Discovering spider fly (Diptera: Acroceridae) hosts and their biology using citizen science.

Acroceridae are active parasitoids of mygalomorph spiders. However, little is known of their interaction numbers and biology in the Neotropics. In this study, we present 15 new records of acrocerid-mygalomorph interactions, adding new biological information about spider fly development.

Impact of disturbed areas on Theraphosidae spiders diversity (Araneae) and first population data of (Walckenaer) in Panul Park.

Soil fauna constitutes one of the most abundant and richest environments on earth (Coleman et al. 2004, Fundamentals of solil ecology, 2nd ed. Elsevier Academic Press, London, UK).
