Description
Weronika Porc and co-authors test how electromagnetic fields affect a common house spider in this 2026 study. Fields from modern devices are everywhere, and their effects on small animals are a growing concern. Spiders matter for ecosystems, yet field effects on them were little studied.
Young and adult spiders, and embryos inside and outside the egg sac, were exposed to a 10 MHz field for 24 or 72 hours. The team measured a stress protein and cell death markers. Embryos outside the sac showed much higher stress and cell death than those inside, which suggests the cocoon gives partial shielding. Responses varied by life stage and grew with longer exposure.
