Spider cognition
RR Jackson, FR Cross - Advances in insect physiology, 2011 - Elsevier
Spiders, having minute brains, were once considered simple, instinct-driven automatons, but
research on spider biology is revealing increasing evidence of their cognitive abilities. In this …

Treating fossils as terminal taxa in divergence time estimation reveals ancient vicariance patterns in the palpimanoid spiders
Incorporation of fossils into biogeographic studies can have a profound effect on the
conclusions that result, particularly when fossil ranges are nonoverlapping with extant …

Phylogenetic placement of pelican spiders (Archaeidae, Araneae), with insight into evolution of the “neck” and predatory behaviours of the superfamily Palpimanoidea
Phylogenetic relationships among archaeid spider lineages, as well as the placement of

Palpimanoid spiders from the Jurassic of China
Only two specimens of spiders have been described from Jurassic strata, so the recovery of
some 400 new specimens from rocks of middle Jurassic age from China signals a dramatic …

Maternal care in Mid-Cretaceous lagonomegopid spiders
Maternal care benefits the survival and fitness of offspring, often at a cost to the mother's
future reproduction, and has evolved repeatedly throughout the animal kingdom. In extant …
