Comparison of lowland tropical forest spider (Araneae) assemblages from Congo and Panama using a rapid assessment protocol [PDF]
African InvertebratesA Rapid Assessment Protocol (RAP) for non-canopy spiders was used to collect replicate samples from four lowland rainforest sites for a proof-of-concept comparison of spider assemblages from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (hereafter, Congo) and ...

THE PREY ATTACK BEHAVIOR OF ACHAEARANEA TESSELATA (ARANEAE, THERIDIIDAE) [PDF]
Journal of Arachnology, 2006 The attack behavior of the cobweb spider Achaearanea tesselata (Keyserling 1884) is roughly separated into three sequential steps: descend from the suspended retreat, pass through the sheet threads, and wrap the prey from underneath the sheet. The position and speed as the spider descended varied apparently according to prey type.

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 4, December 2024.ABSTRACT Spiders are the dominant representative of the top predator guild in many terrestrial ecosystems, but their diversity and distribution in forests in South Africa are still understudied. This study aimed to determine ground‐dwelling spider diversity, composition and distribution patterns in both sand forest and savanna (and their ecotone) using

On the sticky cobwebs of two theridiid spiders (Araneae: Theridiidae) [PDF]
Journal of Natural History, 2006 In this study we describe and illustrate a new species, Chrysso intervales n. sp., based on males and females collected in Parque Estadual Intervales, an area of Atlantic Forest in the State of Sao Paulo, Brazil. We present data on habitat selection, web architecture, thread adhesiveness, diet, and mortality due to fungi for both Chrysso intervales and

Prey specificity of predatory venoms
Biological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 6, Page 2253-2273, December 2024.ABSTRACT Venom represents a key adaptation of many venomous predators, allowing them to immobilise prey quickly through chemical rather than physical warfare. Evolutionary arms races between prey and a predator are believed to be the main factor influencing the potency and composition of predatory venoms.

Ecological Entomology, Volume 49, Issue 6, Page 768-778, December 2024.To reduce the cost and workload of large‐scale gut content metabarcoding studies, we tested the performance of pooled samples versus individually processed samples in terms of information completeness. Pooled samples and individually processed samples recovered highly correlated taxonomic diversity, composition and richness of prey.
