Cryptic spiders 🕷️❓ Congratulations to #CEB member Jackson Rendall on their recent publication in Austral Entomology (@austentsoc.bsky.social) about the natural history of the South Australian spiny trapdoor spider (Blakistonia aurea). Read the paper here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

The spiny trapdoor spider Blakistonia aurea (Mygalomorphae: Idiopidae) as a model to better understand the natural history of cryptic spiders
The diverse infraorder Mygalomorphae includes fossorial and cryptic spiders, such as tarantulas and trapdoor spiders. Their ability to disperse is often highly limited, rendering some mygalomorphs as...

Quick fire big bean updates from the past few months: 1. Began demonstrating labs and running tutorials at UWA! Helping students in the same place I was 5 years ago has been extremely humbling and rewarding. 2. Proposal completed - I am now 0.5% closer to achieving my dreams of obtaining a PhD.

Who doesn’t enjoy a good animal behaviour video at #AES2025? Andrea Piccinini surely had captured our attention by presenting his work on post-copulatory mating behaviour in mygalomorph spiders 🕷️ @austevolsoc.bsky.social

🐞 Ornaments Aren’t Just for Males 🏆 @hasbeanbeetle.bsky.social is studying female beetle ornaments, testing whether traits such as melanisation are used in mate choice, conflict, or resistance to harm — showcasing that ornaments may have functions beyond mate acquisition. 🐞👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨🥊 2/11
