The burnt #wolfspider, #Xerolycosa #nemoralis (#Lycosidae, #Araneae), is a #species of #spider native to Eurasia that prefers dry #habitats, hunts prey actively and rests in a self-dug burrow. The authors A. Bednarek et al. (2016) studied the spider's response to thermal #stress in form of an increased #Hsp70 (protein/ enzyme complex) synthesis in by humans polluted environments. #Biodiversity
