Insights Into Spatial Orientation and Cognition in Tarantulas (Araneae: Theraphosidae) Under Natural Conditions, With Notes on Possible Ontogenetic Niche Shifts [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionResearch on cognition in spiders, particularly in relation to navigation, has primarily focused on araneomorphs studied under controlled conditions. Mygalomorphs, such as tarantulas (Theraphosidae), have been largely neglected and almost nothing is known

Microclimatic Influences on the Abundance of Three Non-Troglobiont Species [PDF]
DiversitySubterranean environments are often characterized by a natural gradient of microclimatic conditions and trophic resources, showing a higher trophic availability and a lower microclimatic stability in the shallowest area (close to the cave entrance ...

Volcanic caves: priorities for conserving the Azorean endemic troglobiont species
International Journal of Speleology, 2013 Dynamics and drivers of ventilation in caves are of growing interest for different f ields of science. Accumulated CO2 in caves can be exchanged with the atmosphere, modifying the internal CO2 content, affecting stalagmite growth rates, deteriorating ...

Heat tolerance and acclimation capacity in subterranean arthropods living under common and stable thermal conditions [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Cave‐dwelling ectotherms, which have evolved for millions of years under stable thermal conditions, could be expected to have adjusted their physiological limits to the narrow range of temperatures they experience and to be highly vulnerable to global ...
