Biologically active phenol and indole derivatives of terrestrial arthropods: electrophy­sio­logical and chemical characteristics

Біологічні студії, 2019
Toxins-antagonists of glutamatergic synapses were found in venoms of different terrestrial Arthrpopodae, both Insecta and Aranei. Chemical structures of some of them were described, and a majority of such substances are derivatives of phenol and indole ...

Obesity and the Politics of Taddeo di Bartolo's Inferno

Renaissance Studies, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines Taddeo di Bartolo's depiction of Hell in the Collegiata di Santa Maria Assunta, the mother church of San Gimignano. In a striking departure from similar scenes of the period, the fresco, painted in the early fifteenth century, emphasizes the obesity of the sinners—suggesting a deliberate visual critique.

Gut Microbiome Diversity, Functional Potential, and Ecological Relevance of Hottentotta tamulus

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 5, October 2026.
Long‐read 16S sequencing uncovers the gut microbiome of H. tamulus. A highly conserved and low‐diversity bacterial community dominates the gut fauna. Bacillus and Mycoplasma lineages emerge as predominant candidate endosymbionts. Exploratory profiles reveal potential sex‐specific trends in microbial abundance.

Formalizing Spider Diagrams [PDF]

, 1999
Geared to complement UML and to the specification of large software systems by non-mathematicians, spider diagrams are a visual language that generalizes the popular and intuitive Venn diagrams and Euler circles.

Darwin's Naturalization Conundrum in the Azores: Scale‐Dependent Patterns of Arthropod Invasion

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To test the mechanisms governing the assembly of exotic arthropods within endemic‐rich island communities by evaluating Darwin's naturalization conundrum, which predicts that invasion success occurs through either functional dissimilarity from native species (Naturalization Hypothesis) or functional similarity with them (Pre‐adaptation ...

Evidence of the Most Stretchable Egg Sac Silk Stalk, of the European Spider of the Year Meta menardi [PDF]

, 2011
Spider silks display generally strong mechanical properties, even if differences between species and within the same species can be observed. While many different types of silks have been tested, the mechanical properties of stalks of silk taken from the

Persistence without prosperity at the upper range margin: Elevation, microhabitat buffering and biotic pressure in a range‐expanding spider

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 5, Page 926-943, October 2026.
Anthropogenic linear features facilitate high‐elevation colonization. Parasitoid pressure declines markedly with elevation. Cocoon damage increases despite reduced parasitism at high elevation. Abstract The upper elevational range limits of thermophilic arthropods reflect constraints on population persistence rather than simple presence.

Spider Knottin Pharmacology at Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels and Their Potential to Modulate Pain Pathways

Toxins, 2019
Voltage-gated sodium channels (NaVs) are a key determinant of neuronal signalling. Neurotoxins from diverse taxa that selectively activate or inhibit NaV channels have helped unravel the role of NaV channels in diseases, including chronic pain.
