Herein, we report observations about spider predation on anurans (adults and juveniles) in
Central Amazonia and a literature review of spiders preying on amphibians in the …

We present a species list of spiders collected over a period of more than 5 years in a
rainforest reserve in central Amazonia-Reserva Ducke. The list is mainly based on intense …

Tropical wandering spiders (Ctenidae) are a diverse group of cursorial predators with its
greatest species richness in the tropics. Traditionally, Ctenidae are diagnosed based on the …

Tropical wandering spiders (Ctenidae) are a diverse family of cursorial predators whose
species richness peaks in the tropics. The phylogeny of Ctenidae has been examined using …

A cladistic analysis based on parsimony was performed to test the monophyly of Cteninae.
The data matrix comprises 72 terminal taxa scored for 88 characters from external …

Abstract Phoneutria boliviensis (FOP-Cambridge 1897) is a medically important wandering
spider distributed from Central America to northern South America. This study is the first …

We studied temporal variation in adult size and sexual size dimorphism (SSD) of seven
hunting spider species, Ctenus amphora, C. crulsi, C. manauara, C. villasboasi (Ctenidae) …

To monitor the biodiversity quality of rainforest fragments in the eastern region of the Ivory
Coast, the density of at least one important invertebrate group needs to be determined. This …

The sympatric occurrence of species is thought to be based mainly on the differences in their
use of habitat and of limiting resources. Segregating parameters may be of spatial or …

Phoneutria is one of the most medically important spider genera; however, its ecology is
poorly known. In Amazonian upland rainforests, there are two sympatric species of the …
