Spinicaudata (colloquially ‘the clam shrimp’) are freshwater branchiopod crustaceans that occur worldwide in lakes and temporary pools. The spinicaudatans are easily recognizable by their bivalved carapace which is unusual among arthropods in tha

The evolutionary origin of modern viscid silk orb webs from ancient cribellate silk ancestors is associated with a 95% increase in diversity of orb-weaving spiders, and their dominance as predators of flying insects, yet the transition's mechanistic

Spiders attach their major ampullate silk dragline fibers to surfaces using attachment discs spun from pyriform silk fibers. These attachment discs allow spiders to move safely from place to place while secured to a dragline and to attach their webs

Spiders employ clever behavioral strategies combined with almost invisible custom-made adhesive silk fibers to spin prey capture webs. The adhesives used in these webs evolved over millions of years into a class of natural materials with outstanding

SUMMARY Spider dragline silk has enormous potential for the development of biomimetic fibers that combine strength and elasticity in low density polymers. These applications necessitate understanding how silk reacts to different environmental conditi

Spiders spin a variety of silk fibers and integrate them into webs with a wide range of architectures. Combined with clever behavioral strategies, these webs serve as effective prey capture devices. One of the most stereotypical and familiar web form

�Received 20 Apr 2012 | Accepted 30 Aug 2012 | Published 2 Oct 2012 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms2099 Spiders’ cobwebs ensnare both walking and flying prey. While the scaffolding silk can entangle flying insects, gumfoot silk threads pull walking prey off

We employ the adhesive web building strategy used by modern orb-weaving spiders to produce functional microthreads that are similar in structure (beads-on-a-string (BOAS) morphology) and adhesive properties to the capture-silk threads of the spider w
