Egg toxicity in diverse spider taxa
Eggs of black widow spiders in the genus Latrodectus Walckenaer, 1805 (Theridiidae) are known to be toxic when injected into mammals. We surveyed eggs from 39 species of spiders in 21 families to determine if spider egg toxicity is a unique property of widow spiders, or if spider egg toxicity is associated with other spider taxa. Eggs from 13 species of spiders in three families were determined...
متن کاملDNA barcode data accurately assign higher spider taxa
The use of unique DNA sequences as a method for taxonomic identification is no longer fundamentally controversial, even though debate continues on the best markers, methods, and technology to use. Although both existing databanks such as GenBank and BOLD, as well as reference taxonomies, are imperfect, in best case scenarios "barcodes" (whether single or multiple, organelle or nuclear, loci) cl...
متن کاملGrazing Impacts of Diverse Zooplankton Taxa on Thin Layers
The US Navy needs to know how distributions and abundances of light-scattering and sound-scattering organisms in the ocean vary in space and time, particularly in the vertical dimension. Recent field observations have shown that many biological properties may vary substantially over small (e.g. centimeter) scales, commonly referred to as “thin layers” (e.g. Cowles et al. 1998, 1999, Hanson & Do...

متن کاملIntegrating insights across diverse taxa: challenges for understanding social evolution
Citation: Elgar MA (2015) Integrating insights across diverse taxa: challenges for understanding social evolution. While it is broadly true that all sexually reproducing organisms have a " social life " (Trivers, 1985), social behavior outside courting and mating is not the modal animal lifestyle. Nevertheless, there is remarkable phylogenetic breadth and evolutionary convergence of the diverse...
