Special Adaptations of Orb Weavers and Prey [PDF]

, 1986
Orb weaving spiders have devised both webs and special devices for capturing prey. The prey have also evolved mechanisms for eluding spiders and for living with them.

Crack‐Growing Interlayer Design for Deep Crack Propagation and Ultrahigh Sensitivity Strain Sensing

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A crack‐growing semi‐cured polyimide interlayer enabling deep cracks for ultrahigh sensitivity in low‐strain regimes is presented. The sensor achieves a gauge factor of 100 000 at 2% strain and detects subtle deformations such as nasal breathing, highlighting potential for minimally obstructive biomedical and micromechanical sensing applications ...

Evolution of sociality in Anelosimus Spiders [PDF]

, 2019
Most spiders are solitary and aggressive towards cohorts, but some have been found to live in groups and forage communally, even sharing in brood care. The benefits of group living outweigh the costs of inbreeding for these spiders, but how sociality has

Universal MBQC with generalised parity-phase interactions and Pauli measurements [PDF]

, 2019
We introduce a new family of models for measurement-based quantum computation which are deterministic and approximately universal. The resource states which play the role of graph states are prepared via 2-qubit gates of the form $\exp(-i\frac{\pi}{2^{n}}

Nanomaterial‐Integrated Fiber Neural Probes for Deep Brain Monitoring and Modulation: Challenges and Opportunities

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The article presents nanomaterial‐integrated fiber neural probes as innovative tools for deep brain molecular sensing, neural stimulation, and temperature monitoring. It examines breakthroughs in SERS‐based biomolecule detection, thermoplasmonic activation, and luminescent thermometry, alongside strategies to overcome stability, specificity, and ...

How dispersal rates depend on the prey capture strategy: A case study of Georgia's spiders

Ecology and Evolution
Large‐scale barcoding projects help to aggregate information on genetic variability of multiple species throughout their ranges. Comparing DNA sequences of both non‐conspecific and conspecific individuals from distant parts of their ranges helps to ...

Mitochondrial differentiation, introgression and phylogeny of species in the Tegenaria atrica group (Araneae, Agelenidae) [PDF]

, 2004
The relationships between the three members of the Tegenaria atrica group (T. atrica, T. saeva and T. gigantea) were examined with DNA sequence data from mitochondrial CO1, 16S rRNA, tRNAleu(CUN) and ND1 genes.

Spider vision

Current Biology, 2020
Morehouse provides an overview of spider vision, with an emphasis on the two main eye types found in spiders. Commonalities of form and function among spiders are discussed but also the huge diversity of eyes that are adapted to various ecological niches.
