Morphological and thermoregulatory responses to urbanization in the European garden spider Araneus diadematus.

Katrien De Wolf, Maxime Dahirel, Pieter Vantieghem…·Dries Bonte

This study examines morphological and thermoregulatory responses of spiders to urbanization across spatial scales, finding size increases with urbanization while body condition declines, and no significant color change despite pigment evidence.

Urbanization-driven changes in web-building are decoupled from body size in an orb-web spider

Maxime Dahirel, Maarten De Cock, Pieter Vantieghem, Dries Bonte

This study shows urbanization affects web-building behavior in spiders independently of body size changes across different spatial scales.
