Brazilian Theraphosidae: a toxicological point of view
Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2021 The Theraphosidae family includes the largest number of species of the Mygalomorphae infraorder, with hundreds of species currently catalogued. However, there is a huge lack on physiologic and even ecologic information available, especially in Brazil ...

Giant Surface Plasmon Induced Drag Effect (SPIDEr) in Metal Nanowires [PDF]
, 2009 Here, for the first time we predict a giant surface plasmon-induced drag effect (SPIDEr), which exists under conditions of the extreme nanoplasmonic confinement. Under realistic conditions, in nanowires, this giant SPIDEr generates rectified THz potential differences up to 10 V and extremely strong electric fields up to 10^5-10^6 V/cm. The SPIDEr is an

Recent enrichment of megafauna in the north of Eurasia supports the concept of Pleistocene rewilding
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.‘Pleistocene rewilding' refers to the concept of restoring ecosystems to their state during the Pleistocene epoch, by (re‐)introducing species or their close relatives that were present during that time, in an effort to revive ecological processes that existed before human‐driven extinctions.

Pharmacology of spider venom toxins
Toxin Reviews, 2014 AbstractSpider venom is an intricate combination of target specific enzymatic and non-enzymatic toxins. In addition, the venom also contains polyamine neurotoxins, ATP, AMP, ADP, guanosine, 2,4,6-trihydroxy purine, γ-aminobutyric acid, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, taurine, histamine, serotonin, tyramine, octomine, nor-adrenaline and inorganic salts ...

Spiders for rank 2 Lie algebras [PDF]
Comm. Math. Phys. 180(1):109-151, 1996, 1997 A spider is an axiomatization of the representation theory of a group, quantum group, Lie algebra, or other group or group-like object. We define certain combinatorial spiders by generators and relations that are isomorphic to the representation theories of the three rank two simple Lie algebras, namely A2, B2, and G2.

Victorian Women and the Gendering of Mountaineering in the Alps
Gender &History, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article explores the gendered segregation of Victorian mountaineering, highlighting how societal norms sought to confine women to passive roles within the alpine landscape. As Elizabeth Le Blond declared, ‘there is no manlier sport in the world than mountaineering’, encapsulating the pervasive attitudes of the era.
