The long-standing mystery around why spider webs sometimes feature "extra touches" known as stabilimenta has been revisited ...

Many spider species build spiral wheel-shaped webs – orb webs – to capture prey, and some incorporate so-called “stabilimenta ...

Quantification of the physical and biological factors that influence the spatial structuring of food webs is central to inform effective resource management. We used baseline-corrected stable isotope ...

1. Trophic interactions are central to ecosystem functioning, but the link between food web structure and ecosystem functioning remains obscure. Regularities (i.e. consistent patterns) in food web ...

For the first time, astronomers have detected dark matter hanging from massive filaments that stretch across the universe and form a "cosmic web" that trap galaxies like morning dew on a spiderweb.
