They have developed key characteristics such as multi-purpose silk types, venoms consisting of hundreds of components, locomotion driven by muscles and hydraulic pressure, a highly evolved key-lock mechanism between the complex genital structures, and many more unique features. After 300 million years of evolutionary refinement, spiders are present in all land habitats and represent one of the most successful groups of terrestrial organisms. Ecophysiology combines functional and evolutionary aspects of morphology, physiology, biochemistry and molecular biology with ecology. Cutting-edge science in spiders focuses on the circulatory and respiratory system, locomotion and dispersal abilities, the immune system, endosymbionts and pathogens, chemical communication, gland secretions, venom components, silk structure, structure and perception of colours as well as nutritional requirements. Spiders are valuable indicator species in agroecosystems and for conservation biology. Modern transfer and application technologies research spiders and their products with respect to their value for biomimetics, material sciences, and the agrochemical and pharmaceutical industries. 606 $aAnimal physiology 606 $aInvertebrates 606 $aBiochemistry 606 $aAnimal ecology 606 $aAnimal anatomy 606 $aAnimal Physiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L33030 606 $aInvertebrates$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L25058 606 $aAnimal Biochemistry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L14013 606 $aAnimal Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19015 606 $aAnimal Anatomy / Morphology / Histology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L25015 615 0$aAnimal physiology. 615 0$aInvertebrates. 615 0$aBiochemistry. 615 0$aAnimal ecology. 615 0$aAnimal anatomy. 615 14$aAnimal Physiology. 615 24$aInvertebrates. 615 24$aAnimal Biochemistry. 615 24$aAnimal Ecology. 615 24$aAnimal Anatomy / Morphology / Histology. 676 $a595.44 702 $aNentwig$b Wolfgang$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437835303321 996 $aSpider Ecophysiology$92509586 997 $aUNINA
