ABSTRAK Kebanyakan spesies labah-labah di Malaysia dianggap tidak berbahaya kepada manusia dan kes gigitan labah-labah jarang dilaporkan. Ini adalah disebabkan oleh kesan dari gigitan yang tidak serius dan mangsa tidak mendapatkan rawatan di hospital. Sehingga kini, hanya terdapat beberapa kes gigitan labah-labah yang didokumentasikan dari Malaysia. Di sini, kami melaporkan gejala gigitan, kaedah perawatan dan hasil perawatan dua pesakit yang digigit labah-labah pemburu ‘Hitam & Emas’ dari genus Thelcticopis di Malaysia yang masih belum dinamakan spesisnya. Kes pertama melibatkan seorang lelaki berusia 42 tahun yang telah digigit di hujung jari tengahnya, menyebabkan kesakitan dan bengkak setempat. Beliau dirawat secara simtomatik dan pulih tanpa sebarang komplikasi. Kes kedua melibatkan seorang wanita berusia 57 tahun, yang telah digigit pada jari kelingking, menyebabkan kesakitan berdenyut dan kebengkakan progresif. Dia dirawat secara simtomatik dan dibenarkan pulang selepas 24 jam di wad perubatan. Walau bagaimanapun, beliau mendapat sakit di leher dan sendi terutamanya pinggul dan lutut. Beliau telah dirawat dengan ubat tahan sakit dan semua gejala sembuh dalam tempoh dua hari.

Araneae (Spider) Photos
Araneae (Spider) Photos Araneae (Spiders) About Information on: Spider Photos of Links to WWW Spiders Spiders of North America Relationships Spider Groups Spider Resources -- An Identification Manual About Spiders As in the other arachnid orders, appendage specialization is very important in the evolution of spiders. In spiders the five pairs of appendages of the prosoma (one of the two main body sections) that follow the chelicerae are the pedipalps followed by four pairs of walking legs. The pedipalps are modified to serve as mating organs by mature male spiders. These modifications are often very complicated and differences in their structure are important characteristics used by araneologists in the classification of spiders. Pedipalps in female spiders are structurally much simpler and are used for sensing, manipulating food and sometimes in locomotion. It is relatively easy to tell mature or nearly mature males from female spiders (at least in most groups) by looking at the pedipalps -- in females they look like functional but small legs while in males the ends tend to be enlarged, often greatly so. In young spiders these differences are not evident. There are also appendages on the opisthosoma (the rear body section, the one with no walking legs) the best known being the spinnerets. In the first spiders there were four pairs of spinnerets. Living spiders may have four e.g., (liphistiomorph spiders) or three pairs (e.g., mygalomorph and ecribellate araneomorphs) or three paris of spinnerets and a silk spinning plate called a cribellum (the earliest and many extant araneomorph spiders). Spinnerets' history as appendages is suggested in part by their being projections away from the opisthosoma and the fact that they may retain muscles for movement Much of the success of spiders traces directly to their extensive use of silk and poison.

Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC 20560 Herbert W. Levi Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138 KEY WORDS: taxonomy, phytogeny, cladistics, biology, diversity INTRODUCTION In the last 15 years understanding of the higher systematics of Araneae has changed greatly. Large classical superfamilies and families have turned out to be poly- or paraphyletic; posited relationships were often based on sym- plesiomorphies. In this brief review we summarize current taxonomic and phylogenetic knowledge and suggest where future efforts might profitably be concentrated. We lack space to discuss fully all the clades mentioned, and the cited numbers of described taxa are only approximate. Other aspects of spider biology have been summarized by Barth (7), Eberhard (47), Jackson & Parks (72), Nentwig (105), Nyffeler & Benz (106), Riechert & Lockley (134), Shear (149) and Turnbull (160).

Spiders are among the most diverse groups on earth. Among these taxa, spiders are exceptional for their complete dependence on predation as a trophic strategy. In contrast, the diversity of insects and mites may result from their diversity in dietary strategies•notably phytophagy and parasitism (104).

