Mate availability does not influence mating strategies in males of the sexually cannibalistic spider Argiope bruennichi [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Background Sexual selection theory predicts that male investment in a current female should be a function of female density and male competition. While many studies have focused on male competition, the impact of female density on male mating investment ...

Time of oviposition and reproductive success in Argiope bruennichi (Araneae: Araneidae) [PDF]
European Journal of Entomology, 2005 Time of oviposition and investment in reproduction output are a crucial decision for animals which could affect their fitness. In this study, the factors determining the time of oviposition and the consequences it has for clutch size and juvenile ...

Effects of social information on life history and mating tactics of males in the orb‐web spider Argiope bruennichi [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2018 Informed mating decisions are often based on social cues providing information about prospective mating opportunities. Social information early in life can trigger developmental modifications and influence later mating decisions. A high adaptive value of

Function of bright coloration in the wasp spider Argiope bruennichi (Araneae: Araneidae). [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2008 There are two major competing explanations for the counter-intuitive presence of bright coloration in certain orb-web spiders. Bright coloration could lure insect prey to the web vicinity, increasing the spider's foraging success. Alternatively, the markings could function as disruptive camouflage, making it difficult for the insect prey ...

Sperm dynamics in spiders (Araneae): ultrastructural analysis of the sperm activation process in the garden spider Argiope bruennichi (Scopoli, 1772). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Storage of sperm inside the female genital tract is an integral phase of reproduction in many animal species. The sperm storage site constitutes the arena for sperm activation, sperm competition and female sperm choice. Consequently, to understand animal

The Mediterranean-Pontian Argiope bruennichi (Scopoli, 1772) in Poland – overview of traits favouring range expansion [PDF]
European Journal of EcologyDue to climate warming the distribution of Southern European species has extended to the north in recent years. Currently, Argiope bruennichi (Scopoli, 1772) is distributed over the whole territory of Poland.
