Behavioural Processes, 2005
Simple heuristics may help explain how even a spider, despite its minute brain, can be disturbingly intelligent. Hutchinson and Gigerenzer suggest that the generalist-specialist distinction (or more accurately the predictability-unpredictability distinction) may be related to a species' level of reliance on simple heuristics, and spider behaviour may ...

ONE day in Central Burma the trail in the jungle was exceptionally difficult. It was long past noon when I realised that the return journey would be equally long and tiring. Camp lay on the other side of a long range of hills, and there was a short cut from the main trail that would save several miles, but this trail was faint.

The Lancet, 2011
Spiders are a source of intrigue and fear, and several myths exist about their medical effects. Many people believe that bites from various spider species cause necrotic ulceration, despite evidence that most suspected cases of necrotic arachnidism are caused by something other than a spider bite.

The article discusses a study from researchers such as Oswald Schmitz of Yale University that indicates that the carbon dioxide storage rates of plants in environments with herbivores and predators are higher than those of plants in environments without herbivores and predators.

The article discusses the lengths that some species of arachnids will go to mimic the appearance and behavior of ants, such as the genus of jumping spider called Myrmarachne. According to the report, species that masquerade as ants are the most common type of mimicry, but are the least understood.

Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2004
Spiders have highly developed mechanosensory systems, some of which provide access to forms of stimulation alien to our own sensations. Studies of hair-shaped air movement detectors (trichobothria) and tactile sensors have uncovered an outstanding refinement of the processes of stimulus uptake and stimulus transformation, which reflect details of both ...
