Ecology
Pimoa rupicola is a troglophile species, abundant in subterranean habitats and occasionally recorded from surface habitats such as leaf litter, humid rocks covered by mosses and mountain screes. The species occurs preferentially in areas characterized by a Mediterranean climate.[4]
Morphology
The male palp is characterized by a semicircular embolic area. The cymbium is flat, circular, and shows unusual modifications on its retro-lateral margin. The embolus has 3 processes; the paracymbium has no discrete sclerite.[1]
gollark: Er, my point is that there are bad things they can do with it which don't necessarily involve selling it to other companies.
gollark: Google also had that whole thing with tracking locations even when that was disabled.
gollark: So you're just hoping that evil governments will also be incompetent?
gollark: Also, you live in Turkey, which has a kind of evil government, right? If Google cooperated with them, they could probably use that data to track down and/or identify dissidents.
gollark: I think they already use location data to "help" investigate crimes, in ways which tend to implicate innocent people randomly.
