Dondale and lames H. Redner Biosystematics Research Ce [...] This process has apparently occurred independently among the wolf spiders, the nurseryweb spiders, and the lynx spiders, for web builders occur in each of the three families in warmer parts of the world. [...] The closest relatives of the wolf spiders are probably the nurseryweb spiders (Dondale 1986), but the relationships of the lynx spiders to the other two groups are not yet known. [...] The copulatory tubes and spermathecae are examined by removal of the epigynum, followed by a brief clearing of the inner structures with oil of cloves. [...] The principal mouthparts and the legs project from the membrane joining the edges of carapace and sternum.

Download or read book Sex Size and Gender Roles written by Daphne J. Fairbairn and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2007-07-05 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do males and females frequently differ so markedly in body size and morphology?lSex, Size, and Gender Roles is the first book to investigate the genetic, developmental, and physiological basis of sexual size dimorphism found within and among the major taxonomic groups of animals. Carefully edited by a team of world-renowned specialists in the field to ensure a coherence of style and approach between chapters, it presents a compendium of studies into the evolution, adaptive significance, and developmental basis of gender differences in body size and morphology. Adaptive hypotheses allude to gender-specific reproductive roles and associated differences in trophic ecologies, life history strategies, and sexual selection. This "adaptationist" approach is balanced by more mechanistic studies of the genetic, developmental and physiological basis of sexual size dimorphism to provide a comprehensive and authoritative overview of the subject. Throughout the volume the emphasis is on sexual dimorphism in overall size; however, the scope of enquiry encompasses gender differences in body shape, the size and structure of secondary sexual characteristics, patterns of growth (ontogeny), and patterns of gene regulation. This advanced, research level text is suitable for graduate level students and researchers in the fields of evolutionary biology, behavioural ecology, physiology, developmental biology, and genetics. It will also be of relevance and use to non-biologists from fields such as anthropology and gender studies.
