Orb-web weaving spiders in the early Cretaceous
Nature, 1989THE use of a snare woven from spun silk as a means of capturing prey is the most outstanding achievement of spiders. Fossil spider spinnerets are known from the Devonian1 and Carboniferous2 periods. Presented here, however, is evidence of the antiquity of the use of woven silk in prey capture: spider fossils showing morphological adaptations for web ...

Vibration Signal Transmission in Spider Orb Webs
Science, 1981Vibration transmission from the prey-catching region to the hub of the unloaded orb web of Nuctenea sclopetaria was measured by laser vibrometry. Compared to transverse or lateral vibrations, longitudinal vibration shows less attenuation and contains more directional information.

Ageing alters spider orb-web construction
Animal Behaviour, 2012Ageing is known to induce profound effects on physiological functions but only a few studies have focused on its behavioural alterations. Orb-webs of spiders, however, provide an easily analysable structure, the result of complex sequences of stereotypical behaviours that are particularly relevant to the study of ageing processes.

Pretensile forces were measured in individual threads of intact spider webs. In the orb web of Araneus diadematus forces decrease from mooring threads to frame threads and radii, a typical ratio being 10:7:1. The smaller number of radii in the upper than in the lower half of the orb is paralleled by force ratios of 2:1 to 3:1.

Optics of spider "sticky" orb webs
SPIE Proceedings, 2011Spider orb webs are known to produce colour displays in nature, both in reflection and transmission of sunlight, under certain illumination conditions. The cause of these colours has been the subject of speculation since the time of Newton. It has also been the topic of observational interpretation and some experiment which has proposed diffraction ...

Food caching in orb-web spiders (Araneae: Araneoidea)
Naturwissenschaften, 2001Caching or storing surplus prey may reduce the risk of starvation during periods of food deprivation. While this behaviour occurs in a variety of birds and mammals, it is infrequent among invertebrates. However, golden orb-web spiders, Nephila edulis, incorporate a prey cache in their relatively permanent web, which they feed on during periods of food ...

Behavioural and biomaterial coevolution in spider orb webs
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2010AbstractMechanical performance of biological structures, such as tendons, byssal threads, muscles, and spider webs, is determined by a complex interplay between material quality (intrinsic material properties, larger scale morphology) and proximate behaviour.
