Spider movement, UV reflectance and size, but not spider crypsis, affect the response of honeybees to Australian crab spiders. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 According to the crypsis hypothesis, the ability of female crab spiders to change body colour and match the colour of flowers has been selected because flower visitors are less likely to detect spiders that match the colour of the flowers used as hunting

SPIDER FAUNA AND INFLUENCE OF TRAPPING METHOD AND FIELD MARGIN ON SPIDER POPULATION DENSITY IN SUGAR BEET FIELDS [PDF]
Journal of Plant Protection and Pathology, 2009 Experiments were carried out at the experimental farm of Sakha Agricultural Research Station in 2006/07 and 2007/08 sugar beet seasons. The spiders inhabiting the sugar beet fields were surveyed, which indicated to the occurrence of 30 spider species ...

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.

Epigaeic spider response to sagebrush steppe restoration treatments
Ecosphere, 2022 Epigaeic (ground‐active) spiders are dominant predators of arthropods and are important prey for vertebrates in sagebrush steppe systems. As part of the Sagebrush Steppe Treatment Evaluation Project (SageSTEP), the response of epigaeic spiders to ...

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

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 ...

The Canadian Entomologist, 1873 “The American Naturalist” for May, 1871, contains an interesting article on “Flying Spiders,” by J. H. Emerton. The species noticed by him are, no doubt, allied to the gossamer of Europe, and the phenomenon occurs early in autumn on the Islands of the St.
