MEDI: Macronutrient Extraction and Determination from invertebrates, a rapid, cheap and streamlined protocol

Jordan P. Cuff et al.

Summary: The study introduces a protocol called Macroutrient Extraction and Determination from Invertebrates (MEDI) for the direct, rapid, and relatively low-cost determination of macronutrient content from single small macroinvertebrates. Macronutrients are extracted and determined using colorimetric assays, successfully identifying taxonomic differences in macronutrient content. MEDI can determine macronutrient content in small and large individual invertebrates, with the total cost of around $1.35 per sample and results obtained within around 3 days.

Summary: This paper reports 319 incidents of snake predation by spiders based on global literature and social media survey. Snakes caught by spiders are predominantly small-sized, with most incidents documented in the USA and Australia. Spiders from the Theridiidae family are responsible for about 60% of the reported incidents and utilize strong tangle webs for prey capture.
