Edge Effects and Pitfall Trap Design Influence Spider Diversity and Assemblages in Canola Agroecosystems on the Canadian Prairies. [PDF]
Ecol EvolSpiders are important generalist predators in canola agroecosystems, but their diversity remains poorly studied on the Canadian Prairies. We surveyed spider assemblages in the Aspen Parkland region and tested pitfall trap modifications to improve sampling.

Effect of laboratory heat stress on mortality and web mass of the common house spider, Parasteatoda tepidariorum (Koch 1841) (Araneae: Theridiidae) [PDF]
, 2020 We determined the effects of chronic heat stress on web construction of Parasteatoda tepidariorum (Araneae: Theridiidae) by measuring the survival and web mass of specimens after a 48-h period within a temperature chamber at 21, 30, 35, 40, or 50°C.

Movement Ecology of Adult Male Threatened Katipō (<i>Latrodectus katipo</i>) and Invasive False Katipō (<i>Steatoda capensis</i>). [PDF]
Ecol EvolLocomotor performance influences an animal's ability to find resources, including new habitats or mates. We compared the movement and exploration behaviours of adult male endemic katipō (Latrodectus katipo) and invasive false katipō (Steatoda capensis).

Testing for Differences in Consumer-Based Nutrient Cycling Between Male and Female Wolf Spiders (<i>Hogna carolinensis</i>). [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe tested whether male and female wolf spiders (Hogna carolinensis) differ in how they regulate and excrete micronutrients. Our ecological experiment revealed significant differences in whole‐body and excreta elemental composition between sexes, providing new insight into how predator physiology shapes predator‐mediated nutrient cycles.
