Die Baumkronenspinnen (Araneae) des Leipziger Auwaldes [PDF]
, 2012 The canopy spiders of the floodplain forest in Leipzig have become a focus of ecological studies in recent years. In 2006 we sampled 30 tree canopies in the ‘Burgaue’ nature reserve with pyrethrum knock-down fogging, recording 502 adult spiders belonging

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.A mask‐free and cost‐effective UV‐pico‐second laser‐based microfabrication method is proposed to fabricate large‐area biodegradable microelectrode arrays and pressure sensors. These devices demonstrate low impedance, good conformability, excellent biocompatibility, and rapid degradation, providing a new route for next‐generation transient electronics ...

Species diversity and community stability: cause or effect? a study using moorland spiders and other invertebrates [PDF]
, 1994 SUMMARY 1) Pitfall trapping was used to sample invertebrate communities on Monk's Moor, County Durham. 2) The effects of habitat and altitude upon communities of invertebrates, in particular spiders, were analysed using indices of alpha and beta ...

First record of some jumping spiders (Arachnida: Araneae: Salticidae) from Pench National Park, Maharashtra State, India [PDF]
Arthropods, 2020 Spiders are one of the most familiar and studied groups of arthropods. They are ubiquitous in most terrestrial ecosystems preying on other arthropods as well as their own type. Jumping spiders belong to family Salticidae and constitute the largest family

Morphological evolution of spiders predicted by pendulum mechanics. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 BACKGROUND:Animals have been hypothesized to benefit from pendulum mechanics during suspensory locomotion, in which the potential energy of gravity is converted into kinetic energy according to the energy-conservation principle.

Spider tracheaton: its behavioural and physiological consequences [PDF]
, 1987 The problem of why spiders possess two types of respiratory structure, book-lungs and tracheae, was investigated. The tracheal systems of a number of species of spider were visualized using a vacuum-injection method.

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.
