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 ...
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 ...
The evolution of prey‐wrapping behaviour in spiders
(2007)
We traced the evolution of silk use by spiders in attacks on prey by combining previous publications with new observations of 31 species in 16 families. Two new prey‐wrapping techniques are described. One, in which the ...

Group foraging in the colonial spider Parawixia bistriata (Araneidae): effect of resource levels and prey size
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2007-11)
In animal groups whose focus is on juvenile growth, prey attributes and the way in which individuals have access to those prey influence the level of sociality. Models examining the evolution of group foraging predict that, ...
