Microbiome response to cadmium and copper ingestion in the spider Steatoda grossa (Theridiidae): short-term and long-term effects of metal intoxication

The purpose of our study was to quantitatively and qualitatively evaluate changes in the microbiome of the opisthosoma of the spider Steatoda grossa (Theridiidae) in response to short-term (4 weeks) and long-term (12 months) exposure to copper, as a biogenic element, and cadmium, as a xenobiotic, ad...
