Survey of Synanthropic Spiders in Ireland Reveals Expansion and Dominance of the Invasive Noble False Widow <i>Steatoda nobilis</i> in Urban Habitats (Araneae: Theridiidae). [PDF]
Ecol EvolRapid urbanisation has facilitated the establishment of large populations of the Noble false widow spider outside of its native range through the use of synanthropic microhabitats. In Ireland, we survey these favourable microhabitats for spider diversity for the first time and find that the Noble false widow now typically makes up more than 40% of the ...

Desarrollo postembrionario de Latrodectus variegatus (Araneae: Theridiidae)
Revista de Biología Tropical, 1998 The life cicle of Latrodectus variegatus from cocoons collected in Bariloche, Argentina, is described. In stage IV (first free stage) 361 individually bred spiders were isolated and fed Drosophila melanogaster in the juvenile stage and Musca domestica ...

Spider Web Architecture and Rainfall Damage: Observational and Manipulative Studies Along a Precipitation Gradient on the Tropical Andes. [PDF]
Ecol EvolRainfall intensity can impose substantial abiotic stress on organisms and their extended phenotypes. Using field observations and a manipulative experiment along an elevational gradient in the tropical Andes, we examined how rainfall intensity damages spider webs of different types.

Macroecology of parental care in arthropods: higher mortality risk leads to higher benefits of offspring protection in tropical climates [PDF]
, 2016 The intensity of biotic interactions varies around the world, in such a way that mortality risk imposed by natural enemies is usually higher in the tropics.

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.

Island time and the interplay between ecology and evolution in species diversification. [PDF]
, 2015 Research on the dynamics of biodiversity has progressed tremendously over recent years, although in two separate directions - ecological, to determine change over space at a given time, and evolutionary, to understand change over time.
