Spatial variation in the strength of mutualism between a jumping spider and a terrestrial bromeliad: Evidence from the stable isotope N-15
(Gauthier-villars/editions Elsevier, 2008-05-01)
Psecas chapoda, a neotropical jumping spider strictly associated with the terrestrial bromeliad Bromelia balansae in cerrados and semi-deciduous forests in South America, effectively contributes to plant nutrition and ...
Contextual analysis and epidemiology of spider bite in southern Santa Catarina State, Brazil
(Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2017)
Influence of Prey Size on the Capture of Social Wasps (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) by the Orb-Web Spider Nephilengys cruentata
(California State University, 2010-01-01)
The objective of the present study was to evaluate the plasticity of the hunting behavior of the spider Nephilengys cruentata (Araneae: Nephilidae) facing different species of social wasps. Considering that wasps can consume ...

Plant architectural traits influence residence time of a specialist jumping spider
(Springer, 2017-09-01)
The patch residence time of spiders has long been attributed to prey availability. We provide empirical evidence that plant architecture determines the residence time of a bromeliad-living spider. The residence time of ...

The evolution of prey‐wrapping behaviour in spiders
(2007)
We traced the evolution of silk use by spiders in attacks on prey by combining previous publications with new observations of 31 species in 16 families. Two new prey‐wrapping techniques are described. One, in which the ...
An easy method for handling the genus Phoneutria (Araneae, Ctenidae) for venom extraction
(AMER ARACHNOLOGICAL SOC, 2008)
This paper describes an easy, cheap, and safe method of capturing and handling the medically important spider Phoneutria for venom extraction. The method does not injure or kill the spider and allows the extraction of pure venom.
Bromeliad-living spiders improve host plant nutrition and growth
