Abstract in brief

Marine-associated spiders are a rare adaptation within the largely terrestrial spider group, with less than 0.3% of all spider species found in marine environments.
These spiders live in challenging habitats influenced by tides, saltwater, and hydraulic forces, which often require specialized physiological and behavioral adaptations like air bubble respiration and airtight nests to survive inundation.
Their survival strategies include osmotic regulation, predator avoidance, and reproductive and locomotory adaptations that help them withstand the extreme conditions of marine and freshwater habitats.]
