Scientists discovered three new species of sea spiders that live near the ocean floor and feast on bacteria that convert ...

Scientists have long sought to understand why sea spiders keep some of their most important organs in their legs.

Unlike spiders and scorpions, sea spiders didn’t go through ancient genome duplications, making them a rare window into how ...

And, thanks to a discovery by a team of scientists, three more species have been added to the list of sea-dwelling arthropods − with the special distinction of being what researchers called ...

It's not easy to look at a sea spider and see an animal so representative of its kind that it may help scientists sort out ...

Scientists on the US West Coast say they discovered three previously unknown species of deep-sea spider that could have a rare diet fueled by a common greenhouse gas.

Researchers from the University of Vienna and the University of Wisconsin- Madison have created the first chromosome-level ...

This previously unknown symbiotic relationship helps keep methane—a major greenhouse gas—trapped in the ocean.

Scientists just sequenced the first sea spider genome, uncovering genetic clues to limb growth, regeneration, and ancient ...

Spider-like creatures living near methane seeps on the seafloor appear to cultivate and consume microbial species on their bodies that feed on the energy-rich gas. This expands the set of organisms ...
