Abstract:Many spider species build webs and remain resting on this structure to capture prey. In addition, the transmission of vibrational stimuli on webs is involved with the identification of sexual partners and the silk may act like a physical barrier that minimizes predation risk. Nevertheless, the web can be used by intruder, kleptoparasite spiders, and may allow access to araneophagic predators. In this study we observed an araneophagic species, Gelanor zonatus, and two species usually considered as kleptoparasit… Show more
