Sex differences in spiders: from phenotype to genomics
Sexual reproduction is pervasive in animals and has led to the evolution of sexual
dimorphism. In most animals, males and females show marked differences in primary and …

Beyond spider personality: The relationships between behavioral, physiological, and environmental factors
Spiders are useful models for testing different hypotheses and methodologies relating to
animal personality and behavioral syndromes because they show a range of behavioral …

Behavioural, morphological, and life history shifts during invasive spread
Invasive species are common around the world, but we still do not know which traits are
most important for successfully establishing in new environments. Different stages of the …

Dispersal and life history of brown widow spiders in dated invasive populations on two continents
Theory and empirical work suggest that behaviours such as dispersal and exploration are
predictors of invasive success, and that behaviours may shift predictably after invasive …

The importance of growing up: juvenile environment influences dispersal of individuals and their neighbours
Dispersal is a key ecological process that is strongly influenced by both phenotype and
environment. Here, we show that juvenile environment influences dispersal not only by …

Invasive brown widow spiders disperse aerially under a broad range of environmental conditions
Spiders commonly disperse on silk lines as juveniles by means of rappelling or ballooning.
These modes of dispersal, especially long‐distance dispersal via ballooning, can greatly …
