Thermal behaviour of a small spider (Araneae: Araneidae: Araneinae) on horizontal webs in semi-arid Western Australia

The solar orientation response of a small spider (gen. nov.: Araneae: Araneidae: Araneinae) is examined at a semi-arid location in tropical Western Australia. The spiders rest beneath horizontal dome-shaped webs close to the ground surface on spinifex (Triodia sp.). The spiders are small (c. 5 mm lo...
