Spider mechanoreceptors

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 ...

Chemistry – A European Journal, 2007
AbstractCareful analysis and comparison of optical and electrochemical data available in recent literature for multi‐thiophene molecular assemblies suggested a few basic rules for the design of structurally simple and easily accessible oligothiophenes endowed with properties not far from those exhibited by much more complex and synthetically demanding ...

The excreta of spiders

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology, 1966
Abstract 1. 1. The reported diversity of excretory products of spiders and the small number of species investigated in this regard prompted a reinvestigation of the excreta of these arthropods. 2. 2. Guanine was the only purine detected in the chromatographic analysis of excreta obtained from 34 species representing 17 families.
