Spiders are classified as Anthrophoda, Arachnida, and Araneae. into two types based on their life patterns: web-making hunting, commonly known trapdoor spiders. This study aimed to assess the diversity of spider distribution (Ordo Araneae) near Mount Galunggung. is quantitative. The VES (Visual Encounter Survey) method was utilized collect data. 1) Gadobangkong waterfall, 2) Panoongan 3) Cimeda...

Fungi and invertebrates comprise a major part of biodiversity in dead wood ecosystems depend on fungi to utilise the resource. Many also visit long-lived fruit bodies wood-decay feed spores, hymenium or other invertebrates. However, as traditional sampling methods are labour-intensive, we know little these interactions. In this study, use time-lapse cameras monitor visiting common fungus, Fomit...

Aim To (a) evaluate whether colonization of newly emerged high-elevation habitats occurred from neighbouring highlands (allopatric divergence and niche conservatism) or within the same mountain (peripatric parapatric shift) (b) test for effect past landscape configurations in geographically structuring biodiversity (a West–East structure spanning central part Transmexican Volcanic Belt). Locati...

BACKGROUND The genus Heser (Araneae, Gnaphosidae) belongs to the Zelotes group, and is currently known to comprise 10 species distributed in Africa, Asia, Europe and North America. The type species is Heser malefactor Tuneva, 2004 from Kazakhstan. NEW INFORMATION A new spider species, Heser stoevi sp. nov. (male and female) found in Koytendag Mountains, southeastern Turkmenistan is described ...

Laetesia raveni n. sp. (Araneae, Linyphiidae), is described based on specimens collected in New South Wales and Queensland (Australia). This new linyphiid species is of bright green colour, and it seems to have a preference to build its webs almost exclusively on two plant species, namely Calamus muelleri Wendland (Arecaceae) and Solanum inaequilaterum Domin, (Solanaceae), both of them densely ...

Rothilena (Araneae: Agelenidae: Ageleninae), a new genus of funnel-web spiders endemic to the Baja California Peninsula in Mexico, and six new species (Rothilena griswoldi sp. nov., Rothilena cochimi sp. nov., Rothilenapilar sp. nov., Rothilena golondrina sp. nov., Rothilena sudcaliforniensis sp. nov., and Rothilena naranjensis sp. nov.) are described and illustrated. Males are diagnosed by hav...

The appearance of neurofibrillary tangles (NFT), one of the major hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD), is most likely caused by inappropriate phosphorylation and/or dephosphorylation of tau, eventually leading to the accumulation of NFTs. Enhanced phosphorylation of tau on Ser(262) is detected early in the course of the disease and may have a role in the formation of tangles. Several kinases ...
