Neuroscience: This Is Not a Spider [PDF]
Current Biology, 2016 Long-term memories of fear have been notoriously difficult to alter. A new study finds access through the window of reconsolidation.

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2017 World experts of different disciplines, from molecular biology to macro-ecology, recognize the value of cave ecosystems as ideal ecological and evolutionary laboratories. Among other subterranean taxa, spiders stand out as intriguing model organisms for their ecological role of top predators, their unique adaptations to the hypogean medium

Novel decorating behaviour of silk retreats in a challenging habitat [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Many ecological interactions of spiders with their potential prey and predators are affected by the visibility of their bodies and silk, especially in habitats with lower structural complexity that expose spiders. For instance, the surface of tree trunks

Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Plant–animal interactions are diverse and widespread shaping ecology, evolution, and biodiversity of most ecological communities. Carnivorous plants are unusual in that they can be simultaneously engaged with animals in multiple mutualistic and ...

Effects of Wolf Spiders’ Captive Environment on Their Locomotor and Exploratory Behaviours
Insects, 2022 Here I detail the effects of the abiotic/captive environment of an adult wandering spider, Pardosa saltans (Lycosidae) on its behaviour. These studies focused on spiders collected as adults in their natural environment and spiders developed in the ...

Divergence in gut bacterial community between females and males in the wolf spider Pardosa astrigera
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Sex is one of the important factors affecting gut microbiota. As key predators in agroforestry ecosystem, many spider species show dramatically different activity habits and nutritional requirements between females and males. However, how sex affects gut

Spiders in a hostile world (Arachnoidea, Araneae)
Arachnologische Mitteilungen, 2011 Spiders are powerful predators, but the threats confronting them are numerous. A survey is presented of the many different arthropods which waylay spiders in various ways. Some food-specialists among spiders feed exclusively on spiders.

Spider phylogenomics: untangling the Spider Tree of Life [PDF]
PeerJ, 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 ...

Molecular Spiders on the Plane [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 85, 061927 (2012), 2012 Synthetic bio-molecular spiders with "legs" made of single-stranded segments of DNA can move on a surface covered by single-stranded segments of DNA called substrates when the substrate DNA is complementary to the leg DNA. If the motion of a spider does not affect the substrates, the spider behaves asymptotically as a random walk.
