Dynamic Ecosystems category winner: Small warrior by Roberto García Roa (University of Valencia), taken in Malaysia. “Size matters in nature, but not always. Spiders are interesting animals that have evolved different strategies (eg venom or their complex webs) to cope with the problem of being smaller that their prey or predators. As an example, this tiny spider I found in Malaysia had captured an ant, whose size was much bigger than the spider”.
