Macroscale abundance patterns of hydromedusae in the temperate Southwestern Atlantic (27°-56° S).

Gelatinous organisms are crucial components of marine ecosystems and some species imply social and economic consequences. However, certain geographic areas, such as the temperate Southwestern Atlantic (SWA, 27° - 56° S), remain understudied in terms of jellyfish ecological data. We analyzed 3,727 plankton samples collected along ~6.

Copulatory behavior in a pholcid spider: males use specialized genitalic movements for sperm removal and copulatory courtship.

Sexual selection may operate on pre-copulatory, copulatory, and post-copulatory traits. An example of a copulatory target of sexual selection is the genitalic movements a male performs during copulation. These movements may function either to prevent sperm competition or to influence a female's fertilization decision.
