About this document
New Gibellula Species in British Spiders by MaGaO is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document describes the araneopathogenic genus Gibellula, focusing on a newly identified species, Gibellula attenboroughii, which infects orb-weaving cave spiders in the British Isles. The study highlights the hidden diversity of Gibellula in the region and includes the transfer of two spider pathogens from the genus Torrubiella to Gibellula. Morphological and phylogenetic analyses confirm the distinctiveness of the new species and its behavioral effects on infected spider hosts.
