Title
Zoology: Breathing deep.
Abstract
The article discusses polar gigantism in spiders such as the Antarctic sea spider and their tropical cousins. The focus of the article is research by Arthur Woods and colleagues testing their hypothesis for the spider's size which they believe is related to the influence of polar water and low-oxygen environmental factors. An overview of the research methodology of Wood's team and the results of their observations are presented.
