Tara Kidd PhD, MSc, BSc (Hons), Cpsycholpresents an overview of our knowledge of spider–plant interactions. Spiders are strongly influenced by plant architecture, rather than being randomly distributed in the vegetation; structures such as rosette-shaped clusters of leaves or glandular trichomes are particularly common in plants that have

Because spiders are usually cannibalistic, conspecifics fall within these two categories in addition to being competitors. Specifically for ambush and cursorial spiders, the type of substrate is also very relevant because spiders often rel

Thus, our knowledge of prey specialist (and stenophagous) species is very limited despite the high number of endemic species occurring in the Neotropics, many o

In this chapter, we will present current knowledge about different studies concerning the role of spiders in agroecosystems, with em

Nevertheless, sociality has arisen in multiple families independently in spiders, probably via the ‘maternal care route’, with an apparent concentration of social species in the Neotropics. We review aspects of reproduction and maternal care and how these may interplay with the evolution

A number of morphological structures and behaviours in spiders have been proposed to be anti-predator adaptations. They comprise strategies such as background matching, disruptive patterns, web decorat
