. 2021 May;
108(3):22.
PMID: 33945014
Most spiders use major ampullate silk (MAS) to perform many functions across their lifetimes, including prey capture, vibratory signal detection, and safety/dragline. To accommodate their various needs, adult spiders can...

J Exp Biol
. 2020 Feb;
223(Pt 5).
PMID: 32001544
Composites, both natural and synthetic, achieve novel functionality by combining two or more constituent materials. For example, the earliest adhesive silk in spider webs - cribellate silk - is composed...
