The role of behavior in the evolution of spiders, silks, and webs
F Vollrath, P Selden - Annu. Rev. Ecol. Evol. Syst., 2007 - annualreviews.org
Spiders' silks and webs have made it possible for this diverse taxon to occupy a unique
niche as the main predator for another, even more diverse taxon, the insects. Indeed, it might …

Phylogenomics resolves a spider backbone phylogeny and rejects a prevailing paradigm for orb web evolution
Spiders represent an ancient predatory lineage known for their extraordinary biomaterials,
including venoms and silks. These adaptations make spiders key arthropod predators in …

A protocol for digesting internal soft tissues and mounting spiders for scanning electron microscopy
F Álvarez-Padilla, G Hormiga - The Journal of Arachnology, 2007 - BioOne
We describe a simple protocol for digesting the internal soft tissues of spiders using an
enzyme complex known as pancreatin. This technique is preferred over digestions with …
