Resting Postures of Orb-weaving Uloborid Spider S (araneae, Uloboridae )
Observations of 22 orb-weaving species of the family Uloboridae show that these spiders assum e one of four basic resting postures as they hang beneath the web's hub . The primitive pattern found in Tangaroa and Octonoba is characterized by all legs being spread and about equally flexed, whereas i n Zosis the protracted first legs grasp the web at nearly the same point . Uloborus species typica...
متن کاملTime till death affects spider mobility and web-building behavior during web construction in an orb-web spider
It is well known that age influences organism mobility. This was demonstrated in vertebrates (such as mammals and birds) but has been less studied in invertebrates with the exception of Drosophila and the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Here we studied the influence of age on the mobility of the orb-weaving spider Zygiella x-notata during web construction. The orb-web is a good model because i...
متن کاملOrb Webs in "non-orb Weaving" Ogre-faced Spiders (araneae: Dinopidae): a Question of Genealogy
Observations of web spinning behavior in Costa Rican Dinopis sp. reveal the same behaviors synapomorphic for orb weavers: specifically frame, radius, non-sticky spiral construction, and sticky spiral construction, as well as more detailed motor patterns. Dinopids are therefore highly derived orb weavers, although the behavioral data do not conclusively indicate whether they are more closely rel...
متن کاملWhy don't guiding cues always guide in behavior chains?
This research focused on the changes in stimulus control that influence an animal's ability to master a behavioral skill. We assessed stimulus control by (a) predictive environmental cues (panel lights) and (b) practice cues resulting from the subject's own behavior, as rats learned to complete a left-right lever-press sequence. Following a demonstration of overshadowing by Reid, Nill, and Getz...
متن کاملFlexible Support of Orb Interoperability Flexible Support of Orb Interoperability
The Camouflage Project is a national german research initiative led by the Deutsche Telekom. It aims at the provision of a TINA conform distributed processing environment based on existing legacy telecommunication systems. To achieve this goal new concepts for the interoperability between CORBA islands have been developed and implemented. This comprises pluggable Message Transfer Protocols and ...