Spidroin Profiling of Cribellate Spiders Provides Insight Into the Evolution of Spider Prey Capture Strategies
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Spidroin profling of cribellate spiders provides insight into the evolution of spider prey capture strategies Nobuaki Kono1*, Hiroyuki Nakamura2, Masaru Mori1, Masaru Tomita1 & Kazuharu Arakawa1 Orb-weaving spiders have two main methods of prey capture: cribellate spiders use dry, sticky capture threads, and ecribellate spiders use viscid glue droplets. Predation behaviour is a major evolutionary driving force, and it is important on spider phylogeny whether the cribellate and ecribellate spiders each evolved the orb architecture independently or both strategies were derived from an ancient orb web. These hypotheses have been discussed based on behavioural and morphological characteristics, with little discussion on this subject from the perspective of molecular materials of orb web, since there is little information about cribellate spider-associated spidroin genes. Here, we present in detail a spidroin catalogue of six uloborid species of cribellate orb-weaving spiders, including cribellate and pseudofagelliform spidroins, with transcriptome assembly complemented with long read sequencing, where silk composition is confrmed by proteomics. Comparative analysis across families (Araneidae and Uloboridae) shows that the gene architecture, repetitive domains, and amino acid frequencies of the orb web constituting silk proteins are similar among orb-weaving spiders regardless of the prey capture strategy. Notably, the fact that there is a diference only in the prey capture thread proteins strongly supports the monophyletic origin of the orb web. An orb-weaving spider generally has morphologically distinct types of abdominal silk glands, and each silk gland synthesizes specialized silk proteins (spidroins) and produces up to seven diferent silks with diverse mechanical properties1–4.

Spiders of NW-Europe
Spiders of NW-Europe Araneae, Spiders of North-West Europe Nederlandse versie This European spider site contains more than 1300 pictures of over 260 spiders commonly found in NW-Europe, especially in the area between the Netherlands and the south of France. There is a thumbnail page and a Spider location chart for a quick overview of all the spiders posted on these pages. Of all photographed spiders, there is a short description about their habitat, size and other interesting facts. And here is an Overview of spider know how. Apart from the European spiders I have also posted around 700 pictures of Australian spiders. Most pages are translated in Dutch and some in Esperanto. Most people think that spiders are dangerous creatures that should be wiped away with a cloth, sucked up in the vacuum cleaner or smashed with a newspaper. That is not wise because spiders play a very important role in our Eco-system. They catch many annoying and harmful insects and are therefore very useful creatures. As you will see on these pages, many of the spiders are beautifully colored, and therefore very pleasant and wonderful to look at. Since most spiders are very small, you need a magnifying glass or a camera to study them or to reveal their beauty. I receive many questions about poisonous/venomous spiders. Most spiders use venom to kill their prey. Spider venom is almost always harmless to humans. However, there are a few exceptions. In Europe there is one spider, called "Black widow", whose effects of the bite may hurt.

BioRisk 4(1): 131–147. doi: 10.3897/biorisk.4.48 Abstract A total of 47 spider species are alien to Europe; this corresponds to 1.3 % of the native spider fauna. Th ey belong to (in order of decreasing abundance) Th eridiidae (10 species), Pholcidae (7 species), Sparassidae, Salticidae, Linyphiidae, Oonopidae (4–5 species each) and 11 further families. Th ere is a remarkable increase of new records in the last years and the arrival of one new species for Europe per year has been predicted for the next decades. One third of alien spiders have an Asian origin, one fi fth comes from North America and Africa each. 45 % of species may originate from temperate habitats and 55 % from tropical habitats. In the past banana or other fruit shipments were an important pathway of introduction; today potted plants and probably container shipments in general are more important. Most alien spiders established in and around human buildings, only few species established in natural sites.
