We traced the evolution of silk use by spiders in attacks on prey by combining previous publications with new observations of 31 species in 16 families. Two new prey‐wrapping techniques are described. One, in which the ...
Sediment organic carbon stocks were similar among four species compositions in a tropical seagrass meadow
(2022)
Seagrass meadows composed of larger species are assumed to store larger sediment organic carbon (Corg)
stocks, storing more Corg in their tissues and larger leaves promoting greater burial of seagrass and non-seagrass
Corg. ...
