Evaluation of fixative solutions for ultrastructural analysis of brown spider Loxosceles intermedia (Araneae: Sicariidae) tissues.
In view of the widely varying compositions of fixative solutions used for studying spiders, five different fixative formulas were tested for fixing male brown-spider (Loxosceles intermedia) gonad tissues. The brown spider represents a public health problem in Curitiba (Paraná State, Brazil). Morphological study of its gonads may aid in understanding the reproductive strategies of this species, ...

متن کاملPeriodicity of Molting and Resumption of Post-Molt Feeding in the Brown Recluse Spider Loxosceles reclusa (Araneae: Sicariidae)
The periodicity of molting and resumption of feeding after molting was investigated in the brown recluse spider, Loxosceles reclusa Gertsch and Mulaik (Sicariidae). Spiders molted almost every hour of the day but there was a tendency to molt more frequently between 8 A.M. and 1 A.M. Spiderlings resumed feeding after 20 hrs post-molt with feeding occuring more frequently around the 43rd hour and...
متن کاملInfluence of spider silk on refugia preferences of the recluse spiders Loxosceles reclusa and Loxosceles laeta (Araneae: Sicariidae).
In a previous experimental study, recluse spiders Loxosceles reclusa Gertsch and Mulaik and Loxosceles laeta (Nicolet) (Araneae: Sicariidae) preferred small cardboard refugia covered with conspecific silk compared with never-occupied refugia. Herein, we investigated some factors that might be responsible for this preference using similar cardboard refugia. When the two Loxosceles species were g...
