Spiders (Araneae) in the pesticide world: an ecotoxicological review.
Pest Management Science, 2012Being one of the most abundant and species-rich groups of natural enemies occurring in all agroecosystems, spiders are variably affected by pesticide applications. Here, a review is given of research on spider ecotoxicology.

Systematics and Evolution of Spiders (Araneae)
, 1991In the last 15 years understanding of the higher systematics of Araneae has changed greatly. Large classical superfamilies and families have turned out to be polyor paraphyletic; posited relationships were often based on sym plesiomorphies.

Identifying spiders through DNA barcodes
, 2005With almost 40 000 species, the spiders provide important model systems for studies of sociality, mating systems, and sexual dimorphism. However, work on this group is regularly constrained by difficulties in species identi- fication.

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.

Common Spiders of North America
, 2012Spiders are a ubiquitous part of every terrestrial habitat on Earth except Antarctica. They are one of the most diverse groups of organisms, yet they are poorly represented in most field guides to terrestrial arthropods.

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 ...
