New study reveals a life aquatic for many spider species
(PHYSorg.com Biology)
 


From sea shores to salt flats, a high incidence of spiders spin a life in or around water. Researchers at the California Academy of Sciences and William Paterson University found that nearly one fifth of all spider families are associated with saltwater or freshwater aquatic habitats. Their findings-recently published in the Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society and aptly titled `The Life Aquatic with Spiders`-address the common misconception that all spiders dwell on land, and reveal surprising evolutionary pathways of this group from a land-based existence back to a water-based existence.
