Influence of Prey Size on the Capture of Social Wasps (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) by the Orb-Web Spider Nephilengys cruentata
(California State University, 2010-01-01)
The objective of the present study was to evaluate the plasticity of the hunting behavior of the spider Nephilengys cruentata (Araneae: Nephilidae) facing different species of social wasps. Considering that wasps can consume ...

The prey attack behavior of achaearanea tesselata (araneae, theridiidae)
(2006)
The attack behavior of the cobweb spider Achaearanea tesselata (Keyserling 1884) is roughly separated into three sequential steps: descend from the suspended retreat, pass through the sheet threads, and wrap the prey from ...
Ant mimicry in the spider Myrmecotypus iguazu (Araneae: Corinnidae), with notes about myrmecomorphy in spiders
(American Arachnological Society, 2013-11)
We describe the mimetic relationship between the ant-like spider Myrmecotypus iguazu Rubio & Arbino 2009 (Araneae: Corinnidae) and the carpenter ant Camponotus sericeiventris Gue´rin (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), studied in ...
The effect of hunger level on predation dynamics in the spider Nesticodes rufipes: a functional response study
(Springer, 2006-09-01)
It is well known that a predator has the potential to regulate a prey population only if the predator responds to increases in prey density and inflicts greater mortality rates. Predators may cause such density-dependent ...
Inverted roles: Spider predation upon Neotropical velvet worms ( Epiperipatus spp.; Onychophora: Peripatidae)
(Universidad Estatal a Distancia de Costa Rica, 2016)
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 ...
Influence of collective feeding on weight gain and size variability of Anelosimus jabaquara Levi 1956 (Araneae : Theridiidae)
