To successfully capture flying insect prey, a spider's orb web must withstand the energy of impact without the silk breaking. In this study, we examined the anchor threads: the silk lines that anchor the main capture area of the web to the surroundin

Spider viscid silk adheres to insects in orb webs and is a “smart-adhesive” that quickly changes droplet size, viscosity, and adhesiveness in response to atmospheric humidity. Different species of spiders “tune” water uptake to match the humi

In a likely coevolutionary arms race, insects evolved a variety of counter strategies to avoid capture by spider webs, while spiders’ evolved innovations web structure and especially their adhesive silks. For instance, insects’ cuticles employ a

The spider major ampullate (MA) silk exhibits high tensile strength and extensibility and is typically a blend of MaSp1 and MaSp2 proteins with the latter comprising glycine–proline–glycine–glycine-X repeating motifs that promote extensibility

Islands have played a key role in understanding species formation ever since Darwin's work on the Galapagos and Wallace's work in the Malay Archipelago. Like oceanic islands, habitat 'islands', such as mountaintops and caves similarly may drive diver

Spider silks are thought to have antimicrobial properties that prevent rapid degradation. Despite its biomedical potential, little research has focused on antimicrobial properties of spider silks. We tested the antimicrobial properties of gluey gumfo

Newborns acquire their first microbiota at birth. Maternal vaginal or skin bacteria colonize newborns delivered vaginally or by C-section, respectively (Dominguez-Bello et al. 2010 #884). We aimed to determine differences in the presence of four tetr
