摘要: Theraphosid tarantulas are large spiders that bear dense hairy adhesive pads on the distal parts of their legs: scopula and claw tufts. These structures allow them to climb vertical smooth surfaces contribute prey capture. While adult females juveniles remain most time in burrows, males actively walk searching for during reproductive period. Adhesion locomotion thus play important roles ecology reproduction these animals. In this paper, we review current state knowledge adhesion tarantulas, focusing functional evolutionary morphology.
