新西兰的一项研究发现,南非的入侵假卡提帕蜘蛛比本地的卡提帕蜘蛛更大胆、更具探索性,有可能使其在沙丘等混乱生境中处于边缘。 A New Zealand study finds the invasive false katipō spider, from South Africa, exhibits bolder, more exploratory behavior than the native katipō, potentially giving it an edge in disturbed habitats like sand dunes. 虽然两者以相似的速度攀升,但假的Katips增加了活动和探索的意愿,可能有助于其扩散。 Though both climb at similar speeds, the false katipō’s increased activity and willingness to explore may aid its spread. 它的存在虽然对人类无害,但不断增加,引起了对土著物种的生态关切,这些物种独特,具有文化意义。 While not harmful to humans, its growing presence raises ecological concerns for the native species, which are unique and culturally significant. 研究人员敦促保护沙丘栖息地,但不建议捕捉入侵蜘蛛。 Researchers urge protection of sand dune habitats but do not recommend culling the invasive spiders.
