摘要: Abstract When there are direct conflicts in resource allocation to foraging effort versus growth and development, the relative may change a predictable manner with development. Orb-webs provide physical record of foraging, their synthesis requires investment physiologically important resources. Spiders strongly seasonal habitats must complete development prior end season, be expected alter maximize probability successful reproduction. Comparison populations orb-weaving spider Nephila clavipes (Araneae, Nephilidae) very less allows testing for changes resources during Orb-web size increases increasing size, little variation slope among populations. However, univoltine inhabiting habitats, orb web is not simple function spider...
