Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food quantity is one factor that affects growth in many spider species. Generally, increases in the amount of food an animal consumes result in larger adult body sizes, decreased maturation times, and fewer molts to maturity. Therefore, it was hypothesized that different feeding regimes would have similar effects on the growth of the wolf spider Hogna helluo (Araneae: Lycosidae). To examine the effects of food quantity, fifty early instar Hogna were separated from the first clutch of two mothers, and initial measurements of weight and carapace width were taken. Twenty-five spiders from each mother were placed on one of two feeding regimes that differed in the frequency with which they were fed. For the duration of the experiment, dates of molting events were recorded. Upon maturation, final body size measurements were taken; and maturation time, number of instars to maturity, and time spent in the penultimate instar were calculated. Hogna were larger, heavier, and underwent fewer molts to maturity when reared on a high quantity diet. However, differences in survival, maturation time, and time spent in the penultimate instar were not detected.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spiders are often underestimated as suitable behavioural models because of the general belief that due to their small brains their behaviour is innate and mostly invariable. Challenging this assumption, this fascinating book shows that rather than having a limited behavioural repertoire, spiders show surprising cognitive abilities, changing their behaviour to suit their situational needs. The team of authors unravels the considerable intra-specific as well as intra-individual variability and plasticity in different behaviours ranging from foraging and web building to communication and courtship. An introductory chapter on spider biology, systematics and evolution provides the reader with the necessary background information to understand the discussed behaviours and helps to place them into an evolutionary context. Highlighting an under-explored area of behaviour, this book will provide new ideas for behavioural researchers and students unfamiliar with spiders as well as a valuable resource for those already working in this intriguing field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the last few decades, arachnology in the Neotropical region has experienced a great development filling the knowledge gap in one of the most diverse regions of the world. Nevertheless, large geographical areas remain poorly sampled, especially within the Amazon, and new genera and species have been continuously discovered, even in urban areas. In congruence with the recent improvements in research, several aspects of the ecology, behaviour and natural history of spiders, such as interactions with other predators and parasitoids, social interactions, dispersal patterns, habitat requirements, mating behaviors, among others, are being carefully investigated. These recent contributions incorporate substantial information on the preexisting knowledge on these subjects every year. Our main objective with this book is to present a summary on these new researches and on the currently knowledge on the main subjects involved in the general theme, emphasizing the contribution of the rich fauna of the Neotropical region to the research of behaviour and ecology of the spiders.

Download or read book Geographic Variation in Behavior written by Susan A. Foster and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1999-03-04 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies of animal behavior often assume that all members of a species exhibit the same behavior. Geographic Variation in Behavior shows that, on the contrary, there is substantional variation within species across a wide range of taxa. Including work from pioneers in the field, this volume provides a balanced overview of research on behavioral characteristics that vary geographically. The authors explore the mechanisms by which behavioral differences evolve and examine related methodological issues. Taken together, the work collected here demonstrates that genetically based geographic variation may be far more widespread than previously suspected. The book also shows how variation in behavior can illuminate both behavioral evolution and general evolutionary patterns. Unique among books on behavior in its emphasis on geographic variation, this volume is a valuable new resource for students and researchers in animal behavior and evolutionary biology.
