A Study of Spiders (Araneae) on Maple Trees (Acer Spp.) [PDF]
We began this study to determine whether spider species occur randomly on maple species or whether they are selective in picking either their host species or their position on that host.

External DNA contamination and efficiency of bleach decontamination for arthropod diet analysis
DNA metabarcoding is increasingly used to analyze the diet of arthropods, including spiders. However, high sensitivity to DNA contamination makes it difficult to apply to organisms obtained from mass‐sampling methods such as pitfall traps. An alternative

Terricolous Spiders (Araneae) of Insecticide-Treated Spruce-Fir Forests in West-Central Maine [PDF]
Spiders of 12 families, 42 genera, and at least 62 species were captured in linear-pitfall traps placed in insecticide-treated (Sevin-4-Oil®, Dipel 4L ®, Thuricide 16B®) and untreated spruce-fIr forests of west-central Maine.

Cooperative effects enhance the transport properties of molecular spider teams [PDF]
Molecular spiders are synthetic molecular motors based on DNA nanotechnology. While natural molecular motors have evolved towards very high efficiency, it remains a major challenge to develop efficient designs for man-made molecular motors.

The influence of camouflage and prey type on predatory decisions of jumping spider [PDF]
Decisions made by predators during predatory encounters are often based on multiple factors that may influence the outcome of the encounters. For stalking predators their visibility to the prey and the ability of their prey to escape may be important ...
