The largest family of spiders, jumping spiders (Salticidae), is known for performing complex
visually mediated predatory and courtship behavior. As cursorial predators, they rely on their …

Spiders are among the most common animals in diverse terrestrial environments, and
display a variety of lifestyles and foraging modes. This chapter represents an overview of our …

Current climate change is disrupting biotic interactions and eroding biodiversity worldwide.
However, species sensitive to aridity, high temperatures, and climate variability might find …

We examine the distributed visual system of spiders, an ancient and diverse lineage of
predators. Across families, prey-capture strategies include active pursuit, sit-and-wait …

1. Rosette-shaped plants can amplify the diversity of predator arthropods and act as
potential shelters for these animals in grassland ecosystems under grazing effect. 2. Here …

Simple Summary Choosing the right habitat is a critical decision for an animal because it
influences its survival and reproduction. Spiders are abundant in all terrestrial habitats …

Habitat complexity is a main predictor of the distribution of arthropods on vegetation.
However, it remains poorly known whether plant architecture and fine‐scale spatial …

Tank bromeliads are good models for understanding how climate change may affect biotic
associations. We studied the relationships between spiders, the epiphytic tank bromeliad …

When selecting optimal habitats, animals should rely on detecting environmental cues that
indicate the suitability of a given site. In fossorial animals, restrictions of the underground …

The spectral sensitivity of adult male Cupiennius salei Keys, a nocturnal hunting spider, was
studied in a behavioural test. As known from earlier behavioural tests, C. salei will walk …
