Spider phylogenomics: untangling the Spider Tree of Life [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2015
Spiders (Order Araneae) are massively abundant generalist arthropod predators that are found in nearly every ecosystem on the planet and have persisted for over 380 million years. Spiders have long served as evolutionary models for studying complex mating and web spinning behaviors, key innovation and adaptive radiation hypotheses, and have been ...

LANDSLIDE DETECTION IN CENTRAL AMERICA USING THE DIFFERENTIAL BARE SOIL INDEX [PDF]

open access: yesThe International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2021
The increasing availability of EO data from the Copernicus program through its Sentinel satellites of the medium spatial and spectral resolution has generated new applications for risk management and disaster management.

A Constraint on Primordial B-modes from the First Flight of the Spider Balloon-borne Telescope [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2021
We present the first linear polarization measurements from the 2015 long-duration balloon flight of Spider, which is an experiment that is designed to map the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) on degree angular scales.

Engineered Spider Silk Proteins for Biomimetic Spinning of Fibers with Toughness Equal to Dragline Silks

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, 2022
Spider silk is the toughest fiber found in nature, and bulk production of artificial spider silk that matches its mechanical properties remains elusive. Development of miniature spider silk proteins (mini‐spidroins) has made large‐scale fiber production ...

Spider Silk‐Inspired Artificial Fibers

open access: yesAdvancement of science, 2021
Spider silk is a natural polymeric fiber with high tensile strength, toughness, and has distinct thermal, optical, and biocompatible properties. The mechanical properties of spider silk are ascribed to its hierarchical structure, including primary and ...

Spider: A Large-Scale Human-Labeled Dataset for Complex and Cross-Domain Semantic Parsing and Text-to-SQL Task [PDF]

open access: yesConference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing, 2018
We present Spider, a large-scale complex and cross-domain semantic parsing and text-to-SQL dataset annotated by 11 college students. It consists of 10,181 questions and 5,693 unique complex SQL queries on 200 databases with multiple tables covering 138 ...

The biology and evolution of spider venoms

open access: yesBiological Reviews of The Cambridge Philosophical Society, 2021
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.

Multicomponent nature underlies the extraordinary mechanical properties of spider dragline silk

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021
Significance Artificial synthesis of spider silk has been actively pursued. However, until now, the natural mechanical properties of spider silk have been largely unreproducible.

Neuroscience: This Is Not a Spider [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2016
Long-term memories of fear have been notoriously difficult to alter. A new study finds access through the window of reconsolidation.
