An overview of the feeding patterns of 10 groups of common agroecosystem spiders is presented to inform entomologists and ecologists concerned with issues of natural biological control.
Predation by green lynx spider, Peucetia viridans (Araneae: Oxyopidae), inhabiting cotton and woolly croton plants in East Texas

Predation by green lynx spider, Peucetia viridans (Hentz), was studied on cotton and woolly croton plants in East Texas. This species feeds both diurnally and nocturnally. P. viridans was observed…

The role of humoral immunity to Schistosoma mansoni infection in C57BL/6J mice was examined by employing a passive transfer system and it appears that the protective factors in immune serum are IgG antibodies.

- 1 December 1992
The predation ecology of the striped lynx spider, Oxyopes salticus Hentz, and green lynx spider, Peucetia viridans (Hentz), was studied during 108 h of visual observation in an insecticide-free…

Parameters of immunization of mice with 60Cobalt-irradiated Schistosoma mansoni cercariae are described and related to protection against subsequent challenge infection, and resistance increased with increasing irradiation doses.
Evaluation of the Importance of the Striped Lynx Spider, Oxyopes salticus (Araneae: Oxyopidae), as a Predator in Texas Cotton
- M. Nyffeler, D. A. Dean, W. Sterling
- Environmental Science
- 1 October 1987
Predation by the striped lynx spider, Oxyopes salticus Hentz, on cotton arthropods was studied in an unsprayed field in east Texas to estimate how many prey may have been killed by the spider in the middle of the growing season.
The southern black widow spider, Latrodectus mactans (Araneae, Theridiidae), as a predator of the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta (Hymenoptera, Formicidae), in Texas cotton fields

- Biology
- 12 January 1988
In cotton fields of east Texas, the southern black widow spider, Latrodectus mactans (F.), was observed to capture the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta Buren, which constituted 75% of the…

Schistosoma mansoni: adsorption of human blood group A and B antigens by schistosomula.

- 1 April 1974
Evidence is presented suggesting that a glycosphingolipid structure may be important in the binding of erythrocyte antigens to schistosomes and which, if any, human blood group antIGens are adsorbed onto the surfaces ofschistosomula in vitro.
