An Ant-Mimicking Jumping Spider Achieves Higher Predation Probability with Lower Success Rate When Exposed to Ethanol.

Ethanol (ETOH) affects many animals' behaviour in nature; for example, honeybees become more aggressive after consuming ETOH. In previous studies, scientists have used honeybees and fruit flies as models to determine if they showed a strong preference to ETOH. Moreover, ETOH could affect their locomotion and learning abilities.

Eight cobweb spider species from China building detritus-based, bell-shaped retreats (Araneae, Theridiidae).

Eight cobweb spider species building a detritus-based, bell-shaped retreat from China are reported in the current paper, including five new species and three known species: Li & Liu, , Li & Liu, , Li & Liu, , Li & Liu, , Li & Liu, , (Chen, 1993), (Bösenberg & Strand, 1906), and (Zhu, 1998). Among them, the male of (Zhu, 1998) is described for the first time. We provide photographs of all species and descriptions for new species in the current paper.
