Erstnachweis von Evarcha michailovi in Deutschland (Araneae: Salticidae) sowie weitere für Mecklenburg-Vorpommern neue Spinnenarten

open access: yesArachnologische Mitteilungen, 2014
The jumping spider Evarcha michailovi Logunov 1992 was recorded as new to Germany from a nature reserve in the south of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in a dry heathland habitat. Furthermore, the first records of the jumping spiders Evarcha laetabunda (C.

A Mini‐Spidroin Forms High‐Performance Artificial Spider Silk via Edge‐Cysteine–Locked β‐Sheet Assembly

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Cysteine‐engineered mini‐spidroins (∼33 kDa) undergo phosphate‐induced liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS), where disulfide bonds lock partially aligned polyA segments. Subsequent microfluidic spinning promotes directional β‐sheet crystallization, producing fibers with 531 MPa strength and 182 MJ/m3 toughness.

Spiders (Arachnida: Araneae) of Saba Island, Lesser Antilles: Unusually high species richness indicates the Caribbean Biodiversity Hotspot is woefully undersampled [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Saba Island (Caribbean Netherlands) is one of the northernmost islands of the Lesser Antilles. It is only 13 square kilometers but contains a wide variety of potential spider habitats including dry, moist, and elfin forests.

Dead Matter, Living Machines: Repurposing Crustaceans' Abdomen Exoskeleton for Bio‐Hybrid Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Crustacean exoskeletons, repurposed from food waste, are engineered into sustainable bending actuators combining biotic structure with synthetic control. The augmented exoskeletons achieve rapid and robust motion with lightweight body and can be used as part of robotic manipulators, grippers and swimmers.

Trichobothrial mediation of an aquatic escape response: Directional jumps by the fishing spider, Dolomedes triton, foil frog attacks

open access: yesJournal of Insect Science, 2003
Fishing spiders (Pisauridae) frequent the surfaces of ponds and streams and thereby expose themselves to predation by a variety of aquatic and semi-aquatic vertebrates. To assess the possibility that the impressive jumps of fishing spiders from the water

Die Baumkronenspinnen (Araneae) des Leipziger Auwaldes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The canopy spiders of the floodplain forest in Leipzig have become a focus of ecological studies in recent years. In 2006 we sampled 30 tree canopies in the ‘Burgaue’ nature reserve with pyrethrum knock-down fogging, recording 502 adult spiders belonging

An Intelligent Magneto‐Mechanical Platform for Cellular Sensing in 3D Microenvironments

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents MagMI, a pioneering machine intelligence‐driven magneto‐mechanical sensing platform. It utilizes magneto‐mechanical arrays and machine learning to achieve label‐free, real‐time monitoring and classification of cellular proliferation dynamics within 3D microenvironments.

Spider–Plant Interaction: The Role of Extrafloral Nectaries in Spider Attraction and Their Influence on Plant Herbivory and Reproduction

open access: yesPlants
Spiders, abundant and diverse arthropods which occur in vegetation, have received little attention in studies investigating spider–plant interactions, especially in plants which have extrafloral nectaries (EFNs).
