Rapid prey manipulation and bite location preferences in three species of wandering spiders.

Predator-prey interactions are the interspecific relationships of greatest interest in ecology. Spiders are among the most diverse and ubiquitous terrestrial predators on the planet. Their large dietary breadth is often linked with the development of specific predatory behaviors and morphological adaptations.

Intersexual Differences in the Gene Expression of (Araneae, Ctenidae) Toxins Revealed by Venom Gland Transcriptome Analyses.

The wandering spider, , is one of Colombia's most active nocturnal arthropod predators of vertebrates and invertebrates. Its venom has been a relevant subject of study in the last two decades. However, the scarcity of transcriptomic data for the species limits our knowledge of the distinct components present in its venom for linking the mainly neurotoxic effects of the spider venom to a particular molecular target.

Deciphering the diet of a wandering spider (; Araneae: Ctenidae) by DNA metabarcoding of gut contents.

Arachnids are the most abundant land predators. Despite the importance of their functional roles as predators and the necessity to understand their diet for conservation, the trophic ecology of many arachnid species has not been sufficiently studied. In the case of the wandering spider, F.
