HARROW: One major downside of global warming? Spiders. So many spiders. Previous studies have suggested that warmer weather may mean more spiders overall (and bigger ones, at that) and may make poisonous species more common as more and more regions fit their temperature preferences.
But apparently we have to worry about them getting fast and clumsy, too. Is a fast and clumsy spider better than a slow, methodical spider? Unclear. Both sound terrible.
Researchers tested how temperature changes a spider’s ability to move. It’s a good question: Spiders rely on fluid to move their limbs. Instead of using muscles like we do, their bodies control the ebb and flow of fluid to fill up and move different limb portions. It would make sense for that fluid — and by extension, their movements — to change based on the temperature.
