Phenology, Mating Behaviour, and Ecology of a Wild New Zealand Nurseryweb Spider (Dolomedes minor)
Population dynamics are key to the understanding of mating systems, and in particular, sex ratios provide an insight into the evolutionary pressures governing a mating system. Variation in sex ratios can influence mate competition, parental investment strategies, and ultimately shape mating rates and the reproductive success of individuals within a ...

ABSTRACT Understanding orchard arthropod populations is a critical element of making strategic decisions regarding pest management. Therefore, it is paramount for farmers and crop consultants to use appropriate survey methods that provide a representative sample of orchard insect ecology. Currently, macadamia (Macadamia integrifolia) industry arthropod

Hunting Guild Mediates the Effects of Fecundity and Mortality on Sexual Size Dimorphism in Spiders
Female red‐legged golden orb‐weaver (Trichonephila inaurata madagascarensis) with a much smaller male visible near the tip of the female abdomen, southwest Madagascar. Orb‐web weavers are characterised by relatively sedentary females occupying aerial orb webs and highly mobile mate‐searching males.

Trapped honey bees reduce floral visitation on milkweed flowers
Abstract Trapped arthropods have been shown to benefit plants in several ways, but few studies have examined the potential costs of arthropod entanglement. Milkweeds (Asclepias spp.) have an unusual pollination system that requires relatively large packets of pollen (pollinia) to become attached to the appendages of insect pollinators and be pulled ...

Beyond Extrafloral Nectaries: Plant Traits as Drivers of Spider Occurrence in the Cerrado
ABSTRACT Patterns of predator occurrence arise from a mosaic of plant‐derived cues, yet most studies address these traits in isolation. Although extrafloral nectaries have received considerable attention, we lack a comprehensive view of how multiple plant traits jointly affect the diversity and abundance of spiders.
