Taking care of the enemy: egg predation by the Darwin wasp Tromatobia sp. (Ichneumonidae) on the cobweb spider Chrysso compressa (Araneae, Theridiidae) [PDF]

Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 2023
Some wasp species use spiders as food resources, overcoming several anti-predator barriers that are exerted by spiders. Tromatobia ichneumonid wasps are spider egg predators that usually attack Araneidae species, although there are few records of ...

Arthropod Food Webs in the Foreland of a Retreating Greenland Glacier: Integrating Molecular Gut Content Analysis With Structural Equation Modelling. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study investigates the ecological dynamics of arthropod predators across a transect of an Arctic glacier foreland, to understand how climate change impacts predator–prey interactions. By integrating ecological observations with DNA metabarcoding, our research elucidates the role of the key prey species in shaping spider populations in these ...

Araneae communities associated with the canopies of chestnut trees in the northeastern part of Portugal: The influence of soil management practices

European Journal of Entomology, 2013
Chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) is one of the economically more important trees in the north of Portugal. Spiders, as generalist predators, are potential controlling agents of pests, yet the composition of the community of spiders associated with this ...

Effects of mowing on body size patterns in spider assemblages of mesic meadows. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
In the submitted paper, we described how mowing, as a strong habitat disturbance, influenced on mean, skewness and kurtosis of the body size in epigeic spider assemblages. We found that mowing had no significant effect on mean body size, skewness and kurtosis of the body size in epigeic spider assemblages.

Advances in the reconstruction of the spider tree of life: A roadmap for spider systematics and comparative studies

Cladistics, Volume 39, Issue 6, Page 479-532, December 2023., 2023
Abstract In the last decade and a half, advances in genetic sequencing technologies have revolutionized systematics, transforming the field from studying morphological characters or a few genetic markers, to genomic datasets in the phylogenomic era. A plethora of molecular phylogenetic studies on many taxonomic groups have come about, converging on, or
