Babies! Probably Aranea diadematus spiderlings. I think the adults get called garden spiders round these parts.

So Claudia is the Bold #JumpingSpider that we adopted from our mailbox a while ago https://lgbtqia.space/@h3mmy/114713279318659153

She'd been in her hammock for a couple of weeks and we figured she's probably molting. Well, she didn't molt. And now I guess I'm a grandparent? While I may be barren, my spoods are clearly not so. And now I know she's gravid so this won't be the last batch either.

Also, despite the looming silhouette vibe going in this picture, Claudia is rather timid. She's still got just the 7 legs and I hope she can regrow it some when she eventually molts.

Late Autumn/Winter time gardening attempting to propagate some baby spider plants! I cut off 8 of them and put them in cups with a small amount of water and root grow hormone!!! Hope it's successful! 😁 #spiderplants #flora #indoorplants #indoorgardening #plants #houseplants #propagation #growing #saplings #spiderlings #plantlings #babyplants #growingroots #UpstateNY #winter #lateautumn #beekeepingninja
She's been busy! Common House spider, Parasteatoda tepidariorum, with eleventy-umpteen babies. In the Arachtober pool for Day 30: https://www.flickr.com/photos/wanderin_weeta/54104521749/in/pool-arachtober/ #VancouverIsland #Spiders #Spiderlings #Arachtober

The image by Emilie Maudit shows Agelena labyrinthica #spiderlings, which become #aggressive when they disperse after moulting. However, Maudit & co have discovered that spiderlings that interact with siblings after the moult remain #sociable

In her #JEB100 ECR Spotlight, Emilie Maudit talks about her research showing that aggressive #spiderlings become tolerant of their siblings after their first moult, which could be the origin of the emergence of permanent #sociality and how she hopes to join Jayne Yack for her postdoc

ECR Spotlight – Emilie Mauduit

ECR Spotlight is a series of interviews with early-career authors from a selection of papers published in Journal of Experimental Biology and aims to promote not only the diversity of early-career researchers (ECRs) working in experimental biology during our centenary year, but also the huge variety of animals and physiological systems that are essential for the ‘comparative’ approach. Emilie Mauduit is an author on ‘ Social recapitulation: moulting can restore social tolerance in aggressive spiderlings’, published in JEB. Emilie is a PhD student in the lab of Raphaël Jeanson at the Research Centre on Animal Cognition (CRCA), Centre for Integrative Biology (CBI), CNRS, Paul Sabatier University Toulouse, France, investigating the origin of sociality in the animal kingdom.
