Download or read book The Structure of the Central Nervous System of Jumping Spiders of the Genus Phidippus Araneae Salticidae written by David Edwin Hill and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The central nervous system of Phidippus, while comparable to that of other spiders in most respects, is distinguished by the extraordinary development of visual processing centers, associated with the complex visually-directed behavior of these animals. The primary neuropile of the anterior medial eyes consists of two distinct columnar synapsing regions. There is some evidence that the geometry of this structure may correspond to the arrangement of receptors in the anterior medial eyes. First-order interneurons link this primary neuropile with a less structured, massive secondary neuropile at the top of the syncerebrum. The optic nerve fibers of each lateral eye synapse in a convoluted primary neuropile. Two distinct first order interneuron types join this neurcroile to a lateral eye neuropile and the protocerebrum on one hand, and to the glomerular layer of the corpora pedunculata on the other. Each of these interneurons branches to form two separate synapsing regions in the primary neuropile. The small optic nerve of the posterior medial eyes synapses in a glomerular neuropile. Large interneuron fibers associated with this neuropile lead to the protocerebrum. This structure suggests a special role for information provided by the posterior medial eyes, perhaps in the regulation of diurnal activity patterns. In the corpora pedunculata, intrinsic fibers synapse anteriorly with first-order interneurons of the lateral eyes, and form linear fibers bearing numerous synaptic glomeruli in the pedunculus. The latter is the site of extensive synapsing with extrinsic fibers. The corpora pedunculata are considered to be secondary visual centers, quite possibly concerned with directed orientation to visual stimuli. In structure they are the analogs, rather than the homologs, of similar structures observed in annelids and in other arthropods. This distinction supports the separation of the Chelicerata from the latter groups. The structure of the central body agrees with its accepted role as either a major association center, or as the source of complex programmed behavior.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concentrating on the complex spider communication system, this book assembles the most recent multidisciplinary advances of leading researchers from many countries to assess the peculiar role spiders play in the animal kingdom. Originally published in 1982. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
Download or read book Spider Behaviour written by Marie Elisabeth Herberstein and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-01-27 with total page 417 pages. 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.

Download or read book Biology of Spiders written by Rainer Foelix and published by OUP USA. This book was released on 2011-05-05 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the only books to treat the whole spider, from its behavior and physiology to its neurobiology and reproductive characteristics, Biology of Spiders is considered a classic in spider literature. First published in German in 1979, the book is now in its third edition, and has established itself as the supreme authority on these fascinating creatures. Containing five hundred new references, this book incorporates the latest research while dispelling many oft-heard myths and misconceptions that surround spiders. Of special interest are chapters on the structure and function of spider webs and silk, as well as those on spider venom. A new subchapter on tarantulas will appeal especially to tarantula keepers and breeders. The highly accessible text is supplemented by exceptional, high-quality photographs, many of them originals, and detailed diagrams. It will be of interest to arachnologists, entomologists, and zoologists, as well as to academics, students of biology, and the general reader curious about spiders.
