Several clades of spiders whose females evolved giant sizes are known for extreme sexual behaviors such as sexual cannibalism, opportunistic mating, mate-binding, genital mutilation, plugging and emasculation. However, these behaviors have only been tested in a handful of size dimorphic spiders. Here,...
on a yearly basis and among species by fitting a Generalized Linear Model (GLM) with the number of attacks against year and species (Extended Data Table 1). We also included the interaction term between year and species to account for the fact ...
(a) Spiders. (b) Sea urchins. (c) Millipedes. Is phylum Arthropoda vertebrate or invertebrate? What types of animals are "crustaceans"? Give several examples. What is the common name for members of phylum ascomycota? Is phylum Porifera vertebrate or invertebrate? Which ...
Using similar arguments, the dramatic evidence of the sensory processing, analytical and prediction ability of salticid spiders provides evidence for awareness greater than in any other invertebrates except cephalopods but we have little evidence of a pain system so do not at pre...
With the Open Science approach becoming important for research, the evolution towards open scientific-paper reviews is making an impact on the scientific community. However, there is a lack of publicly available resources for conducting research activities related to this subject, as only a limited ...
and poor management, have led to fishing practices that can have devastating and lasting impacts to aquatic ecosystems. To safeguard both fisheries and broader biodiversity, continuous efforts from scientists, policymakers and the ...
Prospects for using DNA barcoding to identify spiders in species-rich genera E. A Robinson, G. Blagoev, P. D.N Hebert, et al. ZooKeys, 16 (2009) Polyphyly of the hawk genera leucopternis and Buteogallus(Aves, accipitridae): multiple habitat shifts during the neotropical buteonine diversific...
Many instruments are of different uses, but some are more fit for certain types of music. Some instruments may lead themselves better than others to the music you like, so consider this before you start. 2 Think about your long-term future as a musician. If you want to play with other ...
A surprisingly high number of people were still very much in love with their long-term partners, though the researchers drew a distinction between romantic love, which can endure, and passionate or obsessive love, which often fades after the beginning of a relationship. The key to keeping that...
(Clark, 2007) are revealing surprising complexities in the life histories of these organisms. Although the long history of utilizing natural enemies, it wasn’t until 1919 that the term biological control was it appears that used for the first time by the late Harry Smith of the University of...
