confinement: Surprising Post‐Copulatory Behaviour of an Australian Species of Wishbone Spider (Mygalomorphae: Anamidae: Aname)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Araneomorph spiders are regarded as a model group for sexual selection studies, while the mating system of mygalomorph spiders remains largely unknown. We here report on the mating behaviour of an Australian wishbone spider species, involving a novel post‐copulatory behaviour for mygalomorph spiders (‘burrow plugging’).

Aranei, Lycosidae in Coal Open Pit Dump Ecosystem in Kuzbass

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2018
Using one of the Kuzbass coal mines as an example, it is shown that Lycosidae is the most important group of spiders that settles in reclaimed dumps at the early stages of overgrowing. The most commonand widespread wolf spiders on the dumps are Alopecosa

Transition From Land to Sea: Comparative Genomics Illuminates the Adaptive Evolution of the Intertidal Spider

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 4, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Spiders are renowned for their ecological versatility and silk‐based innovations in materials science, yet marine environments remain virtually uncolonized by this predominantly terrestrial lineage. A striking exception is the obligate intertidal spider genus Desis, whose members have evolved extraordinary physiological and behavioural ...

Linear Peptides—A Combinatorial Innovation in the Venom of Some Modern Spiders

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2021
In the venom of spiders, linear peptides (LPs), also called cytolytical or antimicrobial peptides, represent a largely neglected group of mostly membrane active substances that contribute in some spider species considerably to the killing power of spider

The first known troglomorphic, eyeless spider wasp (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae): Troglopompilus miracaecatus gen. et sp. nov. from the Nullarbor Caves, Western Australia

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract Surveys of caves of the Nullarbor Plain, Western Australia, revealed a remarkable assemblage of exceptionally well‐preserved mummified arthropods, comprising Araneae, Blattodea, Coleoptera and Chilopoda, all of which exhibit high levels of troglomorphism, lacking eyes and showing a number of other adaptations.
