External DNA contamination and efficiency of bleach decontamination for arthropod diet analysis
Environmental DNA, 2023 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

Predatory Encounters of Yllenus Arenarius (Araneae, Salticidae) with Flies (Diptera) [PDF]
, 2010 Predatory behaviour of Yllenus arenarius hunting flies (Diptera) was studied. The general spider's approach and capture was typical for salticids hunting prey that has high ability to escape. Two modes of approach in close proximity of prey were observed.

Micropatterned Biphasic Printed Electrodes for High‐Fidelity on‐Skin Bioelectronics
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Micropatterned biphasic printed electrodes achieve unprecedented skin conformity and low impedance by combining liquid‐metal droplets with microstructured 3D lattices. This scalable approach enables high‐fidelity detection of ECG, EMG, and EEG signals, including alpha rhythms from the forehead, with long‐term comfort and stability.

pH‐Tunable Material Properties of Glycine‐Rich Condensates from Tick Bioadhesive
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This work studies the influence of pH on the phase separation behavior of a disordered glycine‐rich protein found in tick bioadhesive. The results show profound impact on the propensity of coacervation, condensate microstructure and viscosity, amphiphilicity of the peptides, and effective encapsulation of therapeutic molecules.
