Abstract: Activity and occupancy dynamics of spiders are topics that have received little attention and are compounded by anecdotal field data, especially in Theraphosidae that are generally nocturnal. Due to potential vulnerability outside their burrows, it… read more here.

DOI: 10.1139/cjz-2019-0180
Abstract: Mygalomorphs depend on thermal microhabitats for successful behavior, but their thermal biology is still poorly known. Grammostola vachoni Schiapelli and Gerschman, 1961 is an endemic tarantula fro... read more here.
