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.

Where We're Going, We Won't Need Eyes to See: Distributional Range Size Drivers of European Subterranean Spiders

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Understanding why closely related species can have drastically different distributional range sizes is a fundamental question in biology. However, answering this question is challenging due to the multiple inter‐related factors that shape species distributions, particularly in continental regions, where unclear ecological and geographic ...
