Evolution of sociality in Anelosimus Spiders [PDF]
Most spiders are solitary and aggressive towards cohorts, but some have been found to live in groups and forage communally, even sharing in brood care. The benefits of group living outweigh the costs of inbreeding for these spiders, but how sociality has

Do Island Spiders Descend From Trees? – A Tale of Island Colonisation and Niche Expansion
ABSTRACT Aim Oceanic islands are known for being home to drastically different communities compared to the mainland, as their isolation and limited area significantly favour clades able to travel long distances over water. On spiders, this happens mainly, although not exclusively, through ballooning whose propensity is unevenly distributed across ...

Minimising insect mortality during grassland mowing: The potential of insect chasing devices
Insect chasing devices have a great potential to deter arthropods prior to mowing, thereby reducing mortality. The effectiveness of mechanical flushing bars is limited and depends on driving speed, vegetation structure and species composition. The blowing device is the most independent of external factors and therefore the most effective.

We investigated how gut microbiota and endosymbionts influence the success of native and invasive spiders in Hawaiian and mainland environments. Gut microbial composition was shaped more by local environmental conditions than invasion status, whereas invasive species generally harbored fewer endosymbionts, with abundance varying by site. These findings
