Predatory Encounters of Yllenus Arenarius (Araneae, Salticidae) with Flies (Diptera) [PDF]
, 2010 Predatory behaviour of Yllenus arenarius hunting flies (Diptera) was studied. The general spider's approach and capture was typical for salticids hunting prey that has high ability to escape. Two modes of approach in close proximity of prey were observed.

Programmable Multifunctional Bistable Structures for Energy Transfer and Dissipation
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Utilizing the energy conversion characteristics of asymmetric bistable beams, this study develops a programmable multifunctional system composed of multiple bistable beams for energy transfer and dissipation. The high energy density enables the system to demonstrate potential in transient scenarios such as target delivery and shock absorption ...

Pinching or stinging? Comparing prey capture among scorpions with contrasting morphologies
Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2022 Background: Scorpions can use their pincers and/or stingers to subdue and immobilize their prey. A scorpion can thus choose between strategies involving force or venom, or both, depending on what is required to subdue its prey.

The 20-million-year old lair of an ambush-predatory worm preserved in northeast Taiwan
Scientific Reports, 2021 The feeding behavior of the giant ambush-predator “Bobbit worm” (Eunice aphroditois) is spectacular. They hide in their burrows until they explode upwards grabbing unsuspecting prey with a snap of their powerful jaws.

Soil, competition, and niche shifts shape the floral mosaic of an annual plant diversity hotspot
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Plant species with affinity for harsh substrates often have well‐defined edaphic (soil) niches and are ideal for exploring questions of community assembly. Vertic clay soils are chemically and physically challenging to plant establishment and productivity, and annual plant communities associated with these soils of the San Joaquin ...
