#cespitum — Public Fediverse posts

The #spider #Philodromus #cespitum has a #Holarctic #distribution, is an active #hunter, and is flexible in its choice of prey. Adults exhibit a distinct 24-hour rhythm dictated by circadian pacemakers. M. Řezáč et al. (2025) found that #endosymbiotic #bacteria (specifically #Wolbachia, #Rickettsia, and #Spiroplasma) can underlie the spider's resistance to insecticides.
