Fluctuating asymmetry in spider‐hunting wasps as a possible indicator of stress in Brazilian Atlantic Forest landscapes Assimetria flutuante em vespas caçadoras de aranhas como possível indicador de estresse em paisagens da Mata Atlântica brasileira

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 558-569, June 2026.
Agricultural cover was positively associated with fluctuating asymmetry in Trypoxylon opacum, suggesting a possible increase in developmental instability in intensively managed landscapes. Wing size was positively related to forest cover and negatively related to agricultural cover, indicating that forested landscapes may promote larger body size ...

Impact of Female Mating Status on Male Courtship Behaviour in a Sexually Cannibalistic New Zealand Fishing Spider

open access: yesEthology, Volume 132, Issue 6, Page 373-384, June 2026.
Scoring of male courtship behaviour in Dolomedes minor revealed no effect of female mating status on courtship duration or sequence structure, but males delayed the initiation of courtship when encountering previously mated females. ABSTRACT The evolution of male courtship rituals has traditionally been attributed to female mate selection, but may also

Evolution of Peripheral Visual System in the Apoidea: A Role for Food Item Mobility?

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Since larger compound eyes and ocelli altogether improve vision, one may expect that insects specialised in chasing very mobile resources possess such morphological optimisation. By analysing 77 species of bees and wasps, we have found that wasps had larger eyes, but not larger ocelli, than bees.

Plant species and floral traits shape arthropod communities in prairie plantings more than neonicotinoid contamination

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Agricultural practices are significant drivers of biodiversity loss, leading to reductions in ecological function and services across regions. To mitigate these effects, habitat restorations within agroecosystems have gained prominence as a strategy to enhance ecological stability and increase biodiversity.

Jumping spider invades an orb web to prey on a resident male

open access: yesEcosphere, 2023
While surveying operational sex ratios of the giant golden orb weaver Nephila pilipes (Fabricius, 1793) in Singapore, we documented a stunning case of predatory behavior of a jumping spider Viciria pavesii Thorell, 1877. A female V.
