The relationship between wind and waves has been extensively studied over time. However, understanding the local wind and wave relationship remains crucial for advancing renewable energy development and optimizing ocean management strategies. This study used wind and wave data collected by the ten weather buoys in the waters surrounding Taiwan to analyze regional sea states. The relationship between wind speed and significant...

Pisauridae are a global and heterogeneous assemblage of spider genera with diverse morphologies and lifestyles. So far, the monophyly of Pisauridae and the inclusion of fishing spiders ( Dolomedes ) in this family have not been thoroughly tested. Here, we amend the systematics and classification of these lineages within a UCE phylogenomic framework and through a detailed morphological reappraisal. For estimations of their evol...
