Abstract:

World experts of different disciplines, from molecular biology to macro-ecology, recognize the value of cave ecosystems as ideal ecological and evolutionary laboratories. Among other subterranean taxa, spiders stand out as intriguing model organisms for their ecological role of top predators, their unique adaptations to the hypogean medium and their sensitivity to anthropogenic disturbance. As the description of the first eyeless spider ( Stalita taenaria ), an array of papers on subterranean spider biology, ecology and evolution has been published, but a comprehensive review on these topics i

Abstract:

AbstractTheridion strepitus sp. nov. is described from lava tube caves from Isla Santa Cruz, Galápagos, Ecuador. It is the only species known in this worldwide genus that is eyeless and it is the only Galápagos species that has stridulatory picks on the male abdomen. The stridulatory apparatus demonstrates that the species is not a descendant from the other Theridion species known in the Galápagos, but is probably a relict of a lineage now extinct there in epigean habitats.

Abstract:

Spiders of the subfamily Coelotinae prefer moist and dark places, such as cliffs, logs, stones, bark, leaf litter, corners, holes and crevices of buildings as well as caves (Wang 2002). As for species inhabiting caves, the majority are troglophilic and trogloxenic, but few ones being troglobitic (Liu & Li 2009). Five cave-dwelling eyeless members have been described up to date, all known only from females. Coelotes troglocaecus Shimojanal & Nishihira, 2000 was recorded from Okinawa Island, Japan, and four others from China: Draconarius yosiianus (Nishikawa 1999) from Guangxi Province;

Abstract:

Three eyeless species belonging to the spider genus Cicurina Menge are known from five caves located south of Austin, Travis County (Texas, United States). Because adult female cave-dwelling Cicurina are not common, and adult males rarely collected, these species were described from a very small sample of individuals (nine females). Recent collections have allowed the examination of a larger series of specimens, providing an opportunity to assess intraspecific variability. This has resulted in the synonymy of C. cueva Gertsch and C. reyesi Gertsch with Cicurina bandida Gertsch. The synonymy is

The new genus Kut gen. nov., with the type species Harpactocrates troglophilus Brignoli, 1978, also includes two recently discovered new species from the coastal Mediterranean Turkey: Kut izmiricus sp. nov. and K. dimensis sp. nov. All three species display troglomorphic traits, most distinct in K. dimensis sp. nov. Another genus-level trait is a characteristic simple type of bulb in males. Female copulatory organ shows similarity to the endemic Caucasian genus Cryptoparachtes Dunin, 1992

Callosa gen. n. was found in caves in Yunnan and Guangxi, and its copulatory organs are similar to those of Bathyphantes and Porrhomma, but differ greatly in details.

Abstract:

Subterranean animals living in perpetual darkness may maintain photoresponse. However, the evolutionary processes behind the conflict between eye loss and maintenance of the photoresponse remain largely unknown. We used Leptonetela spiders to investigate the driving forces behind the maintenance of the photoresponse in cave-dwelling spiders. Our behavioral experiments showed that all eyeless/reduced-eyed cave-dwelling species retained photophobic response and that they had substantially decreased survival at cave entrances due to weak drought resistance.

Evolution in profound darkness often leads to predictable, convergent traits, such as the loss of vision. Yet, the consequences of such repeated evolutionary experiments remain obscure, especially regarding fundamental regulatory behaviors like circadian rhythms. We studied circadian clocks of blind cave spiders and their sighted relatives. In the field, cave spiders exhibit low per expression and maintain constant activity levels. Curiously, their clocks are not permanently lost; exposure to monochromatic blue light restores both circadian gene expression and behavioral rhythms. Conversely, b

Abstract:

Abstract Background Evidence suggests that Pax6 genes are necessary for the specification of eyes in a variety of metazoans, including mandibulate arthropods. In these arthropods, Pax6 genes usually interact with a conserved set of genes, collectively called the retinal determination gene network (RDGN), to specify eye cells. However, recent data have argued that Pax6 genes lack a role in the development of the eyes in Chelicerata (= arachnids, horseshoe crabs, and sea spiders). A genome sequence of the eyeless mite Archegozetes longisetosus revealed that it retains two Pax6 paralogs, as well
