Behavioral Repertory of the Neotropical Harvestman Ilhaia Cuspidata (opiliones, Gonyleptidae)
In this study, we provide an ethogram for the harvestman Ilhaia cuspidata and describe the daily activity pattern of captive individuals. We also provide a comparison between the behavioral repertory of this species with that of the syntopic Discocyrtus oliverioi. Five females and four males of I. cuspidata were maintained in the same terrarium from November 1999–November 2000 for qualitative a...
متن کاملReproductive biology of the neotropical harvestman (Goniosoma longipes) (Arachnida, Opiliones: Gonyleptidae): mating and oviposition behaviour, brood mortality, and parental care
Goniosoma longipes is a neotropical cavernicolous harvestman that exhibits parental care. Reproductive activity in G. longipes is more intense during the wet season. Mating lasts up to 3 min, and the whole oviposition process may take over 5 h. During oviposition the female may be reinseminated once or twice by the mating male. Females oviposit 60±210 eggs on the cave wall and guard egg batches...

Although harvestmen seem to be generalist omnivorous arthropods, accepting both plant and animal matter, several species show a tendency to carnivory (Bris-Reports of fru-givory in harvestmen are scarce and in general are restricted to captive an...
متن کاملDaily activity schedule, gregariousness, and defensive behaviour in the Neotropical harvestman Goniosoma longipes (Opiliones: Gonyleptidae)
In this paper we provide a ® eld account of some aspects of the behavioural biology of Goniosoma longipes (Roewer), a harvestman which commonly occurs in caves in South-east Brazil. During daytime, solitary and aggregated individuals can be found resting on the cave walls. Just after sunset, however, many individuals leave the cave to forage for live and dead arthropods. Foraging individuals re...
