Journal ArticleDOI

Securing paternity in spiders? A review on occurrence and effects of mating plugs and male genital mutilation

Gabriele Uhl, +2 more
- 01 Jan 2010 - 
TL;DR: The compilation of the available information on the presence of the various types of mating plugs suggests that plugs predominantly occur in entelegyne spiders, and plugs can be considered as male adaptations to avoid sperm competition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spiders are special: fear and disgust evoked by pictures of arthropods

Antje B. M. Gerdes, +3 more
- 01 Jan 2009 - 
TL;DR: Fear and disgust ratings of spider pictures significantly predicted the questionnaire scores for fear of spiders, whereas dangerousness ratings of spiders and ratings of other arthropods do not provide any predictive power, demonstrating that spider fear is in fact spider specific.
Journal ArticleDOI

Organic labeling influences food valuation and choice.

Nicolas Linder, +9 more
- 15 Oct 2010 - 
TL;DR: An fMRI experiment in which subjects saw and bid on different foods labeled with (or without) a widely known German emblem for organically produced food found increased activity in the ventral striatum for foods labeled "organic" in comparison to conventionally labeled food.
Journal ArticleDOI

Potential and limitations of X-Ray micro-computed tomography in arthropod neuroanatomy: a methodological and comparative survey.

Andy Sombke, +4 more
- 01 Jun 2015 - 
TL;DR: This study shows that micro‐CT is highly suitable for analyzing arthropod neuroarchitecture in situ and allows specific neuropils to be distinguished within the brain to extract quantitative data such as neuropil volumes, and data acquisition is considerably faster compared with many classical histological techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sexual conflict over copulation duration in a cannibalistic spider

Jutta M. Schneider, +5 more
- 01 Apr 2006 - 
TL;DR: It is revealed that sexual cannibalism after the first insertion is costly for males and it is proposed that these costs arise because females benefit from polyandry.
