Revista Mexicana de BiodiversidadWith 40 of the 149 described species, Mexico harbors the highest diversity of the spider genus Loxosceles. However, knowledge about these spiders’ distribution patterns in a climate change (CC) context is poorly known.

Molecular Phylogenetic Relationships Based on Mitogenomes of Spider: Insights Into Evolution and Adaptation to Extreme Environments. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe used the largest dataset of mitogenomes available to reconstruct phylogenetic relationships and ancestral ranges and traits in spiders. ABSTRACT In this study, we performed a comparative analysis based on a total of 255 spider mitogenomes and four outgroups, of which the mitogenomes of 39 species were assembled de novo, to explore the phylogenetic ...

Lizard predation by spiders: A review from the Neotropical and Andean regions. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2020 In this study, we analyze for the first time the lizard consumption by spiders in the Neotropical and Andean regions, showing that the families Ctenidae and Theraphosidae may be relevant lizard predators in these areas. In addition, we provide the first report on spider predation upon a vertebrate taxon in the Andean region.

Discovery of broadly-neutralizing antibodies against brown recluse spider and Gadim scorpion sphingomyelinases using consensus toxins as antigens. [PDF]
Protein SciAbstract Broadly‐neutralizing monoclonal antibodies are becoming increasingly important tools for treating infectious diseases and animal envenomings. However, designing and developing broadly‐neutralizing antibodies can be cumbersome using traditional low‐throughput iterative protein engineering methods. Here, we present a new high‐throughput approach

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

Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 3, Page 942-981, June 2023., 2023 ABSTRACT Acoustic and substrate‐borne vibrations are among the most widely used signalling modalities in animals. Arthropods display a staggering diversity of vibroacoustic organs generating acoustic sound and/or substrate‐borne vibrations, and are fundamental to our broader understanding of the evolution of animal signalling.

Ecography, Volume 2023, Issue 3, March 2023., 2023 The spitting spider Scytodes fusca is a species complex well known for its unusual hunting technique which involves spitting a venomous sticky silken substance over its prey. Previous studies supposed that S. fusca was native to Central and South America but had expanded to the tropics of almost every continent.

The biology and evolution of spider venoms
Biological Reviews, Volume 97, Issue 1, Page 163-178, February 2022., 2022 ABSTRACT Spiders are diverse, predatory arthropods that have inhabited Earth for around 400 million years. They are well known for their complex venom systems that are used to overpower their prey. Spider venoms contain many proteins and peptides with highly specific and potent activities suitable for biomedical or agrochemical applications, but the ...
