Vestiges of an orb-weaving ancestor? The “biogenetic law” and ontogenetic changes in the webs and building behavior of the black widow spider Latrodectus geometricus (Araneae Theridiidae)
(2008)
Young juveniles of L. geometricus fit the strong trend for “ontogeny to repeat phylogeny” previously documented in other web-building spiders; younger spiders were less likely to build the derived silk retreats that occur ...
A new orb-weaving spider from the Argentinean flooding pampas grasses: Aculepeira morenoae new species (Araneae, Araneidae)
(Magnolia Press, 2013-02)
A new species of the orb-weaving spider genus Aculepeira Chamberling & Ivie 1942, A. morenoae new species, is described and illustrated based on male and female specimens from the Argentinean natural flooding pampas grasses.
Web height as a niche separator in two orb-weaving spiders.
(Living World, J. Trinidad and Tobago Field Naturalists’ Club, 2006)
Checklist of Orb-Weaving Spiders of Trinidad and Tobago Belonging to the Families Araneidae, Nephilidae and Tetragnathidae.

A proteotranscriptomic study of silk-producing glands from the orb-weaving spiders
(Royal Soc Chemistry, 2019-08-01)
Orb-weaving spiders can produce different silk fibers, which constitute outstanding materials characterized by their high strength and elasticity. Researchers have tried to reproduce the fibers of these proteins synthetically ...
More sharing when there is less: insights on spider sociality from an orb-weaver's perspective
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2008-03)
I examined the potential genetic and environmental determinants of population differences in the foraging behaviour of the colonial spider Parawixia bistriata by using reciprocal transplant and prey manipulation experiments. ...
Orb-weaving spider diversity in the Iberá Marshlands, Argentina
(Sociedade Entomológica do Brasil, 2010-07)
The Iberá Marshlands RAMSAR reserve, in the northeast of Argentina, is one of the largest and most important wetlands of America. In this study we assess orb-weaving spider (Araneae: Orbiculariae) diversity in this reserve, ...
PYRROLIZIDINE ALKALOIDS IN THE ARCTIID MOTH HYALURGA-SYMA
(Plenum Publ CorpNew York, 1993)
Cues guiding uloborid construction behavior support orb web monophyly
(2015)
Behavior can provide useful traits for testing phylogenetic hypotheses, and some details of orb web construction behavior have been especially useful in characterizing higher-level groups in spiders. The cues used to guide ...
Hub thread removal behaviour in the orb weaver Leucauge mariana (Araneae: Tetragnathidae)
(2020-11-05)
Many orb-weaving spiders break the central lines of the hub at the end of web construction. Nevertheless, very little is known of how spiders break these lines and whether this behaviour differs among taxa. Here, we describe ...
