Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Invasive species pose a serious threat to biodiversity and result in significant economic costs. Although much effort is devoted to understanding invasive processes, some aspects are poorly understood, such as the early stages of invasions and the reasons for invasion failure.

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.

ChemistrySelect, Volume 11, Issue 17, 5 May 2026.ABSTRACT This study presents the first integrated analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), fatty acids, and cultivable bacteriota in whole‐body spider specimens, combining HS‐SPME‐GC/MS, GC/MS, and MALDI‐TOF‐MS. A total of 100 spiders from five synanthropic species, Steatoda opiliones, S. bipunctata, S.

Spintharus flavidus in the Caribbean—a 30 million year biogeographical history and radiation of a ‘widespread species’ [PDF]
PeerJ, 2015 The Caribbean island biota is characterized by high levels of endemism, the result of an interplay between colonization opportunities on islands and effective oceanic barriers among them.

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 4, May 2026.ABSTRACT Spiders are renowned for their ecological versatility and silk‐based innovations in materials science, yet marine environments remain virtually uncolonized by this predominantly terrestrial lineage. A striking exception is the obligate intertidal spider genus Desis, whose members have evolved extraordinary physiological and behavioural ...

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.

Maintenance of polymorphism in the orb weaving spider species Agalenatea redii (Araneae, Araneidae) [PDF]
, 2012 The maintenance of polymorphism within populations may be the consequence of several elements of species life history such as use of space, activity rhythms, predation, parasitism and reproduction.

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.ABSTRACT Agricultural intensification is a major driver of global arthropod declines. Habitat management strategies, such as cultivated refuge strips (CRS), can counteract these effects by enhancing biodiversity, promoting conservation biological control and improving agroecosystem resilience.
