Sexual cannibalism in the spiderAlpaida veniliae(Keyserling 1865) (Araneae: Araneidae)
Postmating cannibalism where a female attacks, kills and consumes a male after a sexual encounter is frequently influenced by certain male morphological and behavioral characteristics. We conducted behavioral assays in the laboratory to test the predictions that male Alpaida veniliae (Keyserling 1865) with larger absolute and relative size in relation ...

Mediante el índice de Ivlev se estableció la selectividad de A. veniliae sobre las presas Conocephalus sp. (Tettigoniidae) y Hortensia similis (Cicadellidae). Las presas reales se determinaron mediante censos visuales en transectos. Para determinar la tasa de consumo de presa/araña/día, se revisaron 10 telas de arañas en campo, contabilizando las ...

Soybean pest control in Argentina is done just by chemical control using broad-spectrum pesticides. Alpaida veniliae (Araneae, Araneidae) is one of the most abundant spider species of the orb web weaver guild in soybean, and it is considered a very important polyphagous predator, attacking different insects' families. The objective of this study was to
