Beyond spider personality: The relationships between behavioral, physiological, and environmental factors

Spiders are useful models for testing different hypotheses and methodologies relating to animal personality behavioral syndromes because they show a range of types unique physiological traits (e.g., silk venom) that not observed in many other animals. These characteristics allow understanding how physiology, plasticity, interact across contexts affect spider's individual fitness survival. However, the relative effect extrinsic factors on (silk, venom, neurohormones) play an important role spider survival, which may impact personality, has received less attention. The goal this review is explore environment, experience, ontogeny, physiology contexts. We highlight traits, such as neurohormones, biochemical weapons, namely silks venoms, use these might, or might not, be constrained limited by particular types. argue that, develop comprehensive flexibility persistence specific spiders, it necessary incorporate underlying mechanisms into synthesized whole, alongside intrinsic factors.
