| The largest known fossil spider as of 2011 is the araneid Nephila jurassica, from about, recorded from Daohuogo, Inner Mongolia in China. |
| The AcSp1 repeat units from L. hesperus and U. diversus are almost twice as long as the araneid AcSp1 repeat units. |
| Our comparison of A. trifasciata AcSp1 repeat sequence with that of other araneid species indicates that a specific amino acid sequence is maintained in the predicted helix-rich domain of AcSp1 repeats across Araneidae. |
| However, araneid AcSp1 first and last repeats still grouped within species-specific clades, suggesting that these repeat sequences are more homogeneous within a gene than those of previously analyzed spidroins. |

| Females hunted for araneid spiders among the dense vegetation bordering the sand in which they nested. |
