WASHINGTON Women's Eric Dickerson Jersey , June 18 (Xinhua) -- Spiders from at least eight different families can prey on small fish and "fishing spiders" are probably geographically widespread, occurring on all continents except Antarctica, according to a study published Wednesday in the U.S. open-access journal PLOS ONE.


Spiders are traditionally viewed as predators of insects, but in recent years, researchers have become increasingly aware that spiders are not exclusively insectivorous, and that certain larger- sized species might supplement their insect diet by occasionally catching small vertebrate prey.


In the new study, Martin Nyffeler of the University of Basel, Switzerland and Bradley Pusey of the University of Western Australia gathered and documented numerous incidents of spiders predating fish from all around the world.


According to their systematic review Women's Aaron Donald Jersey , spiders from as many as five families have been observed predating on small fish in the wild and three more families contain species that catch fish under laboratory conditions.


These so called semi-aquatic spiders typically dwell at the fringes of shallow freshwater streams, ponds or swamps, the researchers said.


These spiders, some of which are capable of swimming, diving and walking on the water surface, have powerful neurotoxins and enzymes that enable them to kill and digest fish that often exceed them in size and weight, they said.


The study showed that naturally occurring fish predation by spiders has been reported from all continents with the exception of Antarctica.


Most incidents have been documented in North America, especially in the wetlands of Florida Women's Jared Goff Jersey , where semi-aquatic spiders have often been witnessed catching and eating small freshwater fish such as mosquitofish, the researchers said.


In order to catch its prey, the spider will typically anchor its hind legs to a stone or a plant, with its front legs resting on the surface of the water, ready to ambush, they said. The fish will then be dragged to a dry place before the feeding process can begin which usually lasts several hours.


"Our finding of such a large diversity of spider families being engaged in fish predation is novel," they wrote in their paper. " Evidence suggests that fish ... might be an occasional prey item of substantial nutritional importance."


MELBOURNE, Jan. 14 (Xinhua) -- Tournament organizers and Aussie fans are licking their lips at the possibility of the first Australian men's champion in more than 40 years Women's Todd Gurley II Jersey , after two Australians were seeded for the first time in 12 years.


Bernard Tomic and Nick Kyrgios were both ranked inside the best 32 men at the 2016 Open when tournament organizers revealed the seeds on Thursday.


Not since 2004 has Australia had two men seeded at the tournament, when Mark Philippoussis was ranked No. 10 and Lleyton Hewitt was ranked 15. On top of that, it is the first time since 2010 that Australia has had a seeded man in the draw.


Tomic, seeded 16, will likely not have to face a seed higher than him until the fourth round, if he makes it that far, with the draw likely to pit him against the fourth seed. Meawhile Kyrgios has been ranked 29th.


Tournament organizers will be hoping that Kyrgios or Tomic can make a run for the title, as the last Australian man to win the Open was Mark Edmondson back in 1976. The last Australian to make the final was Hewitt 11 years ago in 2005 Cheap Robert Woods Jersey , when he lost to Russian Marat Safin.


This is the first time either of the men have been ranked at Melbourne Park, despite Kyrgios having made a quarterfinal and Tomic having made the fourth round of the Australian Open twice already.


Both of the Australians have displayed good form in lead-up tournaments, with Tomic blazing his way through the Sydney International as the top seed, while Kyrgios played a great hand in helping Australia win the Hopman Cup in Perth last week.


However Kyrgios suffered a minor injury setback on Wednesday, pulling out of the Kooyong Classic in Melbourne with an achilles complaint. In a press conference following his retirement, Kyrgios said he would be fine for the Australian Open.


Fellow Aussie Samantha Stosur was the only local woman to be seeded. She is ranked 25th going into the tournament.


Australian Open organizers also revealed the full seed listings on Thursday, with Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams the No. 1 seeds in the men's and women's draws.


Andy Murray, Roger Federer Cheap Sammy Watkins Jersey , Stan Wawrinka, Rafael Nadal, Tomas Berdych, Kei Nishikori and David Ferrer round out the top eight seeds on the men's side, while Simona Halep, Garbine Muguruza, Agnieszka Radwanska, Maria Sharapova Cheap Cooper Kupp Jersey , Petra Kvitova, Angelique Kerber and Venus Williams make up the women's eight along with Williams.


The tournament begins in Melbourne on Monday, Jan. 18.
