Super‐Tough Silk: The Potential of Knots in Evolved Spiders
Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 35, Issue 15, April 10, 2025.The toughness of spider silk can be further significantly enhanced if spiders evolved the –currently absent/undiscovered– ability to tie knots in their silk. The results on 393 spiders suggest toughness increments by one or two orders of magnitude and thus a new perspective on how knotting can serve as a key innovation in spider evolution and in ...

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

Ground spider communities in experimentally disturbed Mediterranean woodland habitats [PDF]
, 2011 The protected Mediterranean woodland habitats in Israel are undergoing tree encroachment, resulting in loss of open patches with herbaceous vegetation. We suggested that this process results in a ground spider community dominated by shade-loving species.

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.

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 1, January 2025.ABSTRACT Spiders are a hyperdiverse taxon and among the most abundant predators in nearly all terrestrial habitats. Their success is often attributed to key developments in their evolution such as silk and venom production and major apomorphies such as a whole‐genome duplication.
