Hub thread removal behaviour in the orb weaver Leucauge mariana (Araneae: Tetragnathidae)
Barrantes Montero, Gilbert; Zúñiga Madrigal, Jorge; Solano Brenes, Diego (2020-11-05)Many orb-weaving spiders break the central lines of the hub at the end of web construction. Nevertheless, very little is known of how spiders break these lines and whether this behaviour differs among taxa. Here, we describe ... -
Making the invisible visible: methods to enhance features of tiny spider webs
Solano Brenes, Diego; Miranda Garnier, Ximena; Barrantes Montero, Gilbert (2018)The characteristics and designs of webs provide valuable information on ecology, behavior and phylogenetic relationships. Characters are often obtained from detailed analyses of web photographs. We describe new methods to ... -
Nest initiation by multiple females in an aerial-nesting orchid bee, Euglossa cybelia (Apidae: Euglossini)
Solano Brenes, Diego; Fernández Otárola, Mauricio; Hanson Snortun, Paul (2018)Among orchid bees that have been observed, nest initiation by multiple females is rare, and has never been reported from an aerial-nesting species. Here, we document nest initiation by multiple females in the aerial-nesting ... -
Web building behavior in a wall spider (Oecobiidae) suggests a close relationship with orb-weavers
Solano Brenes, Diego; Muniz, Danilo G.; Sandoval Vargas, Luis Andrés; Alvarado Rodríguez, Olman; Barrantes Montero, Gilbert (2022)Behavior is often phylogenetically informative and detailed descriptions of behavior have been used to support taxonomic relationships in several groups, such as birds, lizards, and arthropods. Web building behavior has ... -
When a little is enough: cocoon web of Kapogea cyrtophoroides (Araneae: Araneidae) induced by Hymenoepimecis heidyae (Ichneumonidae: Pimplinae)
Barrantes Montero, Gilbert; Segura Hernández, Laura; Solano Brenes, Diego; Hanson Snortun, Paul (2018)The final instar larvae of the koinobiont ectoparasitoids in the Polysphincta group of genera induce their host spiders to construct webs that protect the wasp pupa during its development. It has been hypothesized that ...
