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]
Rapid 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 ...

Spider Web Architecture and Rainfall Damage: Observational and Manipulative Studies Along a Precipitation Gradient on the Tropical Andes. [PDF]
Rainfall 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.

Spiders are a diverse group and are considered to be good bioindicators due to their sensitivity to variation in biotic and abiotic factors. Despite this the taxonomy of the Araneae is poorly known, particularly in the tropical and subtropical regions.
