Sexual selection and social context: Web-building spiders as emerging models for adaptive plasticity
2019, Advances in the Study of BehaviorCitation Excerpt :Mismatches will be more likely, and plasticity in response to local cues less likely, if females frequently relocate their webs. Females of some web-building spiders relocate their webs when habitat quality is poor, when there is frequent web disturbance/damage, low prey availability, low rates of mate attraction (Chmiel, Herberstein, & Elgar, 2000; Enders, 1975; Janetos, 1982; Kasumovic & Jordan, 2013; McNett & Rypstra, 1997; Riechert & Gillespie, 1986; Salomon, 2009) or as the suitability of web support structures changes as the spider grows (Lubin et al., 1993; Lubin, Kotzman, & Ellner, 1991). Web relocation is relatively common among females of many Argiope species that rebuild their web each day and may move web locations as often as every 2 days (Janetos, 1982).
The contribution of shelter from rain to the success of pit-building predators in urban habitats
2018, Animal BehaviourCitation Excerpt :Relocation in trap-building predators is both costly and risky (e.g. Lubin, Ellner, & Kotzman, 1993; Lucas, 1985), but, despite its cost, it is common in such predators following different types of disturbance (e.g. Enders, 1976; Matsura & Takano, 1989; Rittschof & Ruggles, 2010; but see Eltz, 1997, for no effect). In some spiders, relocation paths take the direction opposite to that of the approach of the disturbance (Chmiel, Herberstein, & Elgar, 2000). Watering the sand in our case had no clear directionality, leading to mixed directions of relocations (I. Scharf, personal observation).
