SpiderATLAS: A Database of Spider Traits and Distributions in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Biodiversity shortfalls related to limited knowledge about geographic distribution (Wallacean) and species traits (Raunkiæran) are extremely common in many animal groups and perhaps more evident in invertebrate groups such as spiders. This lack of knowledge could present challenges for researchers investigating the response and effects of ...

OPTICAL STRUCTURE OF THE CRAB SPIDER MISUMENOPS PALLENS (ARANEAE, THOMISIDAE)

open access: yesJournal of Arachnology, 2000
We describe the histological structure of the eyes of Misumenops pallens(Araneae, Thom- isidae). We have carried out frontal, sagittal and transverse histological sections of the eyes. All the eyes have cuticular and laminar corneas and lenses. The anterior median eyes have two cellular types in the rhabdom; the remaining eyes have three cellular types.

Semi‐tilling maintains the arthropod food web structure but decreases biological pest control in olive groves

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, Volume 187, Issue 3, Page 345-355, November 2025.
Semi‐tillage, a widely used agricultural method to improve water availability and minimise soil erosion in crops, may compromise pest control in olive groves. Stable isotopes (N15 and C13) analysis showed an effect of semi‐tillage in the composition of the basal resources of potential natural enemies in the three olive grove strata: These changes may ...

FOUR NEW CRAB SPIDERS FROM TAIWAN (ARANEAE, THOMISIDAE)

open access: yesJournal of Arachnology, 2006
Examination of some thomisid specimens collected from Taiwan, three species are newly recorded from this fauna: Misumenops pseudovatius (Schenkel 1936), Phrynarachne ceylonica (O.P.-Cam- bridge 1884), Xysticus croceus (Fox 1937). In addition, four new species are described: Lysiteles digitatus, L. torsivus, Takachihoa onoi, and Tmarus lanyu.

Macroecology of parental care in arthropods: higher mortality risk leads to higher benefits of offspring protection in tropical climates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The intensity of biotic interactions varies around the world, in such a way that mortality risk imposed by natural enemies is usually higher in the tropics.
