Unlike spiders and scorpions, sea spiders didn’t go through ancient genome duplications, making them a rare window into how ...

Researchers from the University of Vienna and the University of Wisconsin- Madison have created the first chromosome-level ...

In particular, they’ve evolved some really interesting mouthparts to keep themselves safe when targeting another spider. The most exciting thing I’ve ever discovered was the trap-jaw spiders.

An international collaboration featuring the University of Vienna and the University of Wisconsin-Madison (USA) has led to ...

Two spiders are locked in an embrace, their mouthparts pressed tightly against each other. The embrace was instigated by the female: she had signalled she was interested in mating.

Camel spiders — supposedly associated with camels, or referring to the enlarged, humped sections of their mouthparts, and their overall appearance Jerrymanders — perhaps because of an unfair ...
